iRobot Looj Gutter Cleaning Robot

Product Description

The iRobot Looj 330 Gutter Cleaning Robot blasts away leaves, dirt and clogs while brushing gutters clean. Featuring a high-velocity, four-stage auger and CLEAN mode, Looj travels down your gutter on its own, sensing and adapting to debris in order to provide the most effective cleaning. Spinning at 500 RPM, the high-velocity, four-stage auger breaks apart clogs, then lifts and throws them away from your roof as sweepers and a scraper clear the remaining debris. Looj 330 performs a difficult and uncomfortable job for you, cleaning up to a 30-foot section of gutter in 5 minutes and up to 200 linear feet per charge. The remote control lets you drive the robot further along the gutter than previous generations.

Features

• Two Operational Modes: Simple One-Button CLEAN Mode and Manual Mode: Use Looj 330 in either manual mode or automatic CLEAN mode. Manual mode allows you to control the robot. In CLEAN mode, just push the CLEAN button and Looj travels down your gutter on its own, sensing and adapting to debris to provide the most effective cleaning.
• Four-Stage Auger With Suite Of Auger Parts: The included four-stage auger is made up of the breaker, ejectors, breaker bars and sturdy polypropylene sweepers. Another set of smaller, more compact ejectors is also included.
• Lithium Ion Battery: This battery technology equips Looj with a strong power source.
• Increased Range With Remote Control Handle: The detachable handle is also the remote control, giving you complete forward and reverse control of the robot as well as automatic CLEAN mode selection. You can also control the spin direction of the auger. This wireless controller has an improved communication range of up to 50'.
• Low Profile Design: More compact than previous Looj models, now at just under 2" high and 3" wide, Looj is able to fit in more gutters, including most K-style aluminum, copper, metal or vinyl gutters.
• Waterproof Design*: Wet leaves are often the biggest culprit in clogged gutters. Looj was designed to operate in the wet environment of gutters. This also makes for a quick clean-up - simply spray Looj with a hose when done.
• Slip-Resistant Rubber Handle: Keep both hands on the ladder. Slip-resistant rubber handle allows for safer robot handling.
• Belt Clip: Looj comes with a belt clip to provide hands-free carrying. The belt clip keeps Looj away from hands and legs, making ladder climbing safer.

Effective Cleaning with the Entertainment Value of a Radio Controlled Car
by Anthony Galzarano (5 out of 5 stars)

First, let's be realistic. If you are lazy enough to allow your gutters to become packed with pine needles that have partially mulched into soil then take the lazy man's way out by buying a little robot with floppy rubber blades that you think you can let go and automatically clean the gutters while you chug a brew and watch from a lawn chair you are courting disappointment. That was me. I did the front of the house, being sprayed with debris (my fault) and having my car sprayed with debris (also my fault) and getting frustrated by Looj's inability to muscle through dense, wet long white pine needles without flipping over and riding up on the needles, consequently getting stuck under the fasteners. I eneded up doing some of it by hand. I took a break and the next day, did the much less densely packed back gutter. The Looj made short work of it on automatic, although even at 8 feet away I was pelted by the odd piece of debris. The shorter back gutter caused the Looj and me to bond. Instead of automatic, I used the manual method. The needles were tightly packed and did not want to give way. Little Looj and I did it! It took about 5 times as long as it would have by hand, but it was much more entertaining. Based on my experience with the loosely packed back gutter, I think it will be great for preventative maintenance. Depending on the season, I plan on letting Looj loose anywhere from once a month to once a week on automatic which is really the "robot" setting. The manual controls make it more of a power tool, but with the entertainment value of a radio controlled car. Like my Roomba 830 and my Braava 380t, I love my Looj.

Don't waste your money if this thing works for you then your gutters didn't really need to be cleaned, battery doesn't even last long enough to get 20' of gutters cleaned.

Epic Fail!!!
by OPZ (1 out of 5 stars)

Had really high hopes for this machine.... I own several Roomba vacuum bots and love gadgets that can make life a little easier. The Looj is not one of them. First off, the battery takes forever to charge. Next, I deployed the Looj on a tricky first mission. I had a 3rd floor gutter that was not draining. I could visually see that the downspouts were jammed with debris. Since the roof is steep on the third level, I thought this would be a good job for the Looj. Since I couldn't walk out or climb up to the gutters, I placed the Looj on the roof and guided it down with an extension pole. It dropped right in. I started the Clean mode and off it went spraying leaves and other debris. But then, 2 feet down the line, it started having problems, it was backing up and moving forward. It did this a few times but then ultimately died. I didn't really see anything blocking it. Luckily, I had a string attached to the back but even then, I had trouble yanking it back. I had to use the extension pole and dig it out of the gutter.

Not wanting to give up, I tried it on my garage gutters which I could reach with a 7 foot ladder. I cleaned out a lot of the debris by hand near the downspout that was jammed up. There was still a bunch of wet leaves in the gutter. Deployed the Looj. It was chugging along, not much was getting ejected (because there really wasn't much in there after I had cleared the downspout), but then halfway down (say 6 feet), it died again!! No, it didn't get turned on its side or upside down. It just went into red LED mode. I already had the ladder out so I repositioned and rescued the Looj (again!). I looked down the gutter and saw some granules of the asphalt shingles, nothing that should cause the Looj to stop.

Anyways, long story short, my 3rd floor gutters are still clogged and I ended up cleaning my garage gutters out by hand.

Only good in lightly clogged gutters. No replacement parts available.
by Terrance J Alexander (3 out of 5 stars)

Does the job only for lightly clogged gutters. For heavy clogs, you will have to go by hand, its a lot faster. But the machine is able to cover one side of the house while you clean the worse sides. Another downside is the parts are not durable or replaceable. You will have to order a whole new machine if your bristles or flaps get worn out....

i will keep my review as professional as possible, rugger contruction and does not feel cheap, this thing is so cool and impressive but not practical, the robit gets stuck and flips way too often and stops by itself, i tried it on a gutter that didnt even have a lot of debris and it still fliped, the idea is great but the results are not impressive, robot has been returned and i will wait untill it is a little more improved

Hard working gutter cleaning!
by bookabsorbed (5 out of 5 stars)

This gutter robot is so funny to watch it clean the gutters. It flips and beats sending the debris flying into the air. Perfect for eliminating getting on the roof and hanging over the edge to get all of the old leaves out after a long winter. Highly recommend.

if you're gutters are super full it wont work at all
by stivo (3 out of 5 stars)

if you're gutters are super full it wont work at all. it just turned around and around and made a horrible mess. i'm guessing it would work well if you did it at least once a quarter in an area with a lot of trees.

Worked on my multi-story row home and saved me a few hundred bucks
by BadKarma (5 out of 5 stars)

We live in a tall, 4 story row home (4th story is an unfinished attic with dormer windows that looks down onto the mansard roof). The gutter facing our alley was clogged with something, causing water to overflow. I wanted to hire a gutter cleaning service but figured it would be a 15 minute job and most of the cost would be for someone to climb that high (would a 40ft ladder even reach?)

So I found this on sale and decided to give it a try. Cheaper than hiring someone. Only problem is I can't exactly reach the gutter from the attic windows. Luckily the robot has a sturdy loop on the back you can tie a rope to, so I used an old mop handle (also with a loop) and some twine to create a way for me to gently lower the robot into the gutter and retrieve it if it got stuck.

I charged the battery overnight. Assembly was easy. Instructions are straightforward. It's smaller and lighter than it looks. It has both a manual and automatic mode (I used manual).

It has one flaw I would take away a 1/2 star for if I could: It may be the shape of our copper, rounded bottom gutters, but the robot would basically move forward a few inches, roll over, move back. I realized that I could manually change the tread direction when it flipped to keep it inching towards the blockage. Still, it would be nice if it automatically switched tread directions when it flipped over so it always moved in the expected direction.

The gutter was full of 1-2 inches of standing water, and the robot happily sputtered along, kicking up a holy mess of water along the way. Finally it reached a chunk of leaves and other debris which were caught on the end of what looked like a metal rod. It flung the debris out of the gutter and everything quickly drained. Success!

I would have been happy there, but noted that the large, flexible rubber paddles were grippy enough to catch the metal rod also. After some manual back and forth, switching the direction of the treads and rotation of the auger, it finally caught and spit out the metal rod, which fell to the alley 3 stories below and - upon inspection - turned out to be a piece of probably some old TV antenna on our roof (the house is 115 years old - who knows what's up there).

Anyway, I'm impressed. Not sure if I'll ever need to use it again, but very glad it worked! In multi-story homes, it can apparently cost $200-$500 to get gutters cleaned. If that's true, this saved me a good chunk of money.

Works like a charm. Not entirely remote. Still needs some supervision
