Better than expected
Since some of the ladders were a lot more expensive, I wasn't sure how this one would be. However, I was pleasantly surprised after receiving it. Setting it up was relatively easy, and used it in a stairwell with no trouble.

Love it. Light, strong, versatile
Great for apartment or townhouse use. We used it to paint a room and now have it neatly tucked away in a closet. Excellent product.

Got the Job Done
This ladder is fairly light-weight considering its size and is easy to adjust. The steps can be uncomfortable to stand on without shoes, or with thin-soled shoes, because they are so narrow. When next to a wall, I've cautiously stood on the very top step. It didn't slide, even on my hardwood floors. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase.

Not an extension ladder
I bought this ladder (a longer version) because I needed something I could use in a stair well, and the price beat Little Giant by a long margin. As a step ladder or adjustable stair ladder I was pleased enough. Then I decided to try it out as an extension ladder. BIG MISTAKE! I had it extended the full length so I could get up to cut a branch off of a tree.
With the base of the ladder planted firmly on the ground at the proper distance away and leaning on the very large trunk, up I went. As I stood stood there (5 rungs down from the top) making my cut, I felt a shift, so I looked at the ladder. The top extension was bending and was in the process of separating from the lower section. This ladder is rated for 300 pounds and I weigh 190. I started down and the ladder shifted again throwing me off balance and as I tumbled my leg got caught and I ended up suspended upside down by my now very damaged leg. When I freed myself I saw that both the top and bottom extensions had bent and that one of the locking pins had snapped off.
No way is this safe as an extension ladder, and it should not be marketed as such.
I was lucky that I was not injured worse than the cuts and deep bruises I suffered on my leg.
I can't speak for the Little Giant or Gorilla ladders, but i suggest that you DO NOT use this ladder as an extension.
