The 2010 Consumer magazine gutter guard test is discussed by leading industry authority Alex Higginbotham. "In the fall of 2010, the leading consumer testing magazine finally tested gutter guards. Now, while their testing methodology is not as rigorous as mine, I wasn't in the least bit surprised to find my technology scored highest in both the DIY and dealer installed categories. This patented technology of a filter over a downward extending plane, is one that I continue to improve upon and advance. And all of these improvements and advancements have been brought together in MasterShield." "Master builder, syndicated news columnist and creator of Askthebuilder.com, Tim Carter, tested MasterShield and compared it against the product from the magazine test. You may not know it, but as a builder, Tim has been telling people for years not to install gutter guards. But after coming across my technology, he decided to do a test of products on his own home. Under months and months of real world conditions, he allowed each product to be installed by the manufacturer. He chose a spot under one of the most dirtiest, most debris shedding trees I've ever come across." "Now, it's been several years since that test and Tim has not changed his mind on the system that he chose for his own home-- my MasterShield Gutter Protection."
