Nice Accessory But You May Need A Blower That Fits Or Be Handy That Way. -- This is a great product because the sections screw together and will not come apart and fall on your head. This is especially important if you put two sets together for the second floor gutter. The button-held-oval blower fitting works really great for either one of the two Wead Eater-Poulan electric blowers with the button that weighs less than five pounds. Together with the attachment, weighs less than 10 pounds. The bottom pipe section rotates but snaps together tightly and will not come apart. The same goes for the blower fittings (you get only two) that connect to that same elbow. The Weadeater-Poulan blower connects nice and snug but would be even nicer if they put the rocker switch up on/near your hand on the handle, where it would be easier to hold everything while you put it on/off. If you are handy like me, you can do this yourself some evening with crimper/blade connectors and shrink tubing or vinyl tape, and some precision plastic trimming with a knife and mini-hacksaw. If gutters haven't been cleaned in a long long time, and the leaves are caked in solid, you may have to go up and scrape the gutters to the bottom, or try to do that with the blower endpiece from the ground, which may be more trouble than it's worth.
Simple And Handy -- I bought this to clear my 15ft high gutters. Easy to assemble and fit right into my Weedeater blower without issue. The glasses are great too as I got covered in debris! Slight downside would have to be that I was using a ladder to clean out (being that the attachment is 10ft) and it does get a little top heavy sometimes, though hard work never scared me. It's easy to put together - just read the instructions so you're putting the right bits in.
Not Worth The Money -- While it was fairly simple to put together, using it is another story. It was very unstable once on the blower and the power on. I tried to steady it while the blower was on, but it is too hard to try and hold this contraption and the blower at the same time. I even tried to take off the extensions and use it on a ladder (effectively defeating the purpose of purchasing this), but that too proved too cumbersome. I would discourage others from buying this.
Junk Cleaner -- This product was horrible. Continued to fall apart when fit together. Was not easy to stabilize over drain sprout.
Does Not Fit Ryobi Or Black & Decker -- The attachment to the blower unit did not fit either my Ryobi gas blower or my Black and Decker electric blower. I was able to make a temporary connection using duct tape to the electric blower for testing purposes. While it did blow the debris from the gutter it is somewhat clumsy to hold the vertical attachement during use. If possible you should attempt to confirm that the attachment fits your blower before buying it. I did see from other reviews that it did not fit a Toro either.
