Robotic Gutter Cleaner?

Money Magazine featured this product in its latest issue: A robot that cleans your gutters. Climb a ladder and insert the robot, then use your remote control to clean dirt, leaves and sludge out of the gutter. You can watch a video of the robot in action here.

Is it a gimmick, or does it really work?

You can read the Consumer Reports review here. I may have to wait for robot 2.0, but if you have patience and get a rush from new technology, you may beg to differ.

Have any of you tried this product? It is manufactured by iRobot.
