Review 1 for StealthFlow Low Profile Downspout Extension
Overall rating
Does not work
,PostedMarch 9, 2013

The extensions leak at their connection points. In addition, since the extensions flex at their connection points, if you have a long run, you must provide support for each extension to maintain a slope for the water to drain. Water also sits in the groves and doesn't flow easily.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I have two downspouts in the rear of my home. When it rains, the water draining pools up on our clayish soil. As a result, these areas remain wet or damp for an extended period of time. We were getting ready to do some planting alongside this area and I wanted a way to both extend, and disperse the water throughout this area. I really didn't want it just gushing out of the downspouts as it now does. What I didn't want was an actual length of downspout acting as an extension, or those plastic auto-roll things which don't work.
I was fortunate to find this product and ordered two.
The item is two pieces which clip inside each other. Once once side is within the detentes, it's a little tricky locking in the other side. I found by lifting up the side to be inserted by the edge, I was able to get both sides clipped in much easier than brute force, because that wasn't working.
On the actual flat extension part, there is clearly a top and bottom. The bottom has perhaps 12 holes running alongside it's length to disperse water. These were really small, so I just enlarged them with my drill.
I'm rather disappointed in the fact that on the picture, there appears to be holes alongside the top as well...Well, there are no holes on top, their just dimples. Again with the drill, I just drilled about 5 holes on each side. This way I'll have drainage hole alongside both the top and bottom to lessen the flow out the end.
I really like this product. It's thick PVC, easy to work with, and hides well when covered over with mulch. The only thing you really notice is the round extension coming out of the downspout into the ground.
I think the other reviews mentioning this thing leaking all over the place and not really extending their drainage perhaps didn't fully "lock" the two mating pieces.
What I do know is this:
I spent a lot of time looking for something like this for solving my rain pooling and disbursement issues.
This product works exactly as I hoped it did.
The construction is such that this thing won't break apart on me.
The price is great.
After two big rain storms, I had no leaks like others mentioned, no pooling like before, and the rain dispersed as I hoped it would.
I am very happy with this product, very happy.

StealthFlow Needs Seal for Connections

100% of the water from a medium rain leaked into the mulch at the base of my house, which is exactly where I didn't want it. The product is so leaky, even a slope of 1/4" per foot wasn't enough to make it work. Repeated cleaning and reassembly didn't help.
Invisiflow needs to devise some sort of seal for the connections in the StealthFlow product and make the bottom flat and smooth so it doesn't leave standing water for mosquitos to breed in.
I thought this product would leak a little, but not this bad.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Great Product (but watch out for the extension pieces)
,PostedMay 15, 2011
This is a great product. It can be secured to the gutter with screws and the end piece is sturdy and thin as advertised. If this is all that you need, great...My problem is with the separately sold extension pieces. Unless your path slopes downward of about ten degress, the water will leak out between the junctions of the individual pieces and most of it never reach the end of the extension.
Yes, I recommend this product.

SMARTEST ON THE PLANET
,PostedMay 1, 2011
No more dumb downspout extensions that are little more than a piece of gutter. Finally someone REALLY put some thought into the design. These are great. They are adaptable to any size downspout regardless of which way it is mounted. They handle any angle and distance (with extensions) away from the downspout and can be concealed under any type of mulch. If you have a problem downspout location, these will solve it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Nice Flowerbeds!
,PostedMay 2, 2011
This product worked well to extend my downspot past my flower beds on the driveway. I really liked how easy it was to completely cover these things with mulch so you hardly see them at all. Installation was fast and easy. It took less than 5 mins per downspout (with a sawsall to cut the old downspout). There are no screws or any other hardware needed to install these. I just wish the local Home Depot store had carried these so I could have gotten them a little sooner, but ordering online took less than a week. I would highly recommend these to anyone!
Yes, I recommend this product.

don't be confused by what appear to be holes in the top, I thought it would be like a garden hose, spouting little bits up into the air, but its a plain gutter downspout extender, nothing fancy.
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Install, Easy to Work With
Yes, I recommend this product.

Ordered extensions online which was very easy. Loved the free delivery. Arrived within 2 days although was told could be 5-7 days. Worked as described, really takes gutter water away from my crawl space. Have only had them for a month but so far am very happy with product. Very hard plastic, should hold up well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I used to have had severe drainage problems with the downspout next to my frond porch, but this wonderful product fixed it! Every time it rained, there was a swimming pool next to my brick front porch. I added the StealthFlow to the downspout, and now, no matter how hard it rains, there is no water! I LOVE this product!
Yes, I recommend this product.
