John Doherty 126 Report post Posted August 22, 2005 I've seen one post here where someone said they used a vac to clean out gutters. I don't want to have to lug one up on a roof though. I'm thinking of the using the Nikro dual motor vac, or maybe upgrading to the tri-motor. Anyone have any thoughts? JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don M. 14 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 JD, go to your local Sears. They have a attachment for your shop vac that you can use from the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Doherty 126 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 Don, I was wondering if the vacs would be powerful enough. The Nikro is super powerful (I lift containment water onto my trailer with 50' of hose, some guys use 100' plus). I was thinking 150' of hose. Have you tried that attachment? How did it work? Something like that seems like it would be unwieldly (is that a word) to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky 14 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 their (nikro) intake is only 2" and it would clog up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 64 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 They dont work well when the gutters are filled with wet leaves which sometimes become matted down. If your cleaning dry gutters they work like a charm. Even after it rains and then is dry for many days, the "junk" in the gutters could still be wet and matted down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
