Product Description

iRobot Looj is a powerful robot designed to clean gutters. Looj eliminates

multiple climbs up and down the ladder. No more moving the ladder every

sixfeet,oroverreachingatdangerousheights.Loojhasanumberof

features designed to make gutter cleaning simple and easy. Looj’s

ergonomic handle detaches for wireless control of the robot. The included

belt clip lets you keep two hands on the ladder as you climb.

Cleaning Power:Therobotusesaexiblethree-stageaugertoremove

clogs,liftoutthedebris,andbrushyourguttersclean.Spinningat500RPM,

the high speed auger disrupts, lifts, and tosses debris out of your gutters.

Remote Control Convenience: The remote control gives you complete

forward and backward control of the robot. You can also control the spin

direction of the auger to make sure that gutter debris is tossed in the correct

direction, away from the roof.

iRobot Looj works in most standard gutters with straps or ties mounted

at least 2¼” above the bottom trough. Looj is compatible with standard

K-style gutters.

Tip: Remove items such as baseballs, large rocks, and tree branches

by hand. Attempting to force Looj through solid debris could

damage the robot.
