Does anyone have experience with Rain Flow Total Gutter Protection --

They had something similar at Costco and I decided against it. I asked
about
it here and we/I came to the conclusion they would just clog up
eventually.
I ended up with these:

I bought some of those in brown, and they warped all to hell in less
than a week.

Fortunately, HD accepted the return.


I used the white ones. My neighbor has the brown ones and they were holding
up well. I think they have to be installed correctly or they'll warp. When
the roofers re-did his roof they refused to reinstall them and now they are
warped. Prior to that they looked fine. If they are in a really hot area
they may not be a good choice.

They are not as easy to install as the literature would lead you to believe.
They were an 8 on the curse-o-meter and I don't like spending that much time
on a ladder.
