Fail On The Details
Would Not RecommendThe ladder is reasonably light and easy to handle. The length is short enough to not need a rope to move the extensions. The feet are secure and offer a little bit of leveling when you are on an uneven surface if you flip one up and leave one flat. The top section does have decent padding and traction to offer stability and security when leaning against a house.

standard ladder adjustments, easy to use.
Would RecommendIt is lighter than my old Fiberglass 20 ft ladder. I am retired and no longer need a fiberglass ladder for electrical construction activities.

Great ladder, great price
Would RecommendSturdy and light. One side of my house has concrete and the rubber feet were very secure. The other side has a grassy slope and the anchors dug in and felt really solid. Doesn't wobble like I remember other extension ladders. I got the 16 ft so it easily fits in my shed when not needed.
Light and strong.
Would RecommendWerner ladders are excellent. It's very light and extends smoothly. I weigh 190 lbs., and it was strong enough to hold me with no problems.

Check for dents, bends etc before leaving the stor
Would RecommendThe ladder is a good sturdy ladder. Heavier than my last 16 footer but it was over 50 years old when the aluminum broke due to becoming brittle. My only issue is I didn't notice until sometime later that the extension part was bent. It's more a cosmetic issue but it's still functional. Not worth the trip back to the store to exchange.
