Too bad the battery is so small. it will only last 30 to 45 in. Take a look. iRobot - Robots: Gutter Cleaning: NEW! iRobot Looj™ 150 Gutter Cleaning Robot

I just looked at an electronic review about this thing...it said the battery takes 10-15 hours to charge...may be a very cool tool once the battery is perfected. I would love to see a commercial version that could take a lickin' and keep on tickin'...

[One Tough Pressure]

If you really thought it was a viable tool, then just buy extra batteries. That long charge time is when run down completely, so if you were to charge between jobs and have an extra battery or two, then no problems, as long as it would hold up to heavy use.

Wow! That Irobot looks like lots of fun!
I could sell my violator, the RC-10s, the savage, duratrax, Mini-t's, and even some of the others... Go to work and play w Irobot and tell my wife I was working all day!

Now, if I can just get clients to pay for me to bring Irobot to their homes...

Problem with the batteries is that they are NiCad and unless you completely run them down, they develop a memory and shorten the charge life.
Buy several of the batteries and a few chargers and set em up in the vehicle with a power inverter to supply the continuous charging.

I hate doing gutters and the market has been low-balled to the point that one cannot make any money at it.

I can not believe that it would be anything more than a toy. It does not look like it does much of a job in the video. The company that is promoting it has done a great job in creating internet Buzz about it.

[David O'Connell Jr.]

Not to mention that the video I saw had a dry gutter with no mud in it.

[James B.]

Those were definitely not clean gutters in my book.

Its not quite there yet. But very cool idea.

[CleanPortland]

I can see how this is a good concept but by the time you set it up, clean up the mess and pull it out and take it to the next gutter I'm not sure that there will be too much time savings. We us the "Gutter Cleaner" Spoons on poles to pull all the debri to us and pull it out. saves a ton of time and clean up the mess as we move the ladder every twenty feet. Works well for us.
