Dealmonger: iRobot Looj Gutter-Cleaning Robot $70

By Nick Carter

The iRobot store is selling their Looj gutter-cleaning robot for $70.  Based on the comments we got on this one, it definitely doesn’t work on all gutters;  but if it works on yours, it could turn the chore of gutter-cleaning into a pleasant and easy experience — certainly well worth the price.

    Every review I read said these were terrible and owners wouldn’t purchase it again. Buyer beware, the price is still high.

    Let’s just cut to the chase and get this out there:

    This thing is a piece of shit.

    Don’t waste your money on it at any price.

    Don’t waste your time on it if you get it for free.

    If someone gives you one, return it and get something that doesn’t suck.

    @John Laur: Bravo! (And no, I’m not being sarcastic.) This is why I love TM readers — they’re a no-bullshit bunch that are happy to call out something they’ve had a bad experience with. Thanks for the tip!

    Or … for the $70 you can easily buy some high quality gutter covers and never have to clean your gutters at all.

    Brau, I don’t know where you think you can get “high quality” gutter covers for $70…

    I could certainly buy some crappy ones for $70, which will mostly work fine for leaves, but if you have pine needles then they’re not worth a damn and you’re better off cleaning them a few times a year.

    Our gutters also get hickory nuts in them plus have lots of angles. Seems just as easy to just clean them by hand.

    I find demo videos like this very insulting to my intelligence. You’ll need a very powerful vacuum to get all the wet leaves and twigs out of my gutters. Still the best way is a $3-4 plastic gutter scoop and some manual labor.
