I needed a ladder that would enable me to reach light fixtures on a 10 ft ceiling and would be transportable in my car. This ladder fit the bill. It worked perfectly well when I first used it but when I took it out to use about a month later, a small piece broke off one of the rungs. It was a week past the Amazon return period so I reached out to the seller. I explained this situation and sent a photo. They concluded it couldn't be fixed so they sent a replacement that I received the following week. Their communication on the matter was very quick and they sent follow ups to ensure I knew the status of the shipment. As with all these types of ladders, you need to be careful when opening (ensure all locks click into place) and closing (hold up the rung above as you unlock the rung below). I already had a 12 ft extendable ladder (used for cleaning gutters); none of these will be as steady as a "non-collapsible" ladder (at this weight) so you need care in climbing.

I'll start by saying that being in the HVAC industry, I'm used to using the heavy 28 foot orange extension ladders, but after my shoulder surgery I needed something that I could carry, set up, and use with primarily one arm.This is definitely the ladder I needed to get me up on those 1 story buildings during my recovery.The pros: Lightweight, easy to extend and retract, long enough to safely get on houses and 1 story buildings, good stable footings, and it also gets me up into high places above drop ceilings that I wouldn't be able to reach from a step ladder or a lift.Cons: Has too much flex like a curved bow when fully extended. I weigh only 175 pounds + 20 pounds of tools.The rungs are slightly too far apart. A normal step ladder and extension ladder will have 12 inches between. This one is closer to 14 inches between each rung.In conclusion, I would say that this is perfect for home use.Great for occasional use in a trade.Great value for the price.I would not recommend for someone over 200 pounds. Too much flex.

Put this to use the same day I got it to get in to an attic. So much easier to maneuver down the hallway and I adjusted it first to remove the ceiling panel and then could extend it through the access hole to make it safer to climb up. Collapses quickly when done and takes up so little space.

The hole in my ceiling is too small to install an attic drop down, so this is the perfect solution. It’s small enough to store in the house and out of the way, and I have simple attic access whenever I need it. I’m thrilled. You do have to make sure that it’s leaning on one of the cross pieces and that it’s not crooked at all, or it will wobble and bow a little (since aluminum is pretty bendy). Otherwise it is sturdy.

I'm not even close to the weight rating for this ladder but after maybe 5 or 10 uses one of the rungs collapsed on one side while I was climbing it. Thankfully I have quick reflexes, it seems, because I jumped off and wasn't hurt but it could have ended differently. The pins were locked in on the rungs so I'm assuming that one of the pins failed but its difficult to tell without tearing it apart. I contacted the company to ask for a new one, although I question whether I want to use another one of these, or a refund and while they responded initially, presumably to meet Amazon's response time requirements, they asked that we communicate off the platform and that I send them a video showing the issue. I did but that was probably a month ago and they haven't responded since.Also, as others have noted, you also need watch your fingers when collapsing the rungs! You definitely need to push the release latch on one side in, hold the rung that you are collapsing, and then push the release latch on the other side. If you push them both at the same time, the rung will slam shut on the one below it. When you push the first release latch in it won't feel as if it has disengaged but it has.It seems like these no name brand telescoping ladders are kind of a commodity item on Amazon so I doubt this issue is specific to this seller but I'll spend the extra money and get a name brand one next time.

It is sturdy even fully extended. It is very compact when collapsed and easy to store. Very good value for the money.

Latter is Not too stable or feels Safe to climb. It Shakes alot while climbing and also flexes like if it were to be bent. I way 220 pounds and latter's weight limit states above 300 pounds
