 an awesome ladder January 6, 2009

This is a fantastic ladder. Very tall and stable. Having the bar at the top gives you something to lean against for support, so your legs don't start trembling from the strain of trying to balance and not fall. I find it hard to stand confidently on ladders without some sort of stabilizer at the top to lean on, and I especially hate extension ladders. The steps were wide enough to place foot securely on them (Wear rubber soled shoes, or the stairs are somewhat slick.) The top platform step is very nice and easy to stand on. It is also lightweight and easy to carry, especially with the handle lock that keeps it from opening while you are carrying it.
I also have the six foot version of this ladder for shorter applications around the house. This 8" version is for those really tall 2-story windows and cleaning tall shelves, changing some light bulbs, even cleaning gutters outside.
it is important to get the correct dimensions of this ladder to understand how it is an eight foot ladder. The top step is actually at 67", or 5'7", so that combined with average height of 5'4" person, plus the reach of your arms is how they figure it is an 8' ladder. (Even that math doesn't really tally in my head, but that is the base equation they use to determine the height they say a ladder is. This information in the product description would have been helpful to aid in selection.) I had to call the company and a lady went to the warehouse and measured it for me.
Anyway, in my opinion, you can't put a price on your health and safety. The price is very fair for the ladder to begin with, and the stability and security of having a safe ladder I can rely on makes it invaluable to me. If it saves me from even one fall off of any other type of ladder, it paid for itself 10-fold in my mind. Hope this review helps!
 Great Ladder September 13, 2007

I bought this ladder for a home with 9 foot ceilings. I did not buy a multi-use ladder because they would be too heavy for my wife.
Pro: The handle-lock makes it easy to carry. Surprisingly stable for something so light-weight. The top has two trays that make it very easy to do home-improvement projects. Great reach for indoor and outdoor projects. Excellent weight rating.
Con: One of the trays at the top has a flimsy cover. The handle-lock feels flimsy as well. Expensive.
Overall: Very usable for general home purposes. However, the price prevents it from receiving 5 stars.
