A gutter cleaner having a head and a handle. The head is tubular and has a bend and a nozzle. The bend curves in two orthogonal planes, through an angle of 135° to 195° in one plane and through an angle of 15° to 60° in the other plane. The nozzle has an egress with one dimension being narrower than

A gutter cleaner having a head and a handle. The head is tubular and has a bend and a nozzle. The bend curves in two orthogonal planes, through an angle of 135° to 195° in one plane and through an angle of 15° to 60° in the other plane. The nozzle has an egress with one dimension being narrower than the other. The head and handle slidably fitting together and are secured to fix their relative positions. The lower end of the handle is adapted to attach to a vacuum source. The handle has a textured surface for gripping and eyelets for removably attaching a shoulder strap. Optionally, the handle has two sections that are slidably fitted together and that can be secured relative to each other.

1. A gutter cleaner comprising: (a) a head and a handle; (b) said head being tubular and having an open lower end, a bend, and a nozzle; (c) said bend curving through an angle of approximately 135° to 195° in a first plane and through an angle of approximately 15° to 60° in a second plane orthogonal to said first plane; (d) said nozzle having an ingress with a first dimension approximately parallel to said first plane and a second dimension orthogonal to said first dimension, said first dimension being smaller than said second dimension; (e) said handle being tubular and having an outer surface, an open upper end and an open lower end; (f) said head and said handle slidably fitting together; (g) a securement means for fixing the relative positions of said head and said handle; and (h) said handle lower end being adapted to attach to a vacuum source. 2. The gutter cleaner of claim 1 wherein said handle is comprised of a grip and an extension, said grip and said extension slidably fitting together, and a securement means for fixing the relative positions of said grip and said extension. 3. The gutter cleaner of claim 1 wherein said securement means includes a compression ring slidably positioned on said head lower end, external threads on said handle upper end, and a collar with internal threads for mating with said external threads, said compression ring fitting within a space between said head and said collar, and whereby, when said collar is turned onto said external threads, said collar presses said compression ring against said head, securing said head position relative to said handle. 4. The gutter cleaner of claim 1 wherein said handle outer surface is textured. 5. The gutter cleaner of claim 1 further comprising a strap, said handle outer surface including a plurality of eyelets, and said strap including a clip for removably attaching said strap to one of said plurality of eyelets. 6. A gutter cleaner comprising: (a) a head, a handle, and a strap; (b) said head being tubular and having a bend, a nozzle, and an open lower end; (c) said bend curving through an angle of approximately 135° to 195° in a first plane and through an angle of approximately 15° to 60° in a second plane orthogonal to said first plane; (d) said nozzle having an ingress with a first dimension approximately parallel to said first plane and a second dimension orthogonal to said first dimension, said first dimension being smaller than said second dimension; (e) said handle being tubular, having an open upper end, an open lower end, and a textured outer surface, said outer surface including a plurality of eyelets; (f) said head lower end and said handle upper end slidably fitting together; (g) a securement means for fixing the relative positions of said head and said handle; (h) said handle lower end being adapted to attach to a vacuum source; and (i) said strap including a clip for removably attaching said strap to one of said plurality of eyelets. 7. The gutter cleaner of claim 6 wherein said handle is comprised of a grip and an extension, said grip and said extension slidably fitting together, and a securement means for fixing the relative positions of said grip and said extension. 8. The gutter cleaner of claim 6 wherein said securement means includes a compression ring slidably positioned on said head lower end, external threads on said handle upper end, and a collar with internal threads for mating with said external threads, said compression ring fitting within a space between said head and said collar, and whereby, when said collar is turned onto said external threads, said collar presses said compression ring against said head, securing said head position relative to said handle.
