Certainly useful, sturdy and lightweight. Easy to carry to where you need it. No cumbersome length to manoeuvre around. My difficulty is arthritis makes difficulty closing it dow
Great idea, decent price, but once ladders are extended its really hard to lower, two people required, felt safe to use, climbing wise, even at top, happy with ladders when used as steps, once again, hard to lower down back into storage position, two person job again.
A well made and sturdy design with a pleasing weight which inspires it to be used in areas that other ladders would be dangerous to use.
I like it can be used as extension to 5m or as free stand up option. Heavy, but strong
Easy to store, easy to move around, easy to use, and it’s safe to use.
Looks and feel sturdy, BUT, a little worried on several matters;
1) The instructions are difficult to read (type face is very small) and a diagram unclear, plus it appears the translation, from presumably Chinese, is literal so again a bit confusing at times.
2) A set on wheels came with the kit but no instructions.
3) A couple of user instructions do not correlate to actual practise.
A bit difficult to get used to it, but it does the job. Good quality, I recommend.
Very glad I purchased this item has made life a lot easier than useing my old ladder easy to carry easy to store away
Folds up nice and small, but is a very tall ladder at the same time, easy to use and store, great for tall ceilings for painting or changing lightbulbs
Very pleased with the product.
Very useful for jobs around the home.
Comes in a number of sizes to sort most needs
Very lightweight, easy to use, Doesn’t take up much room in our Shed. Very Sturdy when fully extended.
Great product delivering value for money. It’s not as sturdy as a conventional ladder but seems safe. Great to reach high places and loft. Best of all, it collapses to 75cm and can be stored in cupboard for immediate access and use. It’s heavy but that’s expected given the materials used. Highly recommend it.
If I had one minor recommendation, it would be that the feet were ” adjustable “. They are non slip but don’t pivot to match the floor level so in some instances the whole foot isn’t on the ground. Technically speaking when fully extended you should have someone footing the ladder anyway but just an observation to turn this from a good product to a great produc
These are very strong and sturdy when up, very surprised how good they are. But, when putting them down they will have your fingers off if you give them a chance.
Good ladder with lots of good uses.
It can be a little difficult to extend or collapse on your own to best to have someone help with it.
Also, when used as an A frame it is only stable when used at full extension of 2.5m. (When the rungs aren’t extended and locked in to place they can move when means the ladder can fall over).
It’s a great asset to our ladder collection!
These are good and sturdy for the loft and getting on top of caravan for cleaning gutters a little les sturdy once fully extended but I never need that height good size for storage but take care when collapsing ,not a problem just a small warning .
This is easy to use solid ladder the pictures on the site do not do it justice the ladder is sturdy big pice of kit you can use it for so many different uses its so versatile but it’s more solid than you can imagine
Great value for money
Easy use collapsable ladder. Bought to go into loft but can be used anywhere
Very sturdy,I was surprised how heavy they where but to be honest I would rather they be heavy sturdy than a lot of the
Flimsy alternatives on the marke
Good all round product, very sturdy and easy to use…great value for money
Just what I needed and arrived much earlier than stated
Very sturdy, easy to use and versatile. Easy to store.
Super ladder in all respects. Very easy to use and long enough for me to reach my gutters, on a two storey house. Small enough when closed to put in the boot of my car. Overall I’m very happy with this purchase and I paid a good price also, much cheaper than any store here in Dublin. Recommended!
Not the easiest ladder to use but the most versatile. It takes up very little space when stored. Practice before you use. Make sure locks are engaged before getting on ladder. As long as you check all the locks are engaged, you will discover it’s the best ladder for your home.
Bit heavier than I thought they would be but great you can use them as step ladders as well as conventional ladders
The ladder is a very sturdy item, but it is heavy to lift if you happen to be an older person. Fortunately the supplier provides a pair of casters that can be fitted to the stabiliser bar and this makes it easier to move around. It is a little tricky extending the ladder rung by rung but I found that this is best done with the ladder on its side. I believe the ladder is well made and worth the 90 I paid.
I like these ladders, versatile , good height, easy to use and takes up little space when folded down. Locking action seems safe and reliable. Gave it 4 stars as it can be a bit wobbly at full height however having said that I’ve used them fully extended and did not have a problem.
I needed this product to do some roof repair work. This works well as a step ladder or plain ladder but I needed to get up to my chimney over a pan tile roof. I wanted something more versatile and adaptable than a ridge ladder and this product worked better than expected. The central hinge locks at a good range of angles which allowed this to anchor very safely over the ridge of the roof. As a ladder (both halves end to end) it does flex more than a conventional ladder at the full five metre height which means you are pressed close to the wall surface if working at the top, that’s ok for brief jobs but I wouldn’t recommend it for sustained working. At shorter lengths it is very sturdy. There have been a few negative reviews on here critical of the safety of this product but with a bit of common sense and an appreciation that any scaffold equipment carries some element of risk, in the right hands it is quite safe.
Should have had on before, so easy to use & can get to places so easily.
It’s compact and height ajustable. Can be straight or A frame and can cooe with stairs. It is quite heavy but that makes it sturdy and extending or collapsing it I find needs 2 people. Dies everything I need from it though.
A very useful ladder that requires only small storage space
A easy to use and store ladder.
One word of advice is to read the instructions carefully as when you recollapse this ladder each rung section collapses very quickly.If your fingers are in the way,they would be at the very least crushed.
The advantage of this ladder is you can use it for any height up to it’s maximum.It is not heavy and can be stored easily.
Higher quality than expected. It’s a one ladder that does all. Well worth it.
A great pair of folding ladder does the great
Thanks
Really pleased with this ladder. Itbis extremely versatile and can be used as a step ladder or one long 5 metre ladder. It seems to be solid and designed well and feels like good quality. When folded down it is very compact so it’s very easy to store. Great buy.
good, just watch your fingers when you put it dow
Really great product. We use for getting into the loft and also great for cleaning an outdoor canopy.
Not an engineer nor some one that uses ladders regularly but surely the must have won design awards,no storage or carrying problems.Totally excellent!
Oh!and the price!love it!
Easy to carry and use wherever needed. It can stored anywhere & save lots spaces.
Good quality for the price although tricky and slightly dangerous to fold dow
Took a whole for me to purchase this product, I read all the reviews and though what the hell, closest I could get on other sites/shops was 30.plus more, definitely worth the money and so so easy to use, worse thing is now I have no excuses for going those hard to reach jobs
Great product. Compact and easy to use. Reaches areas that I want to get to
It is very good as the ladder is telescopic ,so it is compact and doesn’t take up much space in garage when not in use.
Very pleased with the ladders. Take a bit of getting used to, putting them up and down but each time I use them it gets easier. The instructions are very poor though.
bought these for painting , they are so much better than conventional ladders because you can drop them down to a smaller size for manoeuvring round to next spot , so no bumping holes in walls with them etc , they collapse down small enough for storage and moving them , when sitting on the very top (2.5 m up) they are stable and i don’t worry about standing on the top with a tin of paint in one hand etc … the best bit is definitely the versatility .
Great price only used a couple times so this is a part review but so far look and work as they should.
Like that they are easy to store. My husband uses them to get up in the loft and also to put out outside Christmas Decorations up.
This is great for getting into the loft. Sturdy and it’s packs away nicely. You need to be careful not to trap your fingers when unlocking and locking each rung of the ladders
Excellent for use with Motorhome or Boat! Easily transported for those quick jobs. Good value for a good product.
For space saving storage it’s fantastic, takes some time getting used to but worth it.Also very amusing watching someone working out how to use it for the first time.
When your up top and you look down you see a big bow in the middle which is a bit unnerving but feels solid enough. I weigh around 76Kg and you can see the bow in the pictures.
Been using this for a few weeks. On the whole, the ladders are exactly what I needed. Nice and compact when not in use, but practical and reasonably sturdy in both A Frame and Extended ladder configuration (although I have yet to use them fully extended)
These are quite heavy, but that’s just inevitable as part of the telescopic design, so not a complaint – just an observation. Takes a bit of dexterity to extend, and pack away again, partly because of the weight and partly because of needed to hold both catches in each rung when putting it away. But again, that’s not a complaint – its just a part of the necessary design, and a bit of practice doing it makes it easier.
All in all a good product. But if you don’t want something heavy or that’s a bit fiddly just go for a standard A frame or extendable ladder and accept the storage downsides.
I Will use this ladder to access the roof of my caravan. Very good size to store. only problem is to secure unused steps when moving position.
Having extended the ladder partially, attempts to pick it up and move it to position it can lead to further extension occurring. If the strap had a bit more velcro on this could be avoided or just extend the bottom rungs rather than the top ones… (unextended rungs increase the step height obviously, so you probably want those at the top where you aren’t stepping anyway!)
Easy to Carry.
little bit awkward to put into ladder form & put down after.
Perfect for mobile use – fits into a small car boot. I use mine for boarding a yacht which is ashore. Excellent quality and value. Meets all the standards. Highly recommended.
Easily to store, light and stable. They give me a chance to get up a clear the guttering etc, without having to carry un-widley ladders about. Very easily transported inside the car/ truck and dont take any space up in the garage.
Definitely what I wanted when ordering a ladder the only thing wrong was it had some screws missing but after contacting the seller he offered to refund the cost of the screws or send out replacement ones which we were happy with not easy to set up but once you done it a few times you get the hang of i
There are so many many parts that it does take a while to erect. You can do it on your own, but it is probably quicker with two people. Where this ladder really comes into its own is when its folder and the small space it occupies!
It is heavy and I guess you would want a ladder to be sturdy, but that being said, it is also very portable.
Heavy to move around when it’s folded , foot of the ladder was hard to screw and aline the holes . But just what we needed for our needs .
fantastic ladders, does the job, but can do with more strength to control the flex, but that’s totally on the locked ring when it folds.
The ladder is very sturdy, particularly as a step ladder but in my opinion it doesn’t work quite as well as a staight ladder as it does tend to bow a little. I have no qualms about using it fully extended as a step ladder and have used it as a straight ladder three quarters extended, but because of teh bowing I’m not sure that I would be so comfortable using it at full extension as a straight ladder, even though I am sure it would be safe.
Until you get used to the opperation it is easy to get your fingers caught when folding the ladder down as the steps only lock into place when they are extended. It would be nice if you could lock them in place when concertenered down too as it would make folding it down a little easier.
That said this is a great purchase and I am very pleased with it and I would hesitate to recommend it to other people.
