Tools and Hardware Reviews of Weed Eater GA2010 Gutter Cleaning Blower Attachment
Customer Review: Design is flawed - doesn't fit as described, thus useless
Summary: 2 Stars
The connector piece that fits to the blower doesn't allow the tubes to lock to it. Thus it comes off when the blower is turned on. The elbow takes all the air and pulls the tubing off. The semi-curved gutter extension is also a bad design. It points straight into the gutter and tends to blow leaves all over. The old designed tubing had a gutter extension that rotated and you could move it about to control the direction it blew the leaves. I purchased the WEB150 blower and the ad for the gutter extension tubes clearly stated this accessory would fit it. I jury rigged the tubing to slide down the long portion of the blower tube that came with the blower, but since it's an oval and not a truly round tube like the gutter extension is it works loose after a while and it also loses air because the tubes don't match up in shape.
In the end it was a losy purchase on my part. A wasted $39. I'll be looking for another brand blower and gutter extension in the spring.
Customer Review: Dissatisfied
Summary: 1 Stars
I am really unhappy with this product. My goal was to clean the gutters without climbing up high on an extension ladder. This item seemed to fit the bill, but it did not. I read in a couple of reviews that you will get dirty. That was fine with me. But I was not prepared to have huge chunks of muck hit me in the face. Safety goggles were not nearly enough protection for my eyes. I also just expected that the waste from the gutter would be blown out of the gutter to the ground. I didn't expect a significant amount of waste from the gutter to be blown up onto the roof behind the gutter. Seems obvious that would happen in hindsight, but I didn't realize it would happen. And worst of all, I was not able to complete the task. Because of a slight slope in my property, I was not able to reach some of the gutters with this attachment with my 8 foot stepladder. I had pre-measured and, at first, it seemed a feasible reach from the top rung. But I didn't realize that there would be enough torque to make it too unsafe to be standing on the top rung. So, this experiment was a total disaster. For those who might want to benefit from my mistake, I found that the "Gutter Sense" tool was a successful solution. With the "Gutter Sense," I also had to buy a suitably long extension pole and add some rope (so I could reach the second story gutters) - now the gutters get clean and I don't climb on any ladders at all.Customer Review: Do not buy it
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product a week ago with the hope it would work as it was shown in its ad, but it did not. First of all it is very hard to hook it up with any kind/make of blower. I had a gas blower and an electric blower. It did not fit with any one of those. Then I bought a third one from Lowe's and somehow connected with it but it did not do the job. My experience is that the blower does not handle the weight of pipes when air is blowing thru it. It simply knocks the pipes down from elbow. I tried my best to make it work but it did not.
I would say its not worth spending money on it. If any one gives me suggestion how it works, I would appreciate it. I have one TORO and one Black & Decker electric blower and one gas blower.
Customer Review: Does not fit Echo blower
Summary: 3 Stars
This blower attachment does not fit the Echo gas blower. The tube is too small a diameter to fit in the blower outlet. I had to glue a rubber mat around the tube to increase the outside diameter to get it to shove into the blower outlet and stay there.Customer Review: Does not fit Ryobi or Black & Decker
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
