Anyone have gutter guards that they like?

[Oaktree]

My gutter guards do not work well with the type trees I have. The small oak leaves fit In the small slits and become lodged and then other leaves fall and it creates a damn.

Never seen oak leaves that looked like that. Ours are much larger, and a very different shape.

They're called Pin Oaks in the south at least that's what my neighbors call them.
I have them on my home and it lets 90% of them to wash or blow off. The remainder on my ranch home, I climb a 6' ladder and use my battery op blower to get rid of the 10%.

TMGT' has the same gutter guards I do, Easy On. I have purchased them over time from Costco and HD. I assume there are knock offs but I'm most pleased with them. They do come in different sizes to fit different size gutters. You can use their stickum tape or provided self taping screws or both. Gutter guards DO need some periodic eyeball maintenance now and then which is really just a casual brush off of some lingering material. If you have old gutters that have been painted over or abused, you want to screw them down. Tape won't stick well to them. If you have unmolested gutters, a swipe with rubbing alcohol or thinner to make sure they are clean, the tape works super.

Vinyl and PVC can often be confused with one another, but the truth is that these two materials are not the same. Vinyl is a radical of ethane that refers to many different ethylene-based compounds and PVC is polyvinyl chloride and a polymer of vinyl chloride.Aug 29, 2017

Is Vinyl the Same Thing as PVC?​

Well with 30 yrs of dealing with injection molding and injection molded products, I can tell you that people use the 2 terms fully interchangeably. If you want to be totally pedantic about it vinyl is not a material but is strictly a particular side group (ethenyl) on a polymer chain. But other than polymer chemists nobody cares about that or uses it that way...

Please don’t suggest ”leaf filter” guards as I am not up to spending 6-7 k for this. Anyone have any product that they like?

6-7K for leaf filter guards is outrageous unless you are talking many-many hundreds of feet of guard. Had slightly over 100 ft installed over 10 years ago for around $1100 and that included replacing the existing gutters with larger capacity gutters.
