iRobot Looj meets its match... or does it?!

I finally had a chance to try out the iRobot Looj that I gave my father for Christmas. His gutters were loaded with sludge and lots of maple tree growths. Wow! This thing is actually fun. The video shows my first attempt to use it to clean a heavily loaded gutter. Although it's probably not recommended for such "heavy duty" work, the Looj actually did a great job after I figured it out (AFTER the video was taken). You really just need to take your time and take "small bites" of the debris. If you do that, it will clean out just about everything. Also, originally, I thought it was a problem when the Looj flipped over, however, I now realize that it's not a problem at all. It continues to work fine (top side or bottom side) with the tank tracks. Overall, I must say that I am very impressed with this gadget. For most normal gutter cleanings, it would work great. For heavier problems, it just takes a little patience. Actually, it's alot of fun running this little radio controlled vehicle back and forth. It's much safer too since you only have to set up a ladder in one position and you can work the complete gutter from that location. Enjoy the video and invest in one of these if you want to have "FUN" cleaning up your gutters.

@upjumbo Haha I agree this guys gutters are among the worst I've seen and I would not expect the robot to even do a good job but still there should be a maximum power button or something..... maybe. Either way this is the Fourth video I've watched 2 witch worked but of course they where from the makers website or promotional speaker. The other 2 one from a reviewer and this one which did not work. I was really hoping to get this for my dad Now I am not so sure.

I actually have one of these, and it works great, if your not running a tree farm in your gutters! These guys should be ashamed to even show their gutters on a video. Watch a realistic test to see how it really works!!!

just as soon as i saw the ???GROWTH !...... in this mans gutter ! i just KNEW he was in for a challenge!......i fell out laughing when it kept flipping over ! And the guy was like......"ah?" and i was like " AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" good video though, because the little looj thingy did make a good go of it ! i have to admit, it was a credit to its effort!

I do not think that it was made to dig a hole.

[ljemson]

actually it works left to right and right to left. you need to adjust the auger turn in the direction that will flip the crap out of your gutter onto the ground and not the house.

Wow, that was an amazing gutter. I thought mine were bad, but nothing is actually growing in them. Anyway, I enjoyed your video but next time when you put the camera down, show us what you're doing. We can gather from the sounds, but it would be helpful to see.

[sirsloth]

hah, that's hardly fair. you had plant life and sht growing all up in your gutter.

The looj ONLY works from right to left, not left to right. It the direction of the auger.
