I have them as you know. They work well. In 7 or 8 years we've never had a problem and have never had to clean our gutters. I highly recommend them.

If you have them installed, make sure the installer puts the edge under the last shingle, not on top of it.

One day my wife called me from the van to say she had run over something in the road and she was worried some serious damage had occured. I rushed over from work. Well after a few minutes of work, I extricated the object with no damage to the van. What was the object made of aluminum, plexiglass wood and shingles? It was the gutter hemet display from the local mall!

As I said in the other post our quote was five or six grand. For that money I could replace all the guttes and downspouts. We opted for a different solution.

I have heard they don't work well against pine needles, which is what we have. Anyone have a different experience?

I highly recommend them! Until I had them installed, my gutters would fill up with oak leaves and pecan leaves every year. Had to buy a tall ladder to reach them for cleaning. With the gutter guards I have never had a problem in 8 years. These are plastic, and they slide under the shingles and snap onto the gutter. The design has improved over time. These have endured some high winds... so they are stable and reliable...
