I installed the costco sponge type in a rental house that is surrounded by five 80 year old maple trees.... 8 years later after zero maintenance I pulled them all out and there was only some fine organic debris. I was completely surprised at how well they worked. I recommend and installed them at my home today

Best gutter guard review I've seen yet. I just checked gutters for a customer. She had a woven black flexible mesh installed by some scoundrel a few years ago. All of the big stuff like the Sweetgum spikey balls and leaves and sticks were just sitting on top. Very little water was actually getting through. Her gutters were totally clogged with some of the finest mulch I've ever seen! In addition to that, the mesh actually served as a lovely hanging garden of Babylon inside of the gutter. I was literally scooping out handfuls of the stuff along with sheets of moss. Thanks for the great info.

I’ve had the sponge in my gutter for several years with no clogs, not problems. I do have to knock a layer of dry leaves off the top each year or so, but that’s much easier than digging out the whole gutter.

I've used the white plastic with holes, not the most durable, but they worked really well. The way you tested it had it angled down 45 degrees, so of course the water is going to pour right off. If you keep it closer to the 5ish degrees it would actually sit on a gutter, it would perform a lot different than shown.

I installed gutter stuff 3 years ago and it works for my needs. All it needs to do is allow leaves and stuff to blow away instead of settling into the gutter and to let water flow through, all of which it does well. I removed it once in the Summer, let it dry, shook out the sand and other particle debris that gets into the foam and put it right back in. I recently pulled it out with the intent to replace it with new stuff, but guess what? It looks fine! I'm going to put it right back. Cheap and DIY.

Leaves and debris being in gutters matters less if you keep your downspouts from clogging at the top. Use large downspouts and even wider downspout openings in a funnel shape where it attaches to the gutter which is where most clogs happen. Keep that water flowing right there and heavy downpours will flush a lot of leaves and debris right down. A lot of leaves will remain but water will usually keep flowing enough and avoid overflows.

I showed numerous guys I work with your videos. They all laughed and agreed what you are talking about in all your videos. Great Job

[chuckkennedy]

I’ve been doing gutters for more than 25 years. This is a great video! Don’t waste your money on this stuff! AND keep it out of landfills! Add micro mesh to the list

[indimusiq]

@DmitryLipinskiy I absolutely love that you appear to be sharing your honest professional/ personal opinions on best/ worst products! I appreciate your videos not only because they're useful.. I actually believe you. You have no dog in the race! You seem to genuinely want to help others. thank you!

[oejldrp]

Thank you for telling it like it is :)) Home improvements should equal less work, not more !! Your information is very much appreciated.

I installed the sponge types and they appeared to be working great. They've been up for about 4 years and I always see the water draining out the drain pipe during heavy rains. After watching this I thought I would do a test. So I got up to the lower level gutters and poured a large quantity of water into it very quickly. The water went right through even though there was quite a few pine needles on top. No water back up whatsoever and the water drained right out the bottom spout. I'll check them every year but for now it appears to be working. I would suggest doing such a test before ripping them all out.

I’ve had the Lowe’s $2.10 a section for 18 years, with no issues……installed them myself 195 plus feet……took my time, and I’m very pleased with their products and protection…..

[annasoucek]

I like the gutterstuff, . I installed half the gutters this summer and liked so going to finish the rest of it.

[TheMeanAdmin]

Isn't the gutter guard installed horizontally? Why put it at 30-45° for demonstration of functionality o_O?

[davidguy]

The sponge actually looked like it was working. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[alaysiakayebutler]

I really appreciate your sensibility, and all the forethought that was put into this demonstration. Im a 58 yr old Grammy, first time ever, Im getting ready to clean gutters.

[TheMidnitegolfer]

I feel like this video could have been about five minutes long.

[gordonbickel]

This is so true statement on these gutter systems I have brought the sponge system and it last about 8 years. Two time yearly cleaning and clogged with pine needles and and roofing materials. The brush
system is exactly as stated . I had
friend had the same problem as stated.

[MrDavidelliottjr]

My gutter stuff are still doing good after over a year n a half. So far so good.

[arzellastarkey]
