Anyone have Leaf Relief by Alcoa?


Question:I'm considering purchasing the Leaf Relief gutter guards by Alcoa for my gutters. I have severe issues with pine needles and leaves clogging up my gutters most of the year. My previous home had Leaf Guard which worked excellent but is too expensive for my new home due to the linear footage. I like the simplicity of Leaf Relief but it looks like it will retain a lot of pine needles before they dry out and blow away. I know there are dozens of different options out there but I want something I can have installed and forget. I also own a ranch home so options that fit under the first row of shingles don't really appeal to me due to asthetics. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Answers:
Leaf Relief is a good product. When we've installed it we put it on the gutter before we hung the gutter. So keep in mind you may need to take the gutter partially down if you need to get in there and clean it out, which shouldn't be too often. We used it in place of the hidden hangers, so I don't see how you could use it on existing gutters. It is probably the best for keeping pine needles out.
I would stay away from any kind of helmet. The water runs right over in a medium to heavy rain.
