Customer Reviews for VEVOR Telescoping Extension Ladder 16.5FT Multi-button Retraction 419 LBS

The ladder fits in my small truck bed. I'm not stuck with the typical extension the would stick out of the gate. It so compact I get all my tools in at once. I've used this ladder on many job sites. It's the best investment for me. The perfect boost for it's size.

Ladder works well, much lighter than the A frame ladder i have used to reach my roof. So far, the extension and retraction mechanism has worked smoothly. I understood that the top of the ladder had a hook on each side, mine came with no hooks? What happened? They would be very useful for securing the ladder on tree branches and some roofs. Otherwise, I would give the ladder a 5 rating.

This ladder is great, light and very sturdy. Very easy to move around I have already suggested to friends it would be well worth the money for them to get one I purchased the 18.5 ft

I was looking for a well made, durable, collapsible, extension ladder with a good weight rating capacity. I did some online searching and eventually found this Vevor ladder. It's the perfect extension length for my "homeowner" needs. This ladder/company had good reviews from many who purchased one. I also have standard extension ladders as well. I have 28ft and 40ft ladders, which are too long and not easily maneuvered into tight areas. I've used this ladder several times now and have become accustomed to operating it and using it as it was designed to be utilized. This ladder is very well designed, heavy duty aluminum alloys, and very user friendly. The dual "one button" latching mechanisms are well thought out and easily actuated. It took me a few operations to become familiar with the method of collapsing the ladder when done with it. Pushing one button on the left side allows the ladder to disengage that side and move down away from the latch mechanism. Then pushing the button on the right side, while holding the ladder section with the left hand allows the right side to disengage and let the ladder section collapse into the section below it. You need to hold the ladder and move your hands above the section so you don't pinch hands/fingers. After a couple operations, you get the hang of it. It works very well, and as long as you're aware of the method, it's very easy and efficient. The ladder I purchased is about 18 ft. extended, and weighs about 39 pounds. The Velcro type nylon strap holds the ladder sections together when transporting, very well. I can easily pick it up, tucked under my arm and move it wherever I need it. The large bottom rubber feet provide a secure contact area on the ground. I would recommend you have someone "spotting" the bottom of the ladder when you're on it if it's on smooth, potentially slippery surfaces. I've used mine on asphalt driveways, wooden unpainted decks, etc., surfaces that are NOT typically slippery when dry. As with ANY ladder, you need to use common sense when setting it up and climbing. One note, that is mentioned in many other reviews, the distance between step rungs is about 16 inches or so, about 4 inches or so more than most "standard" step ladders. This is not a problem for my use. Of course, there is more distance if you open the top sections and leave the bottom sections collapsed. I usually open the ladder with the unopened sections at the top and leaving a minimum or no sections at the bottom. You need to insure the ladder is balanced properly top to bottom, depending on what you're leaning it against. Roof climbing should have several sections above the roof that are opened for easy access/holding on as you get on or off the ladder on a roof.You always need to remember you've got a longer step to the rung then you may be used to with "standard" ladders. Again, this is not a problem for my use.I'm over 6ft tall, so a longer step is fine. I think you'll be happy with this collapsible ladder.

Easy to use by oneself. It does take some getting use to over convention ladder as the runngs seem farther apart. Additional make sure you follow the directions

The ladder is made really well only thing I hate about it was the first leg at the very bottom it's about 2 and 1/2 ft wide it's too far up to stretch they should be some kind of adjustment on it for people can't climb really well

I was quite surprised at the quality of this telescoping ladder. I have used telescoping ladders of various lengths for many years and this one is easily the smoothest to raise/lower and the one that feels most solid under load. The only thing to be aware of is that this 18.5' ladder has rungs which are spaced quite a bit farther apart than any other telescoping ladder I've ever seen or used. You have to stretch a bit going up and down so for folks with shorter legs it may be a challenge.

Sturdy ladder. Supports a lot of weight. Easy to carry, very functional. Does extend to 18’. Would recommend use and easy to haul in a car.

Rungs don't stick when released! Huge for me. I've used several brands that have collapsed. This looks and feels rugged. Love it!

I have been using the ladder over the last few weeks. A trapezoid picture window in my house was converted to a rectangular one, requiring me to apply a joint compound over the new window which is above a lower window. The ladder has been indispensable. First, I can adjust the ladder to the height needed. Second, the rubber pad on the middle of the top rung allowed me to safely and securely place the ladder against a textured wall without damaging the wall. Lastly, the rubber feet gripped the luxury vinyl floor quite well, as I had no ladder slippage. The only small downside, is that the rungs are space a bit far apart, so a person of a smaller stature may want to be more careful.
