Ratings & Reviews for Werner MtIAA 18-ft Reach Type 1AA - 375 lbs. Load Capacity Telescoping Multi-Position Ladder

"You're gonna love it"

If you are a homeowner,and you don't already have a ladder,this is the one to buy! Because of its adjustable feature,it will actually take the place of owning multiple ladders to accomplish the task at hand.It can be configured as a traditional "A" frame stepladder with multiple height adjustments,a wall ladder where 1 side is flat up against the wall or for use on stairs,a traditional straight ladder tall enough to get you up on the roof,or separated into 2 ladders to make bases to support a sc...

17' Multi-telescoping Ladder

An excellent Ladder would definitely buy this ladder. Was easy to use in the house for taking down my old curtains and putting up my new ones. And then also using outside to clean my gutters. Tried out all the positions just to see what it would do. For the DIYer this is the only ladder you will ever need.

Fantastic versatile ladder

This is the first telescoping ladder that I have ever owned or used and I love it. The Werner 17' telescoping ladder is extremely well constructed yet light weight enough to make it very versatile. Compact and very practicle which makes it easy to move from one project to another. The design allows you to apply it to many situations and takes very little effort to adapt to your project needs. Indoors or outside the house or work site this ladder serves many useful purposes and requirements. It i...

Love it!

I was excited to get my telescoping ladder and after unwrapping it I briefly reviewed the directions and tried it out. The first thing that impressed me was how solid it was. Second, it was easy to figure out and use. Third, it did the job that afternoon when I needed to go up on my roof and adjust my TV antenna. I went up and down the ladder at least 10 times and it felt very secure - didn't wobble or move at all. I'm pretty sure this will be one of my favorite useful things around the house fo...

Awesome Heavy Duty Folding Ladder

The Werner 17 foot Multi-telescoping Ladder is a great piece of equipment for both the homeowner and professional alike. The unit is compact, lightweight and with a 375 lb weight rating very safe and durable. I cannot overemphasize how easy it is to store. The unit folds down to a manageable 54" X 23" size, so it can easily be stored in a closet. At 6'3" and 285 lbs I was always concerned that some of the cheaper folding ladders would fail and I might fall injuring myself. I used this ladder wit...

Very Solid Ladder

This ladder arrived at my house in bubble wrap. It did not seem like it was wrapped up very well, but there was no damage. If you are buying this in a store, no problem. The best way to describe this ladder is a more solid version of a ladder with a better known brand name, minus the wheels. Like similar versions of this ladder, the Werner folds out to a step ladder using J locks to lock it into position. The J locks operated flawlessly and without effort. This ladder can be used straight up aga...

Amazing Ladder

If this ladder had arms I'm sure it could shave me. Joking aside, this ladder does everything - it's a step ladder, a telescoping extension ladder, a short step ladder, an uneven stair ladder and one use I didn't test was as a scaffold ladder - you need an optional rail system. But what I did test this ladder more than met or exceeded my expectations. Even the shipping packaging was perfect - lots of bubble wrap and not so much as a ding anywhere. One word of advice is to spend 5 minutes readi...

Surprisingly easy to use

I've always been hesitant to purchase a multi-telescoping ladder based on the weight and difficulty of handling. However, after moving into a 2 story home last year, I knew I would need to have one. My 8' and 12' conventional step ladders weren't going to get the job done. The first task was changing a flood light bulb 1.5 stories up on the corner of the house, so we set the ladder in the extension position. Super easy to change height of legs and angle of the sides. I didn't have to pull it o...

Nicely heavy-duty, simple to use and stores neatly

In general, one always expects some drawbacks from a tool that tries to do everything; better ones do most things decently but none really perfectly. This ladder is really well-built and as heavy as one would expect given the solidity with which it is built. As an extension ladder, I would say having some help makes sense since you so not have the pull rope to make it wieldy in its shorter form, having side locks so the entire length needs to be brought up and down. This is par for the course...

Extremely stable and versatile

This ladder is very strong and stable. It works great as a "wall" ladder and as an extension ladder. However it EXCELS as a tall step ladder. This ladder is very easy to set up for stairs and has made putting up pictures much easier. I am a bit on the large size and the other adjustable ladder I have feels very wimpy in comparison. The rubber covered feet are very gentle on our 100 year old wood floors and there has not been even one scuff. One thing i must point out. This ladder is designed for...

Very sturdy, not heavy.

I have been in the market for an extension ladder and was debating buying a multi use telescoping ladder. When the opportunity came I picked the Werner. I used this ladder to get onto the first story roof of my garage and replace some siding. I’m 6’ 1” 230 lbs and at no point did this ladder even shake as I walked up. I like the spring system to release and lock the ladder into position, the system made it easy to manipulate. This ladder also met my needs because I have a storage issue, this lad...
