Tools and Hardware Reviews of Weed Eater GA2010 Gutter Cleaning Blower Attachment
Customer Review: My Husband Loves It!
Summary: 4 Stars
My dad mentioned that there was an apparatus for a leaf blower to clean gutters. We went on a search to the "box stores" (Home Depot, Menard, etc.) to find this item, but we were told they did not carry this. So, I searched online and found it on Amazon.com. My husband loves it! He attached it to our Weed Eater Barracuda leaf blower and now he can easily clean the gutters (on our single-story ranch style house) standing on the ground rather than balancing precariously on a ladder. This item saves time and is much safer! We have a lot of leaves, seeds, etc in our gutters (5 mature trees on less than a 1/4 acre lot). So, we are very happy that this item was available and works so well.Customer Review: Nice accessory but you may need a blower that fits or be handy that way.

This is a great product because the sections screw together and will not come apart and fall on your head. This is especially important if you put two sets together for the second floor gutter. The button-held-oval blower fitting works really great for either one of the two Wead Eater-Poulan electric blowers with the button that weighs less than five pounds. Together with the attachment, weighs less than 10 pounds.
The bottom pipe section rotates but snaps together tightly and will not come apart. The same goes for the blower fittings (you get only two) that connect to that same elbow. The Weadeater-Poulan blower connects nice and snug but would be even nicer if they put the rocker switch up on/near your hand on the handle, where it would be easier to hold everything while you put it on/off. If you are handy like me, you can do this yourself some evening with crimper/blade connectors and shrink tubing or vinyl tape, and some precision plastic trimming with a knife and mini-hacksaw.
If gutters haven't been cleaned in a long long time, and the leaves are caked in solid, you may have to go up and scrape the gutters to the bottom, or try to do that with the blower endpiece from the ground, which may be more trouble than it's worth.
Customer Review: No adapter

I bought a Weedeater featherlite FB25 blower to use with this gutter cleaning kit, and it will not work with it. All of the adapters are made for another type of tube, and will not work on this blower. The FB25 needs to be added to the list of blowers with which this will not work.Customer Review: Not Worth the Money
Summary: 1 Stars
While it was fairly simple to put together, using it is another story. It was very unstable once on the blower and the power on. I tried to steady it while the blower was on, but it is too hard to try and hold this contraption and the blower at the same time. I even tried to take off the extensions and use it on a ladder (effectively defeating the purpose of purchasing this), but that too proved too cumbersome. I would discourage others from buying this.Customer Review: Not for "All" Situations

I purshased this product for the sole purpose of removing pine needles from my gutters. It is a well made product that fit correctly to my gas powered blower. It may work well for large leaf debris in your gutters; but it does not remove pine needles. The large and forcefull ammount of air at the delivery nozzle simply blows around the pine needles! It will be up for sale at my next garage sale.
