iRobot,the folks that ship the vacuum cleaner Roomba, just announced something that i have been waiting for. It's called the Looj and it cleans gutters by remote control. Really.
The base unit is $99 and sits in the gutter with a couple of treads at the bottom and whirly thing in the front. You place it in the gutter and use the wireless remote to run it down the length of your roof (and back). It plows through the junk and throws it over the side (not crazy about that part).
Here's a video of Colin Angle, co-founder and CEO of iRobot, demonstrating the Looj:
I have sections of my roof that are very high, above uneven ground. One section is right under the power line to the house. I am seriously not interested in climbing the roof anymore and sprawling down to scoop out my gutters from above, or climb the ladder from below.
I haven't tried this yet but I will. Stay tuned. Hopefully it will end up at Lowe's!
