Ever heard that saying “Keeping up with the Jones’s?”

I think that’s what wrong with society—everyone’s putting along just fine until some new toy comes out. The first jerk that gets his hands on it kind of sets the stage for a cascade event. Suddenly everyone’s gotta have it.

This is the story about how I was that jerk.

I live in a nice suburb in middle America. It’s a quiet community, modest-sized two-story homes, everyone has their own driveway, and the yards are blanketed with multi-colored leaves every fall.

Picturesque, if you ask me.

My wife tends to agree, right until those pretty leaves get trapped and gunk up our gutters. I am not a fan of this seasonal phenomenon either, but I tend to be a bit less of a perfectionist than most people I know.

No, that’s not a subtle way of calling myself lazy. I just don’t like climbing on ladders any more than I like digging all that junk out of the gutters themselves. I don’t think it’s a Bruce Willis in Die Hard kind of a job, but it’s certainly something I’m not comfortable with. If I slip and fall and break an arm or something, that’s a lot of work and company softball I’m going to miss out on.

My wife and I stood outside our house last fall, eyeing the gutters.

She raised a brow at me.

I crossed my arms and let her know what I think.

“Not worth the risk.”

She raised her brow again.

“We’re gonna have to pay someone to do it. Everyone else does.”

“Honey,” I said, pleading, “I’m not paying some dude a hundred bucks to clean those gutters out. I’m just not doing it.”

My wife, bless her heart, knows how to get what she wants.

“I’ll cancel my tanning membership if we can’t afford it. It needs to be done.”

Well…of course I’m not going to ask her to give up something she wants just because I don’t feel like taking care of the problem. That’s when I knew I had my work cut out for me; by the end of the day, I needed to be forking over the money or I’d be screaming Yippee Ki Yay as I fell off the side of the house.

I did what most sensible people do, and I went straight to the home improvement store. I figured there has to be something I can get that’s a compromise. Maybe there’s a leafblower attachment or something that can reach up to clean those gutters. I had no idea what I was looking for, but I was hoping I’d stumble across the solution to my problems, and who better to consult with than someone who runs the outdoor section at the store?

I had my hands in my pockets, whistling a little tune while I walked up and down the aisles, scoping out the equipment on the shelves. After my third circuit in the area, the manager waltzed up to me.

“You, uh…looking for something specific, sir?”

I was embarrassed. I was looking for something specific. I just didn’t know what, specifically, I was looking for.

“I, uh…look man, I’m not an outdoorsy kind of dude. I have this problem with my gutters clogging up, and I…I can’t really afford to add the expense of a cleaning service to my budget, you know what I mean?”

The manager nodded. “Yes, I know exactly what you mean. Ladders are on aisle—”

“So here’s my dilemma,” I cut him off, “I need these gutters cleaned, and I’m not the most coordinated individual. If I climb on a ladder, I’ll probably break my arm.”

The manager scratched his head. “How…how would you do that?”

“I…look, I don’t like heights, okay?”

I chuckled. “Sounds like something I’d do if I invented something.”

“Right.” The manager pulled out a card and wrote down something on it.

I took the card from him. It said GutterWand in big letters.

“Wow, thanks, man. How much is this gonna set me back?”

“It’s less expensive than you’re probably thinking. It’s one of those revolutionary concepts someone recently designed. Like a smarter, better version of a product, you know? Get yourself one and try it out.”

I decided this required some verification on the internet.

I did some research, and found out everything I needed to know:

GutterWand gives you the power to transform your ordinary garden hose into a hassle-free gutter cleaner in seconds! Simply hook up the quick-disconnect nozzle to your hose, turn it on, and experience the smartest solution for all your gutter cleaning needs!

The 4-position, 180-degree rotating spray head is constructed of durable zinc alloy and features two ergonomic, slip-resistant, rubberized handles for maximum comfort and ideal control. This lightweight yet rugged metal wand telescopes from 40 to 70 inches in length, allowing easy access to high rain gutters, and when combined with the adjustable-angle spray head, you can guarantee yourself a directed spray that efficiently removes leaves and other debris—leaving your gutters free and clear. Solid ¾ inch connectors ensure the waterflow from hose to extendable wand pipe fits the typical outdoor garden taps on most homes.

Built to last: Each GutterWand is designed to be non-corrosive so it will endure season after season. The padded foam grips add comfort and insulate your hands from cold-water temperatures. By converting natural water pressure into a focused water stream with adjustable angles, gutters aren’t the only thing you can clean with this innovative product; tall trucks and vans, RVs and more!

GutterWand is a lightweight, durable, smart solution to the gutter cleaning needs of anyone that wants to save time and money on yard maintenance, car washes, and otherwise keeping up with the exterior appearance of their homes.

So far, the GutterWand has sold over 4 million units directly to consumers, even without the help of being sold in stores. GutterWand has been SELLING OUT every time new stock becomes available, it’s become THAT popular.

And, it’s all from word of mouth. People just like you are loving it so much that they’re posting about it on instagram and telling everyone they know about it!

GutterWand has started to develop a cult following, and with over 5,000 5-star reviews, it makes sense. Here’s what customers are saying about it:

After reading all the praise and rave reviews, I was sold. I knew I needed to try the GutterWand for myself.

I knew this quality product wasn’t sold in stories, so as soon as it came back in stock, I ordered one from the official website. It arrived at my house 2 days later, and I was almost as excited as my wife; she wasn’t exactly tapping her foot at me, but she let me know the pressure was on. If this gadget didn’t do the trick, I’d be out of pocket on the professional cleaning service. It took me about 1 minute to pull it out of the box and, with the Easy-Connect technology, I just hooked it up to my hose and got to spraying.

I need to put a disclaimer on this, right here and now:

This product is THE BEST!

From the first swipe of the GutterWand over my home’s gutter, all that heartache I had about climbing on a ladder or forking over hundreds of dollars on a regular cleaning service completely went away.

With the 4-spray angle options on the adjustable spray head, it was beyond convenient to adjust the water as I needed between different angles. Just look at what a difference it made:

This is exactly the kind of result I was looking for. And it was EASY.

Like, seriously easy. I think the whole gutter around the house took me about twelve minutes to completely clear out. It was over so quick, I couldn’t believe it.

I decided to tackle the RV next. I was able to blanket actually get the entire sheen of dirt and grime buildup off the roof with the GutterWand, and it was, once again, effortless! You have to see the before and after photos, they do all the talking for me:

I mean, wow. That’s all I can say after using this. Just. Wow.

It’s currently on sale for 50% off at their official website for $59.95. An absolute STEAL in my opinion.

GutterWand is worth it. Hands down, no doubt, 100% takes all the risk out of cleaning the gutters, and saves me a whole heap of cash by avoiding a professional cleaning service. I’d go out on a limb and say it’s the best outdoor cleaning product I’ve ever used. And let me tell you, it didn’t take long before my neighbors caught on to it, too.

Keep up with the Jones’s. And I got to be Mr. Jones for the first time in my life.

Keep up with the Jones’s. And I got to be Mr. Jones for the first time in my life.

All up and down my neighborhood, I watched it happen slowly over the next couple of weeks. The two neighbors next to me saw how quickly I was able to clean my gutters, and they asked me about the GutterWand. I was more than happy to pay it forward; I told them all about the website, they ordered their own, and before I knew it, just about everyone in my thirty home community has gotten rid of their expensive cleaning services in lieu of the GutterWand!

Even Big John, the oldest guy in our community (I think he’s been retired for about twenty-five years) got himself one. I saw him using it the other day, and I know he has a bad back. That speaks volumes, right there!

To think I actually considered buying a ladder and risking it…

I’m extremely grateful for how easy GutterWand has made cleaning my gutters, and I know you will be, too. Get yours and give it a shot today!
