My tests over the years determined that many products allowed small debris in the gutter.

One performed better than the other. You can see the visual proof in the videos below.

The video below is what my garage roof looked like after months of testing. It's very obvious that the way the gutter guard is installed makes a very big difference:
I was so impressed I selected the one that did the best and had it installed on my own home.
