The iRobot Looj 330 Gutter Cleaning Robot autonomously blasts away dirt and brushes gutters clean at the press of a button.

Just press the CLEAN button and Looj travels through your gutters, sensing and adapting to debris in order to provide the most effective cleaning possible.
A safer way to clean your gutters, Looj reduces repeated ladder climbing and overreaching from dangerous heights. The detachable handle doubles as a remote control, giving you complete forward and reverse control of the robot. The remote can also control the spin direction of the auger so dislodged gutter debris can be tossed in the correct direction, away from your roof. Looj can also work autonomously, cleaning your gutter all on its own, by just pressing CLEAN.
Looj cleans by using spinning auger breakers to split apart clogs (1), ejectors to lift and throw debris from gutters (2), and sweepers and scraper follow behind to provide extra cleaning performance and a clear path to travel back (3)

Product Features
Simple One-Button CLEAN Mode – Just press the CLEAN button and Looj travels along your gutter on its own, sensing and adapting to debris. When Looj is done, simply double-click the reverse button and it comes all the way back to you. Looj can also operate in Manual Mode, allowing you to control its forward and reverse directions. You can also control the auger’s spin direction, so debris is propelled out of the gutter and away from your home.Lithium-Ion Battery – This battery technology equips Looj with a strong power source, giving it the power needed to handle your gutters, including tough clogs, in no time. Lithium-ion battery technology also increases the life of the battery allowing it to still run like new after long winter storage.
Four-Stage Auger - The auger uses a 4-stage cleaning process to dislodge and remove gutter debris. First, the auger breaker splits apart clogs so the ejectors can then lift and throw debris from your gutters. Next, the breaker bars continue to split tougher clogs so finally, the sturdy polypropylene sweepers can brush gutters clean. Additionally, a scraper follows behind the auger to provide extra cleaning performance and make sure the path is cleared for the robot to quickly travel back.
Safety –The Looj 330 reduces repeated ladder climbing and overreaching from dangerous heights to make gutter cleaning a safer task. Plus, the included belt clip keeps your hands free as you climb up and down the ladder and since the detachable handle doubles as a remote control, giving you complete forward and reverse control of the robot, so you only need to put your ladder in one spot.
Remote Control Handle with Long Range – The detachable handle is also the remote control, giving you complete manual or automatic control. The wireless controller with 2.4 GHz RF has a long communication range of 50’, allowing you to drive the robot further along the gutter so you can clean longer stretches of gutter without moving the ladder.
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 is designed to operate in the wet environment of gutters, which also makes for a quick clean-up; simply spray Looj with a hose when done.
Customizable – Looj includes 2 sizes of auger ejectors – large and small. This allows you to customize Looj to fit the type of debris that can vary by season or type of gutters found on homes.
Accessories - Looj comes complete with a belt clip to provide hands-free carrying. The belt clip keeps your hands and legs free for safer ladder climbing. An optional storage case keeps Looj and all its parts and accessories safe and protected during storage and allows for easy handling to and from the job site (available for purchase). Additional ejector styles are also available for purchase in the Looj Accessory Kit for maximum customization of the auger. You can be ready to tackle most any gutter condition with the purchase of all additional accessories.

I bought this robot with the hope of helping my husband with the gutter cleaning chore. We are very very pleased with it.
When the gutters and flashing have been installed correctly, there is enough room under the gutter hanging straps for the robot to proceed thru the gutters without any problem. It successfully removed leaves and other tree litter, as well as sections of dirt-and-moss that had colonised the hard-to-reach segments of the gutter.
In one section of our gutters, the flashing sticks into the gutter at an angle (improperly installed) so there is not enough room for the robot to go from one end to the other. Gets about half-way, and gets stuck.
In another section, the hanging straps on the gutter have sagged/bent over the years, and the robot cannot sneak under these.
All in all, this is a very useful tool, that works as advertised, and handles all the different kinds of litter we have in our gutters: Leaves, compacted elm seeds, dirt, moss. We did not use it when the gutter contents are wet. That will be an experiment for another day.
I would happily buy this again, at full price, and I would give it as a gift to any home-owner who cleans his own gutters. It was easy to figure out how to use it, and it was effective.
I had a few choices: get a 40 ft ladder, pay somebody to clean my gutters or get the Looj. I decided to try the Looj and I am really really surprised how well this works.
Our gutters get every year full of leaves and need to be removed before they decompose. I have a few gutters which are really high and not easy accessable, so this device should come in very handy.
I dropped it in the gutters, turned it on and it worked like charm. It really cleaned all my gutters. All I had to do is standing there and please the button. I was really surprised.
Two Cons:
- battery is not lasting very long, so I had to recharge them after one side of the house was done. Took about 2-3 hours to recharge.
- the communication rage is not long enough for me. Somehow it's seems being less then 50ft, which isnt enough for me. This should be way more.
Something I noted will using the Looj, its hard to see within a distance. As I said I cant follow the gutters with the ladder I have only access to the gutters on one side of the house. It's hard to see 30-40ft away and its hard to determine the direction of travel, the position of the Looj (normal, on it's side, etc). This should be addressed somehow. Make it brighter, add a small antenna (with would benefit the range too), so the user can see it better.
My gutters are filling up again, so I am really looking forwards of using the Looj next weekend again. :)
I envision scientists testing this gizmo in lab conditions with artificial leaves but in the real world, the unit needs to stand up much better to wear and tear. I would suggest using rubber wheels rather than tracks (like an Army humvee) since tracks are notorious for being easy to throw once debris gets in the way. I would also have the nose of this unit be more like a tunnel boring machine so that it can pierce any clogs and then follow by the scrubbers (suggest metal) and finally the ejectors.
In any case, for now, this just isn't ready for prime time, at least with my gutters.

I put on the small blades, thinking it would have less chance of getting stuck, by the Looj only cleaned 2' before it couldn't go any further, then went back and forth a few times before the battery ran out. It lasted 5 minutes, and cleaned 2', though it did a great job in that short space. I'm reluctantly returning it to Amazon. I had high hopes, and they were flushed down the gutter. Bummer!
