These Little Giant ladders are fantastic, except for weight - a bit on the heavy size for the height offered. My biggest problem is manufacturers that have multiple products that can be confusing and important differences that are not readily determined in their photos and advertising. I had to rent a 19 foot Little Giant STEP LADDER to replace a 20 foot ceiling fan/light. It was great. I felt I needed one for myself. I thought this was the same thing - it is not - this is a 12 foot STEP LADDER/ 19 foot EXTENSION LADDER COMBO not a 19 foot STEEP LADDER ONLY. I was expecting to use it as a 19 foot STEP LADDER same as the one I rented. So it is worthless for my original intent. It is a very nice 12 foot step ladder but I did not get what I thought I was ordering. I had to look at the diagrams pasted on the ladder to figure out what was wrong. It was only then that I realized the ladder had to be extended out flat to reach 19 feet and then was only 19 foot as a EXTENSION LADDER and could only go to 12 feet as a STEP LADDER. Nasty surprise. I feel poor advertising and presentation by Little Giant to only show it as a step ladder and advertise it as 19 foot. This was not the same 19 foot Little Giant product I had rented. Too difficult to return, but a nice enough ladder I kept it.
Just what I needed, a ladder that would work on stairs and uneven surfaces, Easy to use, a little on the heavy side , but necessary for a sturdy ladder. Would not make lighter for less stability.
My husband and I love this ladder. Him, because it can do so many things. Me, because it is SAFE! We have several ladders and I am always afraid when he uses them. Not with this one! It even comes with a DVD to show how to use it. Great Offer Stock shipped this speedy quick. I ordered it Saturday and had it by Wednesday!
This is the second Alta-One ladder that I have purchased. I purchased the first one about ten years ago and have been so pleased with it that I purchased this one for a family member who liked mine. This ladder is outstanding. Don't waste your time with the look-a-likes, they are not the same quality.
This ladder takes the place of at least 3 that I own or borrow. My many palms have gotton so tall it is a chore to reach them for trimming without risking my life. This ladder converts from small A frame to a large 22 foot extension ladder. The wide base and top help keep it stable and capture the palm at the top. The locks are easy to use and very secure. It is not quite as stiff as a typical extension ladder 22 feet long but felt stable and secure fully extended. I can use this inside or out, short or tall, A frame or extension and store it in the corner collapsed to its smallest settings.
Purchased this ladder for the scaffold feature. Works great for painting. No more trying to balance paint and body on a regular ladder. Plan to purchase work table attachment for ladder.
I needed a taller ladder to paint my 12 ft. ceilings and this did the trick. The ladder is everything I expected and gets the job done. It is heavier than I thought it would be, however. I have a shorter "Gorilla" ladder which is a cheeper knock-off of the Litte Giant and the two are very comparable. The Little Giant, while taller, is still a little lighter than the Gorilla. Just not a light as I was hoping. It is easy to set up (A-frame) but a bit awkward to meneuver. I see the newest model has wheels and that probably address this concern. Still it is very sturdy and I would not have been able to finish my paining without it.
This ladder is extremely safe and easy to use. It has many different positions as a step ladder and extension ladder. I bought this with the wall standoff which works great for gutter cleaning. The ladder is very stable in all positions and I highly recommend it. It is a little difficult for me to manage on my own when it is in the extension position but is not too heavy for me to move it around in its various step ladder configurations.
We needed a ladder to get to the gutters on our two story home. We had a 24' XXXXXX aluminum ladder that did not provide a very stable feeling when up that high. We saw the Little Giant Xtreme ladder at a local XXXXXXX, but didn't want to pay the $XXX. So, we found this one for a lot less and were able to purchase accessories. We purchased the leg leveler and also the stabilizer. What a difference! I felt very comfortable and stable on the ladder when fully extended. I could not be more pleased with my purchase.
This is an excellent quality ladder. It feels much more safe at full extension as well as full A-frame than many other ladders. Light enough to carry alone, but heavy enough that you won't tip it easily. Change light bulbs in stairways, clean ceiling fans 15' in the air, access second story roofs, and store it in a closet. With one or two of the platform accessories, this system is hard to beat.
Great product...a little heavy, but still an exceptional ladder. Can't imagine needing another ladder, this one does it all!
It is a bit hard to handle by one person only if you are not very strong. Other than that product arrived very timely and non damaged. Very sturdy and stable ladder with excellent quality
The ladder has very nice features. It feels solid and sturdy when it is use. Not so easy to adjust the height it requires a lot of power and muscle! My only concern with the ladder is its weight. Quite heavy and requires two people to adjust it. Do not expect one person operation for settings.
Love this ladder ..we had borrowed one and after using we knew we had to have one of our own
My son needed something versatile and sturdy. He's a tall guy and weighs roughly 225. Regular ladders, no matter what type are shaky. This one is sturdy, solid and there are no worries when he uses it. Would highly recommend. Not to mention its adjustable!!1
This has been very handy around the home and camper. There are times when I needed a ladder for different heights, it works great.. My only complaint is the foot rungs could be wider. The ladder doesn't twist or bend like the cheap ladders. Spend the money, you'll be happy with the ladder the longer you have it.. I recommend the 19', because there will be times that you would wish for the extra footage and you'll have it.
I ordered the ladder so I could paint 12' walls and ceilings. It definitely does the job. This is a strong ladder. It can be moved by one person, but be warned, it is heavy and can be a little awkward to move. I would've given it five stars but each step is very narrow when not doubled up as a step ladder. I strongly recommend buying the mounting platform.
Very versatile. Just a little awkward to move around. We have used this for years. It’s high quality and will be with us for a long time. I recommend it.
I bought this ladder as a gift for my husband. He does a lot of outside projects often by himself. I wanted this ladder for the ease of use and safety features. This ladder is a great product. It is large enough he only needs one ladder and light enough he has no problems manipulating it by himself.
I already had another Little Giant for about 10 years and it never failed me. An unfortunate accident caused it to be damaged, [ since I am not in business anymore] I debated replacing the ladder, then I realized how useful it was around the house, so I ordered a new one. The delivery was quick, the packaging excellent, the price great.
