LUISLADDERSTelescoping Ladder, 8.5 FT One-Button Retraction Aluminum Extension Ladder Telescopic Collapsible Ladder, Slow Down Design Multi-Purpose Extendable Ladder for Home RV, 330 Lb Capacity

The media could not be loaded.  I REALLY wanted to love this ladder. Given the high cost of these extension-style of ladders, I was really hoping that this one would be heavy duty, reliable, and well-constructed. To be honest, weight was not my primary concern with the ladder, as I would much rather have a heavier ladder if that translated into a safer ladder.Upon receipt, it was apparent that this ladder had some weight to it, but not necessarily in a bad way. The click down red tabs are nice and provide a good visual indicator that the ladder is (or isn't) locked in place. To be honest, I appreciate that feature more than the small cutout green indicators seen on some other models. The ladder has some, but not too much flex when in use, and to be honest I'm okay with that ("what doesn't bend, breaks", after all).Now to the not so great.... There are two primary issues I ran into with this ladder.1. There are plastic clips on either side of the ladder, which secure each telescoping section of tube to the next section. These are grasped when extending the ladder. It wasn't until after I tried out the ladder for the first time that I realized that one of the lock nuts was missing on one of these tabs. Another one of the tabs had a stripped nut/screw, as can be seen towards the end of the video I shared. Not the most confidence-instilling quality control when you consider you will be around 10 feet above the ground when fully extended.2. The second issue (and perhaps a more serious one) was related to the "locking" and "collapsing" features. This is a bit tricky to explain, but can be seen in the first half of my video. The red tabs of the ladder I received were not extending all the way out. It was only when you had extended two sections upwards that the tabs would then click into place. When you are supposed to use these tabs as a visual indicator that it is safe to use the ladder, it is a serious safety shortcoming to have these not fully extend. Presumably related to this tab issue was an issue with the collapsing function (also in the video). When you attempt to collapse the ladder, some sections become fully collapsed; however, every 2 or 3 sections will only collapse halfway. When this happens, you need to depress the two buttons from two rungs lower in order to get the ladder to collapse.Again, I had very high hopes for this ladder, but sadly, it did not live up to mu quality and safety expectations. I ended up finding a secondhand, name brand extension ladder and am quite shocked at the impressive quality and construction. Despite the high price tag, I would strongly suggest looking at some of the more expensive, name-brand offerings for extension ladders. However, if you do opt for this ladder (or a similar style), PLEASE make sure to inspect the ladder fully before and during each use.

I was tired of always looking for a ladder to get to the roof of my camper or just to look at the top of my slide out. This ladder is so light and easy to use. I can store it in the back of my pick up that I pull the camper with. It would also fit in the storage compartment of the camper. It was a great buy.

Looks exactly like the picture. Works well. Seems to be sturdy enough for a 120 lb woman that’s 5 ft tall. Really good price on sale Black Friday.My neighbor did say he wouldn’t trust it . He said it didn’t seem stable enough and he liked the ladders that made V.I do to but this is a ladder and it works well enough to get me on top of my RV. Whole reason I got it.

My telescoping ladder just arrived and I did some initial testing with it. I can’t speak to long term durability, nor can I speak to heavy use wear and tear.My purpose for this ladder is simply to provide easy access to my shed loft while giving me the ability to toss up a light ladder for quick up and down projects. I have a Harbor Freight Vulcan ladder, but that’s fairly heavy. If I just need to hop up on the roof to clean gutters, I’d rather not have to drag that thing across my yard and unfold it.My initial testing has been as follows:1. Setup and takedown are as easy as can be. It’s simple to configure the height of the ladder to suit your needs (up to 10’).2. The weight of this ladder is very manageable. At 20 lbs, anybody should be able to place this just where they want it without difficulty.3. Function is where this ladder starts to underperform. If the ladder is completely vertical (say going up to an attic or a loft) and your weight is completely vertical, the ladder is quite sturdy. The farther off vertical you get, the more this ladder flexes. I placed the ladder against one of my trees and began to climb up and found that about half way up, the ladder began to flex quite a bit. That does not bode well for long term durability. The good news for me is that I kinda figured that would be the case and will be using this ladder mostly in a completely vertical orientation.Overall this is a convenient option for situations where you can keep the ladder vertical and secure it from the top. As a ladder you plan on leaning against things and standing on for long periods of time, I’m guessing it will bend and fail over time. As long as you know what you’re getting, you should be able to make an informed choice.

Was skeptical, but it's actually quite sturdy. I'd only worry about it slipping out due to the wrong pitch, but I think if I get a little rug under its feet I can fix that. Quite happy with it...hope it lasts a long time. FYI: Much lighter than my Little Gia...but again, we're not comparing apples to apples.

Stores easily between my couch and the wall. I live in a Tiny House, so room for a ladder to reach upper storage areas was minimal. This really fit the bill. It collapses slowly so no squished fingers.

I want a 12 foot ladder and I want the lightest one I can find. It’s strange but the people who sell ladders seem to assume that you have the upper body strength and a back in really good shape, and that it shouldn’t matter to you how much your ladder weighs. Where is for me it is the most important because my wife had an injured back, and she’s not that strong. So you can imagine how nice it was to find a 17 pound ladder for her, and how disappointed she was when it was more than 7 pounds heavier than advertised.If anybody knows of a 17 pound ladder which is 12 feet tall feel free to say so in the comments.

It is way better than lugging a full sized ladder on camping trips. It is light weight, extends quickly and easily and is sturdy when in use. (Do exercise care when collapsing. You will only pinch a finger once!)I recommend getting one that is at least 2’ taller than your RV. Makes it so much easier (and safer) to get on/off the roof.

Exactly what we were looking for being pensioners and limited room to get a ladder was difficult now we have the telescope ladder it's great plus we can carry it any place we want.Fantastic buy.
