You might be one of the many people who look forward to beautiful foliage once fall rolls around, but that doesn’t mean you want to clean it up. Leaves have the potential to clog gutters and create a homeowner’s worst nightmare. Now, one device may be able to make gutter cleaning a bit easier in autumn.

This is what makes the EZSmart Gutter Cleaner so nifty: You can attach it to a sturdy extension pole. This means you won’t have to get up on a ladder to remove any of the foliage. Once you hook the product onto its pole, you can move it along all of your gutters and blow away the debris. The adjustable pole also gives you easy access to problem areas, such as roof valleys, where foliage can get trapped. With its custom casing, the Gutter Cleaner should coast smoothly over gutters of all types; you don’t need to worry about whether it’ll work on your house.
Finally, the EZSmart Gutter Cleaner has a rechargeable lithium ion battery, meaning you won’t have to fuss with wires as you tackle this seasonal chore. EZSmart Tools has given the EZSmart Gutter Cleaner a starting retail price of $199. However, you can pledge $189 on the Kickstarter campaign page today and get one for slightly cheaper. It’ll arrive by September 2015, just in time for you to start all of your autumn yard cleaning tasks.
Few things ruin a quiet evening faster than a robot vacuum roaring through the living room. Most of us end up pausing the cleaning run, which defeats the whole purpose of owning one. Matic thinks it has the answer with its new Serene robot vacuum, and the big selling point is how little noise it makes.
The Matic Serene runs at 52 decibels even when cleaning at full power. To put that in perspective, Matic compares it to the hum of your refrigerator. It is available now for $1,695, which is $200 more than the original Matic’s current price.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.
