I live in the Northwest. I have a tri-level house (high gutters) with tree leaves that clog the gutters. I wanted a permanent solution with guards that would keep leaves from piling on top . I researched gutter guards on Amazon and on independent websites. A-M was mentioned more often than most. I ordered the sample product, ordered 170 foot of 5 inch .This summer I hired someone to clean, repair and install the guards. He told me I mis measured the width of the gutters. They were closer to 4 inches wide.

**This is important**There are very few 4 inch gutter guards on the market and nothing like A-M****My installer was able to trim the back flange and then install the guards easily****.

It hasn't rained yet but I'm confident that based on the material and the design (raised ridges and tight drain hole pattern) , even with the additional trimming (if necessary) , this is the best and most economical of all the gutter guards for sale.

I finally broke down and bought these after years of cleaning leaves out of my gutters. They are very easy to install and work great!

The true test came this weekend when the Tropical Storm, Hillary, hit Southern California. With 24 hours of non-stop rain they worked as intended. Not only that they are by far less expensive than other brands.

It's simply a sample but it conveys the quality of these gutter helmets and gives you a good idea of size and how they go together if you plan to do it yourself. There are two included sizes for two gutter sizes. I plan to pick up sections now to do my garage gutters as they tend to fill with debris

I have 6" gutters and have wanted gutter guards/covers installed for years. Finally pulled the trigger after realizing the cost of someone doing it was terribly out of the range I wished to spend.

My gutters bother me twice a year. Once in spring, after the helicopters and those stringy oak things that come raining down from everyone else's trees, then in the late late fall due to all the leaves.

After reviewing so many utube vids and amazon reviews, I picked these to go with. I first ordered a sample pack and made certain the 6" sample would fit my gutters.

I ordered 200 feet and the package delivered by UPS was a bit battered. I had a couple bent guards, but they are easily bent back into shape, so no big deal there. There was also a deal going on with a couple screw packs that would save me 8 bucks. Glad I did it.

Don't expect your roof to look like all the pics in the reviews. Don't expect the drip edge to be exact in every spot. Don't expect the gutter guard to be "perfect" in every spot. I did my danged best to get them straight as I could, but I could only install on top of the drip edge in the back of my house. The rest of the house it wasn't possible. They did go nicely behind the drip edge and I put a couple support screws on the back here and there as necessary.

Some spots didn't have enough "hanger support" holding up the gutter guard. That's where I had small dips in a couple spots. I'm not going to worry too much about it though. I spent two weekends putting these things on, primarily because I was perplexed by how hard it had become to get the guards to install in front of the edge, a bad shoulder, and the blazing hot sun. But, it's finished now. If all I have to do this fall/spring is wipe the guards off with an extension pole and a wiper of sorts, I'll be happy. No ladder.

I'll update the review after I find out how well they work. Also, DO wear some gloves for hand protection. Have some good tin snips and if you have a Dremel with a cutting wheel, use it! Naproxen for the knees may help for you older people going up and down the ladder.

I ordered the sample 5 and 6 inch models to see how they would install on my 6 inch gutters. Unfortunately the gutter brackets used to install my gutters project quite high in the gutter and prevent what would otherwise would have been a very very easy installation.
