Review on ๐Ÿงน Shop-Vac 9067900 Right Angle Brush Nozzle - Black Plastic Construction, 2-1/2 Inch Diameter Sleeve, 1-Pack by Trisha Hunter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Vacuum really worked for me (YMMV)

I use a 6.5 HP wet/dry vacuum. (16 gallons) on a single story ranch. I was sure this thing would clog once I started sucking. It's not like this. I went over 100ft of gully and it only clogged twice (due to some branches). I pulled up the ladder to see how it worked and was amazed at how clean it was. I had to take a picture. Some thoughts: - Wearing sticky rubber gloves will help you hold the hose. In addition to my straight vacuum cleaner hose and this I had plenty of room to grab. - You need to slow it down a bit and go through the same section twice. Once for a coarse pass and then for a fine pass to remove residue. I had a gutter section where the shingles overlapped too much for the end of the hose to go through. So I switched to a blower instead and put in a small nozzle and blew material out of that section. Then he proceeded to vacuum the rest of the gutter. The ends stayed throughout the blowing time (rather than sucking). This is also an effective method; enough force to push everything out. I have used a similar product hooked up to a leaf blower but it gets very dirty especially when there is water in the gutter. It blows on you and the whole house. - YMMV depending on the height of your gutters, the horsepower of your wet/dry vacuum and the things in your gutters. I know we're talking about plastic tubing here, but I've spent many hours looking for an efficient and easy way to get the job done (same for leaf raking). If there was a mirror at the top (possibly removable) it would be very handy to see what's going on there.
