Also if your roof slope is greater than a 6 /12 it often spills water.
Look and Google reviews for that product.

Leaf blower with a 8 foot vinyl tube extension. The tube has a hook on the end that fits in the gutter. Been using for five years. Can't be beat. No ladder. Stan

I use gutter guard from Hallett. I've been very satisfied with its performance that's why I highly recommend it.

Comment to me
that gutter helmet is best
http://www.gutterhelmet.com/

Clients that have this system, praise this system to me

Those that have others....
generally complain about performance.

Of course if you spend that kind of money on a system most people will not say its bad.

The solid gutter guards work well with large objects like leaves or pine needles. They don't work at all with fir or cedar or hemlock. The small needles are like little kayaks. They just ride the water right around the edge and into the gutter. It all depends on the type of tree debris you have in your area.

I have personally removed a lot of the fully covered top ones i.e. Gutter Helmet, Leaf Gaurd because the bees love to build their nest inside of them, nice and dry for them until they make their nests too big and plug up the gutter.

A lot of those companies claim no icicles either but I have heard quite the contrary.

I would advise none at all.
