5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Quality and Best Price on the WWW, June 16, 2007

By	M. Farrell "deltaxray77" (usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased the 12.5 ft. 225lb. model for my father 2 years ago for Christmas. Bought that one on Ebay for $179. After seeing the quality of his, I always thought I would like to have one for myself. Since I am 6'1, and around 205lbs., when I saw this model, which I think is new, at $199 at Amazon, sold by Target, I just had to go for it. I liked the 250lb. rating, and also the extra 3ft. of height. It is a little heavier than the 12.5ft. model, but if you need a little extra height it is a better deal. If you are under 200lbs., and don't need the extra height, you may want to just purchase the 12.5ft., 225lb. rated model. It will be lighter to carry around. In any case, with both of these models, be careful when extending, and especially make sure you keep your fingers out from between the steps when releasing each section to bring it down. It will definitely pinch your fingers real bad! Aside from that, it is a great alternative to a full blown extension ladder. When fully collapsed it takes up very little room, and it's great to have if you have a two story home, or anything else that requires more than a step ladder to get the job done. In my opinion the Xtend&Climb products are superior to the Telesteps line in quality and construction.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Idea....Very Difficult, July 12, 2008

By	M. Wright "& Bob the Builder" (N the Country) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In the construction business for 45 years. I can raise a 30 foot ladder by myself and need help extending and retracting this one. Latches are difficult to push and raise at the same time. When closing the parts move too fast to get fingers out of the way completely. GREAT CONCEPT.... just needs refining.

3.0 out of 5 stars Telescoping Ladder, June 1, 2009

By	Theodore Statler "Colorado Papa" (Colorado Springs, Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Thirty six pounds doesn't sound like much, but for an 80 year old trying to extend it isn't easy. This seems like a heavy duty ladder, but not for home use. I find it difficult to use for only 8-10 feet. If you extend it from the top section, then you have the lower portion still blocked. If you extend it from the bottom, you need to raise all that weight. Also not easy to retract since the weight binds the catches. On second thought, I'd give this item only two stars.
