The only gutter-cleaning robotThis is the only remote-controlled robot that removes leaves, small branches, gutter and dirt from , eliminating the need for ineffective and laborious manual methods. Made by iRobot, a founded by roboticists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and renowned for their tactical robots used in U.S. military reconnaissance missions, the robot is controlled by a 75′-range handheld remote.

After it is placed in a gutter , the robot begins to clean at the touch of a button, rotating its powerful auger at 500 rpm while the durable rubber and plastic blades dislodge and remove stubborn detritus; polypropylene brushes finish the process by wiping the gutter clean.

As the low-profile robot moves back and forth under gutter supports its tank-like, belt-driven treads allow the robot to easily cross downspout openings, while its waterproof design allows for use in wet conditions. When gutter is complete, the remote attaches to the top of the robot, forming a handle that allows for ease of transport to the next gutter.
