I installed these stainless steel mesh gutter covers on my house a couple of years ago for a fraction of what I was quoted to do similar systems by pros. It took about 4 hours to do my whole house.
I went from having to clean my gutters about 5 times a year (or rather NOT cleaning them when they needed it, and my gutters overflowing), to not cleaning them since installing these covers.
In my opinion the LeafGuard gutters are neither very effective, economical, or very honest. I visited a booth at a home show and asked how much per foot, and they insisted there was no way to quote it that way, that it's more "complex" than that. So I said "ok, how much for 200 linear feet in three sections with 5 downspouts" and they refused to even ballpark a figure, or even say if it was "more than $10,000 or less than $10,000"...they're not going to quote you a number without a home visit where they can estimate how much you can afford, and put on the hard sell.
Unfortunately, from all the threads I've read on here about gutter guards, none of them really work all that great and you'll end up cleaning them anyway. That being said, people are always trying to reinvent the wheel. I'd go check out neighbors houses and see if anyone else is using them then talk to them about how well they work.
These look promising. Lots of Q&A and people seem pleased as these are a copy from a more expensive item https://www.amazon.com/LeafsOut-Gutter-Install-yourself-Protection/dp/B004IG3IOC
In addition, I saw a post somewhere on Reddit, where a guy used pvc to extend his leaf blower putting an ell on the end and blew out his gutters from the ground.
