Ratings & Reviews for Orbit 1 -Pattern Front Trigger Wand

issues with this product

I have strong water pressure so this wand needs to be controlled with two hands. When the water was turned on, the wand would not stay collapsed so that it able to manage it with the two hand grips. I screwed the plastic grip as tight as it would possibly go and the wand would still expand when the water was turned on. Thus, the only way I was able to use the wand was in the fully telescoped position. I do not feel I was able to use the wand as it was intended to be used and plan to return i...

Did the trick for me

Used it to bridge the last 6 feet between me, my ladder, and the gutters. Blasted water pretty well into the gutters but I couldn't really see what was happening. When I positioned it right over the downspout, however, it blasted through the clog of leaves and water really flowed well after that. Definitely better than paying $200-300 to have someone come to clean the gutters.

Best investment I ever made. Solved my problem immediately with my clogged gutters.

Not really long enough but it works

I used this to chase a squirrel out of one of my gutters; it was clogging things up and making a huge mess. It barely reached but it did work without hurting the squirrel. I would recommend it for cleaning gutters if your gutters weren't very high or you were willing to use a ladder.

Orbit Telescoping Cleaning Wand

I purchased this as a gift for a friend, and she has only used it once so far, but advised it worked great for cleaning out her gutters.

Glad I purchased it.

It has great power, hold on with both hands, removed so much dirt from my gutters.

Love this product

This product went above and beyond my expectations. I didn't have to use a ladder to reach the gutters. This is a wonderful product.

Pressure good, but didn't work for me

The pressure is outstanding, but would not push the leaves through the crook in my gutter. I would not recommend for stopped up gutter, but would be fine to flush out gutters.

nice design, cheap hose fitting!

After reading all of the previous reviews, and knowing all of the potential shortcomings, I bought this anyway. And it does work as advertised. Bought it primarily to clean the downspouts, but finally started using to clean the gutters also. Nice design, aluminum body, etc. BUT....the hose fitting is a cheap plastic fitting pressed into the aluminum body. Decided to use it yesterday with a 3/4" heavy duty hose instead of the normal light garden hose, and when I finished and laid it down on t...

Poorly designed product

Nozzle head does not stay at the angle you choose. It moves all over soaking you and putting the water where it is not needed. Shut off valve is awkward to use. It should be a trigger design. Telescope wand leaks so the water trickles down your arms.

Really did a fantastic job!

Our house sits on a deep slope so cleaning gutters on two sides has been nearly impossible UNTIL we bought this! It really cleaned out the crud in the gutters without much effort. Due to the height of some of our gutters we had to add 8 feet of length to the wand using copper and brass garden hose fittings easily enabling us do the job at ground level. Wear clothing you don't mind getting wet and you're all set.

Worked better than expected!!

I had total knee replacement surgery 2 1/2 years ago, so climbing an extension ladder was not desirable. Two years of debris had my North gutters overflowing. I gave this tool about a 50/50 chance of clearing the packed in debris, but sure enough, it cleared the gutter completely. I went over the gutter three times to make sure, but a very hard rain a few days later was completely contained in my 5-inch gutter. The nozzle end of the wand is adjustable to achieve the proper angle of attack. The v...

Dont waste your money

Very lightweight, which means very fragile. Plastic connector at the base broke the first time I used it. Back to cleaning the gutters the old fashioned way!

No pressure to move wet leaves

I recently purchased this brand do to it's looks and features over the other brand that was at Lowe's however, once I attached the unit to the hose and attempted to clean the gutters it wouldn't even blow the leaves out of the gutter. I then attached a standard spray nozzle on the hose and this cleaned the gutters better than this spray unit. I will be taking this back for a refund.

Cleaning gutters without a ladder

This is a great product! I was able to clean the gutters on my house and garage in about 30-45 minutes without using a ladder.

BEST PURCHASE FOR THE USE, EVER

USE IT TO CLEAN GUTTERS MONTHLY, AS I HAVE A LOT OF TREES. WORKS GREAT. BETTER THEN A OLD BENT SPRAYER I WAS USING.

Not what i expected

Does not extend far enough. Does not d a good job of cleaning out gutters. I still had to go up on a ladder to clean out the gutter.

Wish it were longer

This does a great job at what it does. Cleaned out a stopped up gutter with ease. Just wished I could have done more from the ground. When I hooked it up to a higher pressure outlet it did a really awesome job. Glad I got it!
