AMERIMAX HOME PRODUCTS 85320 4-Feet White Gutter Cover

First off, this stuff actually works pretty well. I put about 30ft of it on the back of the house on the side close to the woods, and it seems to work great so far. It hasn't had to take on a really heavy rain yet, but it handled everything so far without any rain overshooting the gutter. I won't, however, be using it for the rest of the house. It's just too !#$% hard to put up. The same company makes a cheaper version with holes in the top and a mesh screen to block out most stuff...I put the cheaper version up on the section over the garage, and I can't tell that the cheaper stuff works any worse. The problem with this solid top style gutter cover is the way it attaches. To get it to clip on, you have to press down to get the bottom lip under the edge of the gutter. When you do that though, the rolled part on the top tries to close off the channel where the water goes in which is the only spot to get a grip on it except at the edges. I also found the 4ft length to be just a bit long to easily work with. All this may not seem like such a problem looking at it from the ground, but from the top of a ladder it's just a tad troublesome. I ran through my entire repertoire a couple times and finally had to start inventing new swear words while putting this stuff on. I never did get it all to click in place like it was supposed to- lets hope it stays put. Having installed both types, I can tell you the cheaper version doesn't have this problem. While the cheap stuff probably isn't as effective and the mesh part probably won't last, it is much easier to install.To distill this review down, yes this gutter guard works as advertised, but I'd seriously consider something else.

I've now ordered my third batch of these gutter guards. We live in a densely wooded neighborhood with tall oaks and tulip trees dropping plenty of leaves, acorns and whatever on our house. These gutter guards are the only thing that keep our gutters functional through the course of the year. We've had screens, which were never effective. These are easy to install, easy to trim, and definitely do the job. It's still worth opening them up and cleaning things out once a year or maybe every two, but without these we're completely backed up with leaves in just a few weeks. The trick is to get them up under that bottom layer of shingles so that leaves just get washed right off without getting stuck. If you don't have enough downward slope from the edge of your shingles to the outer rim of your gutters, you may potentially have trouble with leaves collecting, but for the most part I'd expect you to have as good results as we've had here.

These covers work fairly well when new, but after a few years the platic will sag into the gutter due to the summer heat and winter cold. Then it becomes a trap for leave, etc., and then they become blocked causing all rain to overflow.

A little to big, but otherwise great.

Had this gutter cover installed for 4 years. It works for keeping the majority of big stuff out of the gutter, with one caveat - oak trees! The oak pollen tassels will roll with the water causing the drainage holes to block. Every year I have to get up on a ladder and unblock the holes. While it is easier that fully cleaning out the gutter, it is still a pita. I will be switching over to the micro-mess type of cover in the near future.

It’s not working the best in the location where I installed it. I think it might be too much water for it to handle because it goes right over and spills

This product didn't work for me. I just put up one piece as an experiment and ran water down the roof with a hose. It was no more water than what I would see in a medium rain. At least 50% of the water went over the edge of the gutter and this is with only a 5/12 pitch roof. I can't imagine what it would have been if I had had a steep sloped roof like you see so often these days. I returned everything.

Use these on the house since it was built Need more to replace the ones torn up when storms took down trees and tore up roof normally pay almost twice as much great deal at the right time
