I actually saw one of these at Home Depot and the only concern I had is if you have a great deal of snow, if this would pose any issues. I also found something called Gutterbrush http://www.gutterbrush.com which looks like a great big bottle brush. It seems to not allow any small stuff in, but the water. I haven't totally decided if this is a real option or not, but they will send you a sample. I got the sample and it seems it would work, but the only way to know is to do an entire gutter and see how it wokrs. Now the brush is kind of expensive and I can't recall how much since it's been a couple of years since I check into it. Thanks for the info.
Oh, I neglected to mention the one I saw at Home Depot you trimmed some off if necessary, but a bit of it slipped up under the bottom row of shingles and then sort of clipped to the edge of the gutter.
