These are designed to spray the water around the foundation in a wide
pattern rather then pour in a sheet. The problem I see is the water is
still falling around the foundation and may cause water problems in the
basement. One function of a gutter is to carry water away from the
foundation. Just guessing, but this would probably be worse than no
gutters at all. By spraying the water around the foundation I'd imagine
water has more time to soak into the ground.
