In this video I check out the brand new 2020 Ego gutter cleaning attachment kit. This makes that dreaded process of getting leaves out of your gutters, a simple task. The part number is AGC1000 - check it out.
#KiteArmy #powerbeyondbelief
Great review, but... unfortunately this isn’t compatible with their backpack bowers. I found out the hard way.
Do you mean the EGO backpack? Thanks for adding that comment. I will pin it for others :)
@@Kitearmy yup, the Ego backpack. It makes sense with the way the swivel on it works. Ego actually makes it pretty clear on their website to, I just didn't bother to read!
I don’t have a backpack leaf blower
Has anybody tried other gutter attachment that will work with the backback blower? I read somewhere that Husqvarna or Stihl might be compatible. Cant find the source now.
Thank You, I just bought a house after not owning one for many years. I began to buy EGO gear. I am very pleased with the EGO line so far. I have the 2 stage snow blower, 22 inch mower, string trimmer, hedge trimmer and of corse the blower. I will buy the gutter attachment.
Sure thing. Thanks for commebt
I can't recommend their shop vac enough. You probably own it by now. haha
That's a pretty cool attachment. I've been loathing the gutter cleaning more and more as I get older. Getting up on that roof is less and less of an option... it just takes one slip to end up paralyzed, or a bit dead. And either of those two things is no bueno. I'd hate for the _last_ thing I do in my life to be cleaning gutters! Gonna have to get one of those. But I think I'd need an extra set of pipes for the 2nd floor gutters on the back of the house.
Right - it gets worse once you get older than 30
That would be too long. No power.
bikephil I think you would still have power but it certainly would be more challenging to control.
A bit dead. That’s the worst outcome!
To see exactly what you are doing, just get a cheap mirror with a handle from the dollar store and tape it to the end of the attachment that is ejecting the air into the gutters. Works great.
Great tip
I just purchased the gutter cleaning kit. I also have a wireless snake camera I was thinking taping to the end of the kit to see exactly what I will miss in the gutters
@@georgemann1059 Good idea - I think a gopro with a feed to a phone might even be better
@@Kitearmy that's the benefit over the GoPro option... The weight is back at the blower with 11ft snake.. And does also send to phone.
Cool but please stop screaming at me.
I guess I was using my outside voice ;)
i bought the similar kit for a craftsman blower at a garage sale for $5 and it attaches easily, no adapter needed to my ryobi blower. Works fine.
Nice
“You can go all the way up to 8 feet” 😂. Guy who just cleaned my gutters needed a 32’ ladder.😢
I was thinking about the same thing. I have a single story house and I still have to use a 16' ladder in some places.
Please wash your truck, and make a video of you drying it with your Ego leaf blower. A lot of car/truck detailers use this Ego leaf blower, and would appreciate seeing it used with just the first attachment from the gutter kit. Thus making a short tube for easier maneuverability around vehicles. Thanks!
Good suggestion
I just bought the 650 CFM blower after selling my 3+ year old back pack blower. Didn’t know this product existed. Gotta add it to my gear. Great info and video.
Thanks mate
I own one of these and highly recommend you wear a hat and safety glasses cause the *hit really flys. Especially those little pebbles that come off of your shingles.
great tip
I love this attachment. Try drilling a hole and installing Christmas Tree Clip tabs for auto body stuff to keep the tubes from twisting off due to the power of the blower.
This is a great idea. Bought the clip retainers on Amazon, drilled a hole thru attached links & pushed the retainer in the hole. Works fine, thanks. BD
The tubes untwist - can you please explain what you mean by Christmas Tree Clips???
I do this but I'm too close to my neighbours to be blowing that stuff all over the place so I just attach it to my wet-dry vacuum. And, with a vacuum, the shit doesn't come down all over me and into my hair and eyes. Great system either way.
Hi, would you care to show how the attachement look like with the vacuum to it? I am looking for a way to catch the leaves and mud coming out from the powerful blows .thanks
Thanks for the gutter humor! Clowns scare me but this ego attachment is exciting!
GUESS WHAT? DOes not stay attached - ordered the 650 cfm cleaning attachment for my 650 cfm blower. The tubes will not stay on - they can't take the power and I am not using TURBO - I have the middle setting for power and they still fall off. THey click and stay on until you use it for about 4 or 5 minutes. EGO will NOT cover this defect after 30 days and they know this is an issue. I bought from AMAZON. Originally bought and tried out the tubes and was really thrilled but did not need to use it for gutters - I only tried it out for a few minutes. BUt when you use it for 5 minutes or more = these do not stay twisted together though they lock like they are well connected - they come apart. Many reviews state same issue. The swirl nozzle will not stay straight - twirls around.
Also, wear ear protection - very loud and closer to your head when using it with the gutter attachment.
This attachment is just awesome to play with! I'd blow the tops of trees with this.
Good idea - blow the leaves of the trees in the summer. No fall clean up!
...and myself.
Cheaper than an emergency room bill and all the deductibles and copays for orthopedic surgeons after a guy falls off a ladder or roof trying to blow gutters clean.
But no pain killers
hmmm the link just takes us to the 530 cfm blower, but not the gutter attachment. I did put in a search for the attachment on amazon and came up empty. had to go to the actual seller's site to find it.
however, thanks for much for putting this vid together.
I just re-watched this video again and a thought came into my mind... "EGO Gutter Cam with Bluetooth connectivity to smartphone "to clip onto the Gutter Cleaning Attachment!! Would EGO be the first to do it!!? :.D
I laughed at first and then realized that is not a bad idea - probably would not be to hard to do!
@@Kitearmy or.... just an "Attachment" accessory with clear splash guard (plastic) available for people to attach any camera with GOPRO mount to do the job. I can see beside home owners, a lot of landscape people who clean gutter for their customers rather be doing the job from the ground with a smartphone to make sure it's done properly than doing the job on top of a roof.... my wife is going to kill me again by not patenting all the ideas in my head!!!! LOL !!!
Any cheap GoPro can connect with your cell phone for FPV ... real time video.
I like this guys reviews.
Much appreciated
Leaf blower is amazing! Here’s my question: I am a 5’ female, this thing is a bit heavy. Is there a harness to protect my back and shoulder and is it effective?
Love this gutter cleaner attachment!
Ty
Thank you for the video. Do you know if they sell additional extension tubes? The 2nd floor of my house is quite high and I will definitely need more extension. Thank you
Excellent presentation. Thx for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
I just ordered mine, so I don't have to hire anyone anymore to save money in the long run.
Ego forever!!!
Amen!
Thx for video. I did buy the Ego attachment but it doesn't get very narrow. It look slike your link (best deal) shows Worx brand. Does that fit? I felt like it didn't get gunk out, just surface leaves. Maybe if it fit in better it would help. Or Worx one? Or suggestions? Thx. Trying to do this myself and not get on a ladder. Thx!
I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.
Great Video!
Thanks so much. Glad you liked!
Will this fit the Kobalt KHB2024 B-03? In your video, the connection appears to be exactly the same. Thanks.
know what scares me more than clowns? People who stick their face right next to the camera lens.
be brave
The description says this is 8.3 ft in length. I have to reach 15ft gutters. Fully assembled, what's the length from handle of the blower to the end of the nozzle? I'm 6ft tall and I'm hoping this can reach.
If you are 6 ft tall and your arms are 2 ft long, then add 8.3 feet and you have, approximately 16.3 ft of use.
just got mine! let's see how well it does 😉
Cool - let us know how well it works
Does not fit EGO leaf blower LB4800.
right
You must have been compensated by EGO for this video. That contraption only removed about 50% of the leaves.
Great if you have a 10 ft high roof, which you could easily climb onto anyway
Does this attack fit the new 765?
yes
@@Kitearmy Thank you
@@MaskulineMale 😀
A little more dangerous than standing on the ground but safer than standing on a ladder. I stand on my roof to blow the gutters out. Advantage is the debris does not fall on me while cleaning. One idea i was thinking about is blowing my leaves back into my yard from a fence dividing mine from my neighbors yard by running the gutter kit over the fence to blow the leaves away from the fence. My neighbor is a jerk that complains if while i blow leaves they cross into his yard. So rather than using the blower to launch tennis balls at him i was thinking this might keep the peace. Our fence is less than 4 foot and not the 6 ft.high. dont know if this would work or i should just stock up on tennis balls.
You gotta love neighbors. Next house I move into id getting the highest fence that is allowed
Beware! doesn't fit the older Ego blowers. Mine is model number LB4800. The Ego site gives compatible models - the LB5300, LB5750, LB5800, LB6150, LB6500, LB6700, and LB7650 blower models.
Will that work with the original ego 600cfm backpack blower. I don’t think it has that click part
Will this clean out the sand or fine gravel type stuff that probably comes off the shingles ? My neighbor used a hose and seemed to take a while to remove all of that stuff
to some degree
I got that kit and it does not work with my ego blower. My tube locks to the blower with a half turn, no clips.
Link takes me to the blower.
This attachment, AGC 1000 has been out of stock for months everywhere. If anyone knows of an alternative gutter attachment for the Ego leaf blower, please let me know? Or where to find it? Thank you. Chris
Part of my company is gutter cleaning, so I gutter cleaning in volume if you accidentally hit a overhead power line would you get electrocuted?
maybe -that sounds like a bad thing
Awesome 👍
Thanks mate
I have two very popular brand blowers, but it does not fit, so it won't work for me.
The leaves in the gutter look like they were just placed in there especially for the purpose of having a successful demo. Notice that as the leaves were blown out, the gutter was not stained as it would have been if the leaves had been there a while. In a real life situation, the leaves would been in the gutter for well over a season & would be soggy & partially decayed.
Unless you blow them out about once a month. Preventive maintenance.
I totally agree with you on each and every point of your detailed evaluation of the video of lies.
I'm curious would this work with a gutter eve that is narrow, I realised to get into my gutter it's full of debris but the gap is also very tight, i can barely get my hand in there to clean out leafs
Did you do find this out? I have the same issue with narrow square gutters
@@ToonarmY008 It was easier to get on a ladder and use the blower direct
What if you’re working on a tall roof or a 2-story house?
you would probably have trouble reaching a second story roof
@@Kitearmy Would it be possible to make a longer pole to reach the 2nd floor? Would it still be effective?
Also what kind of GoPro did you use?
@@Essays4College I tried it with 2 sets - it's a bit awkward
@@Kitearmy did it work out for you?
I was thinking about ordering it today; however, I saw the spec. and the max. reach is 8.3 ft. How does one reach the top roof gutter on a two story 9ft ceilings home? Is it possible to buy extra tubs to extend that high and can the unit still be safely handled and operated at that height? I wonder if one have to buy two sets of these to get to the top roof of a two story 9ft ceilings home. Would you be interested to find this out?
I would say that using 2 sets would be a bad idea - I considered that but with the power it will probably blow you over
@@Kitearmy Thanks Andrew for your reply. I do not really need the gutter attachment for myself as I have no trees close to my house; however, thinking about fall time when helping out the elderly or disabled people in the community. Would you please share about what was the power setting when you were doing the review while attached to the 650CFM? I am asking the question because I am wondering if the 530CFM is powerful enough so I should keep it to share with friends when doing the community help out since I got a few 5.0/7.5 batteries.
@@Kitearmy you're right other companies just said to double it up...but it was a really bad idea. It's only good for one story gutters
Great review however one should have gutter cover...
Thanks - I'm always thinking about getting them - another cost
Are you sure its compatible "with every EGO blower ever made?" I have an LB6000 Back Pack blower and it is not listed as being compatible on EGO's web page.
Nope - you are right - only the handheld
"Toro"has the Universal attachments.
Worx sells some too
Are you suggesting the Toro kit would work with the Ego LB6000 Back Pack blower?
So what do you do when your 120 year old house has gutters 26 feet up?
Go go gadget Legs!!
hire someone
👍👍
Thanks mate
How do I stop these ads
close your eyes
Actually I was speaking of an ad before your video. Didn’t mean your specific video. However, smart ass comments aren’t warranted. Good luck with your review channel.
Do I get one of these with my 650 blower that I won?
Sure and a Tesla :)
@@Kitearmy WOW, today is my lucky day ! Love your videos !
@@loghome7061 It sure is your lucky day - a brand new KiteArmy video was released
Were you running the 650 on turbo or high or?
I think I was using high speed
@@Kitearmy that's interesting and good that you only need it 500 and something CFM to clean those gutters. Thank you for the prompt response. You make some really good review videos. I actually just ordered the 765 and one of their string trimmers.
Greenworks commercial makes a 700 cfm backpack blower.
Right - that is a backpack blower. I'm working on a Greenworks mower right now
@@Kitearmy the 25 inch dual blade? I may grab one of those for our landscape business this Spring!
@@bikes7777 Dual battery 21"
@@Kitearmy nice, looking forward to it.
@@Kitearmy I'm hoping EGO start dual battery gear soon.
Planning on buying the 650CFM blower next week, was thinking about buying the gutter attachment but ~$50 seems like a pretty steep price for some plastic tubes and I only have about 15' of gutters on a single story though I wouldn't mind not having to get on my roof.
Though it fits perfectly - not sloppy like the universal stuff
@@Kitearmy I certainly wouldn't buy some universal thing, maybe clean out the gutters of some people I know to further justify it.😅
@@lPHOENIXZEROl warning - it can get messy
@@Kitearmy There's probably dirt in my gutters too so I'll probably have to get on the roof anyway to scoop it out but I'll start at the bottom, maybe wear a parka or maybe an umbrella hat.
Anyway, the blower will go with the mower (LM2135SP) and trimmer (LM2135SP) I bought last week and hope that I'll someday get a day off work where the weather is also nice here in Michigan so I can actually use them. I'm almost all in on the Ego ecosystem... egosystem?
Happened to find the mower at a near by Ace Hardware after having only looked at Lowe's where the nearest one with it was over 100 miles away. Going to take advantage of the discounts from their rewards program from spending over 800 bucks after signing up.
@@lPHOENIXZEROl ACE is starting to sell EGO like crazy - interesting point about their points system
Andrew! You missed some or a lot.
It’s too bad my roof is 20 ft tall.
you could probably get 2 kits - but I'm not sure that it would be easy to control
@Leonard Ferguson Good suggestion
Your link, above, goes to a WOKS kit. . . . . . Not an EGO. What’s up ?
Will see what Amazon did
Only works on dry leaves.
You can use it on wet leaves - gets pretty messy
That’s pretty expensive for only 8ft.
I have seen some other options on Amazon - they are universal which means they don't work all that well
Very good idea but what about the cleanup of all the leaves that you blew out.
No problem, they just blow into your neighbors yard
@@Kitearmy Thanks pal! :D
@@goodmanshealth It's like coronavirus
Better to put the blower in reverse and suck the leaves out....
no suction on most blowers
@@Kitearmy Most of the ones I seen have both, unless you buy some cheap thing.
@@WyMustIGo interesting - I have tested about 50 battery blowers in the past few years and only seen 1. Maybe you are talking about corded models?
@@Kitearmy Yes, Choorded
@@WyMustIGo Yeah - some corded blowers are reversible
You missed a spot...
my bad
Good but doubt it can deal with my nasty pin leaf needles that seem are nailed to the gutter!
I think this would have a shoot of getting them out
should do, I got mine out with my electric blower. I had to put the nozzle virtually on them though.
@@positiveaspect5730 I guess they can kind of get "glued" in there
ladders are unsafe?!
sure - do you know how many people get hurt every year
@@Kitearmy but do you know how many ladders are used every year where no one is hurt.
@@wb5plj tons of hurt feelings
Great way to make a mess.
Not very effectiven omn the leaes in the gutters on the ryuioof
hmmmmm
Would it be better to vacuum the gutters?
interesting idea - not sure how well it will work
What a weird guy lmao
Sorry I'm not your type
You must test it with wet leaves and show your test results.
I wet the leaves in the gutter shot
I've had the same gutter cleaner pipe for over 20 years that I made out of vacuum pipe for Shop-Vacs along with the double elbows for $20. This isn't anything ground breaking,
Wow - in todays money that cost you over $100
$50?
$10-$15 in PVP pipe and some clamps.
For sure - I personally like the custom fit of this attachment
@@MarkAB2210 thrifty
For someone who has done this exact thing, I can tell you that's WAY heavier especially with 10ft length. I made one for my toro blower. It's super awkward and difficult to handle because of its weight. With shorter lengths this works fine though.
Looks weak
A tad too LOUD....
What did you say???
Why are U YELLING????
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Says he afraid of heights.. then he climbs up a ladder. Plus u missed half of the leaves.
Not afraid of heights - afraid of ladders
What did you do, keep a bunch of leaves and threw then in your gutter? Not a single tree anywhere had any leaves on them, no leaves anywhere in the camera's view of your neighborhood. Let's see a REAL test where the leaves were on the bottom have decayed and soaking wet like the bottom of gutters really get. Dry leaves with a 30 second water spray is not a valid test.
Sorry you are not satisfied...let me get your money right back to you.
This would never work with wet debris and with plants growing in the gutter,this is amateur at best. Oh and it doesn’t deal with clogging in the downspout.
it would but you will be soaked
I use my Ego leaf blower to blow up the downspouts with great success.
Get to the point
Point - this can be attached to an EGO blower to clean leaves in a gutter
A bit over animated presentation doesn't lend credibility to your opinion.
I get it - nothing worse than animations
I made one of these over five years ago.
I called it a GLADFART. Gutter Leaf And Debris Flush And Removal Tool.
