I’m in search of easier gutter maintenance. My neighbor has solid gutter guard, pvc and seamless, and seems to work well. I want to try something similar on my existing gutter. There are a lot of products in the market, but elko gutter (elkoproducts.com) seems to come close to what I want. There is one post who mentioned elko but no discussion on its durability under snowload and such. If anyone has tried this product, please reply with your experience. Thank you in advance.

My neighbor has those elko guards.
About every two years, he pays me to clean the gunk out of his gutters. So, if you live near me, I think you should get them, and look me up in a couple of years.
There was a post back a while with this product recomended by someone in the gutter trade.
I haven't orded it or tried it yet.

Grant are you using gutter filters, gutter filters, or gutter filers.Seems that gutter filter is both a trade name and a generic name.There is the Gutter Filter (TM)
http://www.gutterfilter.com/GutterFill(TM) by American Gutter Filter, Inchttp://www.americangutterfilter.com/default.aspxAnd Leaf Defier which is the one that was link in this thread.http://www.leafdefier.com/I see that the Leaf Defier is the only one available through distributors.The others, and also Flo-Free all seem to be only through their installers..

I think all three of them are the same product re-branded. I buy from gutter supply. Until a few days ago, they sold "Gutter Fill". Now, they're selling "Leaf Defier", but the literature looks the same - just the name is changed.
I have the Flow-Frees on my house. They are fine, but I like the others better.http://www.quittintime.com/ View Image
