HogoR Xtend & Climb 2020 Pro Series 785P+ Tallest Telescoping Ladder, Integrated Carrying Handle, Double Overmolded Feet, Grade Aluminum Alloy, Blue 15.5ft, 2020 Model

I’ve had this ladder for about 9 months and used it 4 times so far. The ladder has some weight to it so it’s a handful when extended. Pinched my finger the first time I used it, so be careful when collapsing it. No bending when you climb up and down. As a home owner it’s probably over kill but if you are worried about safe climbing this is definitely a good choice. Keep the tubes clean so that the ladder collapses smoothly.

I've purchased a number of ladders over the years but this one checks all the boxes. I inspect houses as a professional home inspector so I need reliable tools. This ladder is great! it extends to 19 feet, it fits easily in the back of my SUV, extends and collapses easily. I highly recommend this ladder.

Real nice ladder, we have used this brand for over ten years in the inspection business

I love this ladder. I love how versatile it is in that I can extend from the top, leave some steps together, and if needed, extend from the bottom as well. The only problem I have is that the very last bottom step is extremely hard to close. Both my adult sons helped me and we had very few successful attempts at closing it. We actually have to lie down the ladder, push on the tabs and close it. It does not work if the ladder is standing. We tried releasing the pressure a bit by lifting while pushing on the tabs, but no luck. And it was almost always a 2 person job (I am female, 110 lbs), but even my adult sons had extreme trouble with it. So when I'm by myself, I have to lie it down in order to close it, so I try to avoid opening the last step. This is not always an option, since some of the roofs I inspect require the full extension. But other than that it is a great ladder.

I bought this ladder to specifically paint the inside of a two-story interior stairwell. I needed something I could maneuver in the limited space. I also wanted to purchase a quality product that wasn’t flimsy. I don’t like heights to begin with and having a ladder bounce while I’m on it makes it worse. This is good quality. It’s not for sissy’s however. For reference, I’m a small build female over 50, and average strength. When fully extending all the rungs of the ladder you have to have enough strength to push 30+ lbs straight up over your head into the air. Plus maintain control of the ladder fully extended. I could manage it, but was at the top of my range. This is not meant to be a negative. Just an fyi to smaller people. There are videos on YouTube you can watch which I felt were helpful. Read the comments on those videos and learn more sometimes than the video itself. I learned from the comments how to collapse the ladder easier than the instructions. Sometimes YouTubers don’t always have it right. I can see where people would have trouble fully collapsing the ladder if I didn’t read the comments. My hands are also smaller, so pushing the release levers were a little tricky too. But I experience this with many tools as they are manufactured for large men’s hands. This ladder is so much easier to transport and store. I will be buying the storage bag for it. It is a keeper for sure. It won’t replace all my ladders, but for those special occasions it is worth it.
