The Gutter Guard - Wedge Eliminates Downspout Pipe Clogs From Leaves and Debris - 2-Pack

I did not have the funds to put on an entire length of gutter guard so I opted to try these products. When they arrived, they were flat in the package and needed to be snap together so I was concerned they were going to be a poorly manufactured and something with break. Turns out they snap together easily and my husband and I quickly place them on the top of our downspouts on our roof. We didn't even need to get on the roof, we just got a ladder and cleaned up and block them in. We've checked them to her three times and there is a substantial amount of debris prior to the unit so it is working properly and now it's nothing goes down the downspout and clocks back.

My Gutter is too small, so was not able to use it (sad!)

These worked really well to prevent leaf clogs.

Made of pretty thin stuff and downspout part is too big to fit in my gutter cause of screws. Might fit other gutters but not mine. Other than that; easy assembly.

*Slow pan across a suburban sprawl, at roof height. Slowly zoom in on one domicile from above: Loose asphalt, pine needles, some leaves and random wind blown seeds, gather upon the roof, giggling quietly among themselves like mad imps, waiting for the next rain storm, to be carried over the edge, into your gutters, only to slowly get lodged in the exact middle of your downspout.Cut to a closeup of the naked despair and rage upon the faces of the men and woman as they try in vain to clamber up ladders and pull out these blockages by hand, or with grasping claws, or with futile excess, try to blast the garden hose into the metal recesses. You may wish you had that drinking water in a few years, friends.But what's this? One house among the many, containing a joyous couple, trio, multi-generational gathering, or whatever combination of humans, pets, technology and food constitutes a family in the cockles of your heart and pathways of your brain, has installed these gutter guards! The leaves and pine needles have run up against a veritable Spartan shield wall! Torrents of rain pour down, debris piles up on the hypotenuse, to be easily cleaned out, whenever the occupants deem it necessary. Pythagoras be damned! This wedge of overseas plastic instills unending terror in those kamikaze tree raiders! Unverified reports continue to pop up of leaves simply hurling themselves away from houses with the Gutter Guard installed, lest they become a failed mockery, rotting on the ridges of these unyielding guardians! 5 stars, would buy again if I collect another house.

We have some mature trees that drop leaves and seeds that sometimes plug our downspouts and cause the water to overflow in the gutter. I thought I'd try these to see if they would at least keep the gutters from becoming plugged. About a month after installing them we get a good rain and I see that water is coming over the sides of the gutters instead of going down the downspout. Next day I check the gutters and see that they are full of seeds with small trees growing out of them. In the past those seeds would have gone into the downspout and maybe plugged it, maybe not. Instead they got stopped by the gutter guard and guaranteed that each gutter got plugged.In a way, it does what it says it does: Prevents the downspout pipe from becoming clogged. However, it doesn't solve the problem of making sure water can run down the downspout and in my case made the problem worse.

It arrived quick and was easy to assemble and install in the gutter. It doesn’t stop leaf build up or slowing of the drain completely. It just creates more surface area allowing for more build up before stopping up. My only concern is it’s made of plastic and not sure how long it will hold up in the 100 plus temps we receive during the summer.

These work, for about 5 minutes. The only difference is the leaves and debris don't go into the downspout and instead, everything gathers at the Gutter Guard. Leaves and other small debris clog it up and stops water from flowing.
