leaf filter or leaf guard?

Curious as well, we have our fair share of leaves. I clean eavestrough at least once a year. Not my favorite thing to do. A psi washer helps.
Imo either what u mentioned will still block drainage one way or another.
Do you hang Xmas lights on your gutters? That’s something else to consider with any gutter cover. Last year I installed gutter guards on the ones I don’t put Xmas lights/clips on. This spring I’ll lift a few sections to see how clear the gutters are after a fall/winter of them.
