I've been in need of a new step ladder for some time but I can't decide what model or size. My old one of 30-some years is wooden and is getting rickety and splintery and covered with paint stains. Then recently, I was strolling through my local Costco Warehouse store and found a display of these little 5-foot ladders. It wasn't what I wanted, but it certainly looked like a handy thing to have around the house. Another impulse item gets added to the shopping cart.

This Cosco latter has proved to be quite handy. It's very light and easy to handle, yet it's sturdy and stable. It has rubber footpads so my new floors won't be damaged. It has a convenient top shelf which will hold paint cans, tools, etc. A feature that I really like is that the third step is a sturdy platform that both holds the ladder together but also can serve as a standing platform. This platform is more stable than standing on the third step of a conventional step ladder. I find that I can stand and work easily and the ladder remains completely stable. (For safety, I usually hold onto something with one hand.) In our house, that allows me to work on the highest objects without many problems. I'm probably still going to get a full-sized step ladder, but this little 5-footer is a real convenient and nicely designed piece of equipment to have around the house. I'm delighted with it!

I love this ladder. It's so light and easy to carry around. I use it to clean hard to reach places in my house.

This step ladder was a great gift for an elderly woman with a little balance problem. Very light for carrying.

I'm disabled and, at 73, have a justifiable fear of falling. This is lightweight, essential for me to carry it, and is stable enough I'm not afraid to use it for, say, changing a lightbulb. It would never have satisfied me in earlier years, but I've spent enough time in hospitals for a while. There are times my step stool just doesn't satisfy, and I have no idea where my son put my bigger ladder--probably couldn't handle it now anyway. BTW, don't want to make others my age feel I am denigrating abilities of aging. But I'm on oxygen, have had osteoporosis breaks but like living on my own.

I am so impressed with the features of this 8# Ladder.

I use it to wax my RV and clean the windshield and all windows of my

class A motorhome.

How easy can it get and it fits in my basement storage area.

Any questions?

My wife bought one of these ladders a while ago and we love it. It's super lightweight, sturdy (rated for 225 lbs), and very easy to fold and unfold even with one hand. The top step is large (goes across both legs) so there's plenty of room to stand or to put things like tools or cans of paint.

When we visited my mom for Christmas she was complaining about her clunky, heavy ladders so we bought one for her. She thinks its great. She says that every time she uses it she thinks of us. So if you want your mom to think fondly of you every time she uses a ladder, this is the one to get.
