    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersLove how easy to put away this is and how small and compact it is, yet once it’s extended out full size, it’s really solid and works well. Definitely recommend.

    You can use this device to reach high places, as if you were really tall.

    Relatively light weight easy to use. They flex more than normal rigid ladders but that must be expected

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersEasy to use. Feels sturdy. Very compact. Easy to store and transport.
    Downsides. When you’ve extended halfway to the height you need there can be rungs left at the bottom. When you pick it up to move it along it starts unlocking at the bottom. This can be a pain. It doesn’t happen when you are using it, only if you move it. Plus there could be a fair height to step up if its not fully extended.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis product feels super cheap and wobbly and is terrifying to use… however, it hasn’t broken… yet. So is probably ok. Probably ok however is not what you want when you’re 3 meters off the ground. I like that it is compact and packs down and I guess for the price is what you would expect and fairly good value.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGood ladder. Havent had long though. Says dont stand on top three rungs which is bit lame. Listen to people saying watch your fingers. I have caught mine. Its kinda wierd because using the catch to unlock a rung will allow the rung to go down around 80% only. Then the rest you get down by unlocking the latche one more down which will then drop two rungs – the previous rung the last 20% and the lower rung its 80%. Your expecting one rung to drop but 2 do. This is how you catch ya fingers! Otherwise ive found this to do very well as a loft specific ladder where i am not able to install a ‘proper’ loft ladder as the loft opening is too narrow.

    Sturdy at low level, but slightly less sr 4mtrs
    Good value/ Compact when stored

    Delivery was swift, product was nicely packed. Have used outdoor few times at about 60 percent of its full height, it feels reliable and steady on the ground. Adjusting height up or down is a bit difficult for lone user but not different from similar products in the same category. Product is great value for money.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersGreat 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.

    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.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI’d seen many people using this type of ladder and wanted one but not at a horrific cost. This ticked the boxes. It’s a well made, sturdy ladder. It’s not for ” professional ” use as I think for that you would need to pay more and get a better grade but for domestic use and lighter work jobs it’s ideal. Easy to extend, lots of different heights, it really is proving to be versatile. The fact it squashes down to minimal size means it stores quickly and easily.
    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!

    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!

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI 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.

    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 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.

    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 .

    Golden Review Award: 98 From Our UsersThe product is heavy and seems to be of good quality – it does wobble as you would expect from a telescopic ladder but not as bad as I thought it would have.
    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.

    4.0 out of 5 stars DOES WHAT IT SAYS

    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.

    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

    Golden Review Award: 16 From Our UsersPurchased this ladder because it can be used as a straight ladder or as a step ladder. There are comments about its weight and it might benefit from a set of retractable wheels, however I don’t believe that the weight is excessive and have found it to be easy to move around while painting ceilings and walls.
    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.

    Golden Review Award: 35 From Our UsersLadder arrived today and was I impressed with how robust the item was. It does feel a little heavy but this is a large ladder that reaches 5M. Have practiced using he ladder, takes a little while to get the hang of things but all worked OK. As posted for other telescopic ladders you need to care when folding the ladder to ensure your fingers do not get trapped. As already stated the ladder is heavy at 19.5KG and will therefore fold quicker than you may expect! All that said once practiced at using the ladder I think it is a quality well made item. Does not occupy loads of space in the garage either. Will use to paint the outside of the house over the coming weeks, will let you know how it all goes.
