4.0 out of 5 stars Very handy, August 23, 2005

By	Steven Coallier "cptmystic" (San Mateo, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this through Amazon.com because I could not find it at ANY of the local dealers that the manufacturer's site said carried it. I would say a few things about it:
1. It's much heavier than I expected
2. You CAN pinch your fingers when you're closing it, contrary to the mechanism that "guarantees" you can't. Be careful.
3. It's a hair flimsy, but supports my 190 lbs. happily.
4. The bottom seems like it could have been made with a little softer material, so that it would grip the ground even better. I was pretty nervous using it on a hardwood floor.
5. It's a fantastic product and I have already recommended it several times. It was the envy of my coworkers when it showed up at my office!
6. I think it's a bit cheap that the carrying case is not included.
Now I will spend the rest of my days climbing up and down things in and around my house!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ladder works well., April 20, 2006

By	Len "10101" (Bayside, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This ladder does just what it is supposed to. But watch those hands when closing up the ladder! Some Home Depot stores sell it for less. Shoppers should be aware that the first ladder like this, the Telesteps, was and is still being made in Sweden. But most "Telesteps" being marketed in the US are not; they are sourced from China, just like the Xtend.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not reliable, all parts not available, May 15, 2009

By	Michael S. Moreno (Lake Charles, LA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have the 15.5 ft, heavy duty model. This ladder started out great. Within 8-10 uses it did not open and close very well. The ladder would not lock properly without effort to make sure each pin was properly seated. My real problem came after about 20 uses when one of the locking mechanisms came apart. The leg will no longer lock at all. The company does not offer a replacement for this part (even though it is easily removed), therefore I am stuck with an almost new ladder that I can't use. I think it would make a good ladder for a homeowner who will not use it often and can be very careful with it. Even though I was extremely careful transporting it I believe that is how it was damaged. I think the locking mechanism was hit during transportation. The design of the thumb lever can be hit easily. The ladder is not designed well enough for medium duty use, only light use.
