The last home I owned with gutters, I had them installed. Leaves washed right over them and almost all the water went into the gutter. Never had to clean the gutters again.
Must not have a large over hanging oak tree like we have. Tried leaf filter(not the brand) and it took 2-3 weeks for the leaves to build up and no/very little water went into gutter.
