Right place for this or not but does anyone on here have answers/questions to these gutter systems?

Anyone install these? Are they worth the money?

Also ETREME trimmer racks? Are they worth it? What else do you guys use?

i would look into the leaf gutter brush. put one in like 3-4 years ago and havent cleaned the gutters since. not sure of the price but but they do a fantastic job a will probably last u a life time. very easy to put in as well. if you want i can get you some pics 4 years after i installed it to get an idea of how well it works.

I can tell you that the gutter helmet things don't work. they defeat the gutters purpose. Anything much more than a sprinkle, and the water just goes over the top...and alongside the house. I discourage customers from going this route. Of course, I don't like the mesh screens, either. The gutter still ends up filling up with silt and seeds, and is a pain to clean.

I have gutter guard. Flat screen that goes under the shingles a bit. Still working great after 5 years. I agree that a heavy rain would over shoot gutter helmet. Something is better than nothing that's for sure
