The company is fair

The product sucks but the company is great. They contacted me and told them about the product and they treated me right. Extension cords do not fully open even in heavy rain.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Upgradable

Don't turn off the water

We've had 3 heavy rains since they were installed. All three times the rain was over 2 inches. All three times I had to go outside, manually turn the drain and drain the water. Rain never caused the sewers to turn over. It rained so much today that the drain pipe burst. Doesn't work as described.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Not bad

They work great. - Gutters

During the first installation I didn't tighten the cable tie enough and the extension broke off the downspout. I reinstalled it and it worked the second time. I had to remove the clamp from the end of the roll (it just slides off with little effort) because although we don't get rain here when I arrive, it comes quickly and in large quantities. The holes punched in the material didn't let the water through quickly enough, and the water rushed down the drainpipe. After removing the clamp, letโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some imperfections

Works exactly as described!

I installed this downpipe extension about 2 months ago. But I've been waiting to write this review as we haven't had much rain in my area (South Florida) until recently. As shown in the video, the unit worked as described - fully retractable and distributing water to the sides. I decided to remove the plastic clip on the end of the extension cord as we've had a couple of heavy showers lately. I've installed four of these extensions throughout my home and have been very happy with theirโ€ฆ

Pros
  • certified

  • empty

Not what I expected

I had a round gutter that I attached it to. It's attached, the hole is huge so for those wondering if it will fit. yes, that will fit. I used tape and attached it. When it rained, the product did not unwind. Instead, the water formed a loop in the drain pipe and flowed out exactly where the water was supposed to drain. Maybe my drain was too LOW so the water couldn't pool and reach critical mass enough to push and rotate the pipe. I see other reviews on here complaining that it's not longโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Appearance

didn't work for me in Gutters

I'll bet on that. The photos show the connection about two feet off the ground. Due to the terrain at the lower gully, I ended up needing a few more meters. The drain pipe was about 3 feet horizontal with a slope of about 1 foot and ended at the grass line. The problem was that the head pressure couldn't get high enough to deploy the extension. I have a hinge at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical so I can lift the horizontal part out of the bevel. The lack of a head to unwind theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write later
