5 Best Pressure Washer attachments for cleaning gutters
CHAVOR High-Pressure Washer Attachment
Our first pick has to be this gutter cleaner from Chavor. If you want to save time cleaning your gutter, this is the product for you. One of the stand-out features of this attachment is that it comes with a dual-sided nozzle that allows you to spray in two opposite directions.
While you might be concerned that the two nozzles will reduce the pressure of the spray, this is far from the truth- as the nozzles can maintain a constant 4000 psi more than you need to clean your gutter.

Another amazing feature that makes it easy to use is the rotating jet. This means that you don't have to worry about keeping it perfectly aligned to the gutters. All you will need to do is hang it off the gutter and move along the gutter while lifting it above the support bracket. Even if you are more than 20 ft. from the ground, the whole exercise will be seamless.
Since the turbo nozzles rotate at high speeds, the spray intensity increases the efficiency of the washer. Apart from cleaning leaves and other bits of debris, you will also be able to easily remove leaf/dirt jams that might clog your drains.

We also like how easy it is to install and remove it. Also, it is compatible with most high-power washers. Lastly, it is made from brass and stainless steel- you won't have to worry about leaks and premature wear and tear.
