You can't see, but then again the custard can't see either, so you're quits, or rather you have the cash and they have got a sort of done job.  Everyone's happy.

Hmmm that's not the answer I was quite looking for. How do you know if you have sucked up that piece of dirt/brick that causes an overflow when you have left the job, this being the reason they called you in the first place for, do people use camera's on a pole or run up a ladder to check their work is good ? when searching for gutter vac's I don't see options for these accessories

If someone is calling you for blocked gutters then you are a fool if you rely on a gutter vac to cure the problem. To clear any blockage you will need to do a survey and identify the problem, its no good vaccing along a clear gutter when the downspout has a blockage. Like anything, a gutter vac is a usefull tool, its not a cure all. And also note, if you knock anything off whilst poking about up there then you will be getting up to put it right or employing a roofer/builder too, whilst you watch him with your cam !!!
