2.0 out of 5 stars Made in china quality, doesn't do the job, September 22, 2010

This stuff was very disappointing for me.

I ended up with 2 types of rolls that are labeled the same- half made in the US, half from china. The stuff from china is much thinner and lower quality- it weighs about half as much as the stuff from the US and looks much more likely to sag. I assume they're moving their manufacturing to China, so if you order now you're likely getting the cheap stuff.

Second, if you bend it into the gutter as directed then leaves will be trapped between the house and the gutter guard, so water will flow back under the shingles and into the house. Seems like a great way to ruin your house.

To make up for this, I tried to install the stuff up under the shingles but the edges are very rough so that is hard to do. Also, it sags in the middle if you do it this way.

I am going to return this and try again with amerimax gutter guard, which looks better designed. Hopefully second time is a charm.

We live in out in the country surrounded by birch trees where clogged gutters are a fact of life. Had nothing to lose in trying it out and had the whole house done with 8 rolls (less than $20 and your time- bargain!). Relatively easy to insert - only down side is that the mesh needs to be cut in places to get around nails and other gutter fastenings. Some residual leaves get caught in the mesh, but not enough to make this product useless. Most blow away. The gutters are clear and functional without any maintainence in 2 years !!!!

Great deal, cheapest I could find anywhere. Well pleased with these gutter guards. Not the easiest to install, but will work good for a few years. Anything plastic will not hold up in the elements for many years, but the price will get me by for a few years. Installed with a metal roof. No tools needed other than some scissors to cut a few places where the guard would not slide under the roof line.
