Tools and Hardware Reviews of Weed Eater GA2010 Gutter Cleaning Blower Attachment
Customer Review: Something that Works
Summary: 5 Stars
The gutter cleaning blower attachment really does work. You'll get dirty using it, but it does clean out the gutters effectively. Since I don't have a Weed Eater blower, I had to work a little harder to get the device to stay in place on the blower, but it wasn't that hard. I highly recommend it.Customer Review: Very useful tube extensions..also check out the Weedeater machine recommendation
Summary: 4 Stars
I have gutters are around 20 ft high, but not too long (75ft of total linear length) and these tube extensions are good to remove the pine needles and leaves off it. There were 2 sets of these that I bought in order to reach the 20 ft of height from the ground. Initially, the tubes were looking very easy to handle but that story changed after fitting the blower. THe blower actually creates a lot of back pressure on the exit nozzle making the whole apparatus difficult to hold and move. But it can be done if you hold the tubes at an angle leaning towards the direction of the cleaning. Or if you have a helper to hold the blower while you navigate the tube then that should help. This case is only because my gutters are high and I have used two sets of tubes. The first time you use this apparatus, you are probably going to hate it. But relax, it is better than moving your ladder very 5 ft or better than you falling from the roof.
I was initially worried about my existing blower fitting the tube opening, so instead of doing a workaround, I just purchased a weed eater blower (Weed Eater WEB160 7.5 amp 160 mph Electric Blower, available on Amazon, light weight, but only one speed) for around $37 and it fit like a snap. OR you can purchase the WEB150 blower for $29 in Walmart. The air speed of this blower is of the right force and it wont blow away the attachments due to excessive pressure by the other 200mph+ gas blowers.
Considering the amount of money I spend for cleaning my gutters ($80 x twice a year) this tool is very useful and I can clean my gutters as often as it clogs up. Try to clean the gutters a day before it rains and NOT when it is raining or when the leaves are wet.
Customer Review: Watch out!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this kit along with the Weed Eater EBV215 electric leaf blower. It fits on the blower great, clicks on and off. The tubes thread together or solidly click together. This is important as the blower puts out a lot of air and a less secure system could be literally blown apart. I can reach most of my gutters with this kit, only a few second story locations are too high and unreachable from anywhere. All first story gutters are quite within reach, even those that are really a story and a half. I may get another kit to add on, but that will make it a pretty unwieldy thing, as when you turn on the blower, at high speed, controlling the nozzle could become quite a challenge. All in all, I'm very happy with the kit and blower combination. I recommend wearing goggles, a hat and old clothes, maybe even a raincoat! It blows out even a wet layer of leaves and debris from the bottom of the gutter. My gutters had a lot of leaves and some sludge, but they had been cleaned thoroughly in July when we put on the new roof. It is now the first week of November. The house sits in the middle of woods, with trees especially close on the east side. The trees are maple, walnut, ash and oak, so the leaves fall at different times and had built up quite a bit. This blower and tube kit worked. It requires some handling and is sometimes very ungainly, but it still beats getting out the extension ladder, climbing up, clearing a 5 or 6 foot length, getting down, moving the ladder, climbing up..... As I said earlier, I am happy with my purchase.Customer Review: Weed Eater #GA2010 Rain Gutter Blower Attachment

Summary: 3 Stars
Challenging to assemble and attach to blower the first time; many extra parts for differenct models of blowers.
Once together it did the job. Pretty cumbersome with just two tubes hooked up. Can't imagine what it would be like to handle with all the tubes installed.
