We had the rainiest fall on record in Phoenix. Installed 11 gutter sticks to keeps the leaves and debris away from the gutter drains. These Gutter Sticks allow the water to keep flowing and they’re working flawlessly. Now all the leaves from my neighbor’s house aren’t causing my gutter drains to clog. Bought one more on Amazon for my Shedd. Let it rain! Thank you Gutter Stick! 👍💥

This is a good design to extend the time between gutter cleaning, but if you live around deciduous trees, you will still have to clean your gutters once or twice a year. If you have gutter straps to install under, too much effort for a marginal improvement over a screen insert. I have tract home basic 4" gutters, adjusting for gutter width is no big deal. cut / snap off a scored long section of the base plate. However, , I also have low gutter straps. This won't fit under them without modification: 1. reduce (cut off) the depth of the part that goes into the downspout 2. take it apart and cut out the top of gutter stick where it has to fit under the gutter strap. Maybe no big deal if you are working from above the gutter, but my gutters are higher than I can reach on my ladder, so I am working blind above my head. I returned it.

I installed one Gutter Stick on the house's gutter and one on the garage's gutter. The rectangular base was flemsy and won't stay flush with the bottom of the gutter without using glue or adhesive. Gutter Stick may keep debris out of the downspout but it also reduces the drainage rate of the water which caused my gutters to overflow after just a few minutes of rain. I decided to get rid of the Gutter Sticks and install leaf guards from Amerimax Home Products instead. I should have done that in the first place. For less than the price of 2 Gutter Sticks, you can keep debris completely out of your gutters.

Had to return have very old gutters that are not deep and these did not fit right into the gutter. they appear to be a great item that would help people with newer gutters. I gave 3 stars because I could not use but do not think it is a bad item. I think it would be a very valuable item for many gutters from preventing drainage.
