iRobot 12101 Looj Electric Gutter Cleaning Robot Reviews
It could use a few engineering upgrades. It does clean out gutter as advertised. The product works alright. If your gutter is held on by the long nails at the top of the gutter, the antenna can get caught in them and sometimes the edge of the roof shingle too. The biggest drawback is it's antenna. Maybe the more expensive models have them.
It will, on occasion, flip over, but it always rights itself and continues on its way. Like anything else, it takes a little bit of patience to learn how to operate it.
The longest gutter I have is roughly 40 feet, and it usually has a certain amount of water under the leaves. It does a superb job of cleaning the gutters and ensures that I don't have to keep moving the ladder.
This is the second year I have used this nifty tool. One of my neighbors always comes over to watch this machine in action.
Once learned, it should work flawlessly unless, of course, there is something technically wrong with the unit. I don't understand some of the critical reviews of the Looj.
With very little effort, the Looj plows through the worst of it, throwing water, leaves and debris to the ground.
- try alternating auger rotation directions to break up the crud in the gutter. First the perspective: my gutters are cleaner after the looj than after I do them by hand so score one for the looj. tie a loop of it around the antenna so you can wiggle that if it gets stuck on something (my gutters are only just barely big enough for the looj so this happens to me a lot. So I have read the mix of good and bad reviews and was inspired to add a perspective and some hints. Second some hints:. - remember that string I mentioned. - there is a little loop on the back of the looj.tie a long piece of string to it so you can tug the looj back a little when it gets stuck or rides up on gunk.
The Looj wouldn't go one foot in one of our eaves before flipping up and over. It may have worked okay if all it encountered were leaves and if I cleaned the eaves more than once or twice a year. We live in a wooded area so our eaves are full of leaves, twigs, seeds, etc. : ( Big disappointment and a total waste of money for me. I followed all of the tips but to no avail.
