But that was not the question...looking for actual homeowners who have purchased or considered solely LeafGuard or K-Guard (not general gutter guards or gutter helmet)

That's an interesting design. I'd also like to hear what is said by someone who had them installed. I've read many a thread about the perfect gutter, and the operative solution seems to be, lose the trees. Not an option for me as they are all in my neighbors yards.
Just looked online, and there is a dealer not seven miles from me.

I purchased englert leaf guards at my last home and they worked fantastic for a few years and resisted the 80+ year old pin oaks in the front yard. After about 5 years they started to clog and true to their word the company came out and cleaned them. Before I sold I had them out twice a year. No complaints except that I should have gone with the super sized model vs. the large.
I am going to have the super sized installed at my current home now, just waiting on the painter to finish the trim work.

It looks like the gutter cannot be opened. How did they go about cleaning them?
Several pin oaks here myself, along numerous other trees. Those helicopter things are unreal how much accumulates on my back patio, can only imagine what gets on the roof.
So after you had them installed, did you have them cleaned once or twice every year? They have a service for $199 where they clean the entire system inside and out.
By super size are you referring to the 6" vs the 5"?
Seems they now offer a wrapping that has come out in the past 6-12 months, serves solely as a cosmetic feature for the gap between the roof and the gutter.
One thing I notice is their pricing seems to vary based on current discounts etc. roughly how many feet of gutter did you have installed and what was roughly the ballpark pricing?
