Leaf Filter is a SCAM!!! They carefully pick their words in their ads to dupe you into thinking that, once installed, you will never again have to climb a ladder or do anything to your gutters. That couldn't be further from the truth! WHAT THEY CLAIM: "Keep your gutters clear year around", "Clog Free Gutters" & "You'll Never Have to Climb a Ladder Again to Remove Leaves from Your Gutter" WHAT THEY MEAN: The screen covering they add to the top of your gutters will stop debris from getting INSIDE your gutter. Key word being INSIDE. WHAT THAT *REALLY* MEANS: Countless times a year, the screen Leaf Filter places on top of your existing rain gutter will get covered with leaves and other debris, causing the rainwater to roll over the top of the leaves/debris and right down on to the ground, like a waterfall!!! (I am including photos of how little debris it takes to make the rain gutters overflow with Leaf Filter. What you see in the photos is what I have to deal with after every windy day, at each of the roof's Valley Flashing, or face waterfalls the next time it rains. (This is in addition to the numerous uncloggings necessary in the fall, when leaves are dropping) So much for never having to climb on my ladder anymore, huh Leaf Filter?!? I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with Leaf Filter!!! Previously, I had those "gutter brushes" in my rain gutters. They worked far better than Leaf Filter. I foolishly switched because my rain gutters needed some leveling work, etc. and I thought that installing Leaf Filter would address that and my leaves/debris that clog my gutters. DISCLAIMER: I do NOT work for any of the "gutter brush" companies, I never have, and I have not/am not receiving any compensation or product for recommending them instead of Leaf Filter. I also will not recommend any particular brand of gutter brushes. I will only recommend that you research "stainless steel gutter brush" and go from there. They actually do block the debris from getting into the rain gutter and, UNLIKE Leaf Filter, will make it so you no longer have to climb a ladder to deal with the leaves. The leaves will stop behind the top of the brush, on the roof side, and you can use a Leaf Rake (from the ground) to pull the leaves over the brush onto the ground when they build up. Gutter Brushes also cost FAR LESS than Leaf Filter. Getting back to Leaf Filter, IN MY OPINION, they are VERY overpriced, the salesmen use high pressure tactics, their customer service sucks, and the product just is on the verge of TERRIBLE!!! read more
