50 each: Amerimax Gutter Guard (85470)

Easy to install and works good

These gutter guards work very well, and are relatively easy for a DIY-er to install. The only reason I gave a 4-Star instead of 5 rating is that the label on each piece is very difficult to remove cleanly. I finally came up with a removal procedure that worked for me — I rubbed a rag soaked with paint thinner on the backside of the piece where label is located; let it sit for a minute or so; then carefully peeled off the label. The manufacturer should find a different label adhesive!!One criticism I read in a few reviews was that water from heavy rain storms flowed over the edge of the gutter. This has not happened with my installation. I suspect the folks who observed this problem have installed their guards upside down — the outside edge that clips on to the gutter must be installed with the high side up. This forms a small baffle that directs the water back and through the openings into the gutter.In my opinion this gutter guard design is the most cost-effective solution to keep leaves and most debris out of your gutter.

These things are so easy to install. You just clamp them in. I had something very similar at my last house and they worked super. These have been on for a few weeks in the fall leaves and rain and working great so far. It only took us a couple hours to install about 40 of them. It would have been faster but we were cleaning the gutters as we went along. I overlapped them by notching about an inch of the clip on part. Cutting the notches was the slowest part. Highly recommend. I also liked the pack of 50. Most people are installing a bunch at a time. Price was good.

I was attempting to replace an older version of these which had an additional mesh on top, they were very effective at keeping the small leaves and pods out. These DO NOT have a mesh covering, it is just a plastic grid. To return, I have to pay for return shipping that will run 25% of total cost AND alert them of the tracking number. Not typical for an Amazon vendor, look elsewhere.

These are great and I have trees on all four sides. I bought some from Lowe's 10 years ago for a section of my roof and have never had problems. Seven years ago I had a metal roof installed and thought instead of cutting them to make them fit I should look at something else. I bought Gutter Stuff for a different area five years ago. That collects pine needles and seeds. I have to go clean them off or things start to grow. I replaced the entire house with these Gutter Guards. I did not even have to cut them precise to fit under the metal roof. I have never had a problem with these.

The holes in the guard are just the perfect size to catch sugar maple keys. This results in every hole becoming a home for a maple key then causing a traffic jam for every other key and leaf from the roof. The only way to remove the keys is one-by-one, removing all the guards, or by knocking off the wings and letting the seeds clog the gutter system. The only way to successfully keep the seeds from clogging the gutter system is by totally removing the guards every spring before trying to remove the keys.

I had these guards at my last house and they worked very well. We lived there for almost 10 years and had no significant issues with them. They did the job overall. Maybe a few times I had to go up on the roof to deal with a minor issue over all of those years, but usually I was up there anyway hanging the Xmas lights. For the money, you can't beat these which is why I bought them again for our new house we recently purchased. Took me about two hours to install 40 of them and half the time was just going up and down the ladder. It was very easy to slide the back edge under the shingles and snap the front edge into place on the gutter.

Returned and had professionally installed leaf filters but bought some of these in the past and they lasted quite a while. Just don't make the mistake I did and put the screen on the bottom. Found out 6 or 7 years after I installed them that the screen goes on top. Even so, they were an economical DIY solution and the best option if doing yourself. I'm a girl and installed them on all of my gutters on quite a lot of gutters and they are so easy to install.
