well, going by the threads on here, they must work!

like with windows, some dont come up well with WFP, there will always be some gutters that need a bit more than a vac to move it!

yes they do work but here is the exception pine needles AAAAGGH!!for pine needles get the ladders of its quicker. as for tiles over the gutter many users have a crevice head for this.

ok so its like wfp , you find ways to do it
Is it mainly because its safer or is it quicker, as i find gutter cleaning off a ladder 99% of the time easy

Well if the house is near any trees with pine needles, you have to price accordingly.

But back to the question, has anyone ever canvassed for the service??
