  • I have tested the Looj under many conditions. Other than a few loose, dry leaves, the Looj does not remove anything. The smallest twig stops the auger and the looj spins. It is a complete waste of money. Moreover, customer support from iRobot is the worst I have every experiences. My advice: don't waste your money on the Looj.

  • I bet 1000000000000$ it doesnt work if your gutters are wet. Which is about 99% of the time.

  • @nvpatentlawyer

    I was just gonna say what you said, and I have never even seen let alone used this thing. Was it not obvious that it would completely do nothing against the slop that is usually in gutters?

  • foxnews just intro

    might b they had pay fox

  • What are those silk leaves, REALLY!

  • what a joke! if you buy this i have a bridge to seel you in NY. i guarantee that thing wont go around corners wont clean full gutters and that i could clean my gutters in a third of the time. id rather spend my $ on a gutter cleaner any day of the week.

  • @nvpatentlawyer I agree.. The best method that i found so far is // youtube.com/watch?v=3-XLhzsYCq­E

    Check it out.

  • Make it work then sell it with a long pole so you don't need a ladder. It can have a wire and loop at the top, so the pole can hook it to retrieve it. Put a video camera at the front so I can see what it is doing. Then sell one to every home owner!

  • Ok I bought it. I own a gutter cleaning business. Out of 15 gutters on different houses it only fit 2. Gutters were too small or the cross bars were too low.

    It must be supervised! And you can't use it from the ground. It's just too likely to get stuck.

    Basically in every situation I've could've used it, it was faster or easier to use a scoop.

    Oh and the first day I got it, I spent 2 hours trying to make it clean a job that would take 20min otherwise.

    So to sum up. You won't save time/money.

  • @haarvey919 it's part of the marketing.

  • Ingenuity.
