- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2015Pattern Name: StoolVerified PurchaseThis step ladder is lighter and more sturdy than any step ladder I've seen.
Even on uneven ground this step ladder feels rock-steady. In addition to being absurdly light-weight, this step-ladder's weight distribution makes it easy to carry around or haul up and down stairs. Its center of mass and weight distribution are obviously very well-thought out by the engineers who designed it.
Folds up thinner than you'd expect. The hand grip, which I originally thought would be a throw-away feature turns out to be very useful because it was well designed. Easy to use, sturdy, and effective, it makes using the highest step not only safe, but makes the highest step FEEL safe, which is equally as important.
The legs are well protected by plastic which don't mar or scratch our delicate wooden floors, while at the same time is slide resistant.
It opens and closes quite easily. When you open the ladder, it locks into place. There are no sharp corners or angles to scratch your hands around the unlock mechanism.
I'm 5'8", and the ladder is perfect in step size and height for me. I suspect it will be perfect for anyone of "normal size".
The only slightly negative comment I have is with the tray. I wish it were a little more sturdy. I also wish it were flat, although the indentations are useful to hold nails or bolts. When I rest my electric drill on it, I feel like I have to lay the drill down to keep it stable. Not a big deal, and certainly not enough to reduce this below 5 stars.
I would say this product deserves the tag-line "It's worth every single penny". I'm extremely happy with the purchase. It's the best step-ladder I've ever owned.
Vendor: It shipped well packed and delivery was speedy.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2020Pattern Name: StoolVerified PurchaseI don't write reviews much and don't get excited that often but when a guy finds the right tool for the job, happiness ensues and I should tell somebody. I bought this ladder to help reach high dishes, replace lights, you know the things that are just out of reach. This little latter is great and Rubbermaid has done a great job with the design. First, it's sturdy. Second, really love that it has a handle for holding on above the top step; I've used the ladder already and needed this and found it a very safe and useful feature, one that some other ladders lacked. Third, it's just the right size and doesn't require me to drag in my house ladder when I need to reach something inside the house. And to that point it fits in my coat closet so I can keep it close and get it out when needed. The folding and locking took me a couple of practice tries but they are fine and the ladder itself is light and easy to fold. I'm also realizing that it was probably designed for painters and may use it for painting the house too. I'm pleased and think you will probably be as well.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2025Pattern Name: StoolVerified PurchaseThis is second one I've bought. Extremely light weight yet very sturdy.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2023Pattern Name: StoolVerified PurchaseI love this ladder. I’m disabled after multiple spinal surgeries and this ladder is very light weight & its sturdy. I have high shelves in my craft room and searched a long time for the right ladder. I feel safe on this ladder. The top part is higher than my knees and it has the shelf to set stuff on that I’m getting down. This allows me to hold on with both hands when climbing down. It did take me a bit to figure out how to fold it. You have to pull out on the slides on the shelf at the same time to fold it down. Then pull up on the lever under the top step to fold the ladder. And it folds pretty flat. Overall a good ladder.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2021Pattern Name: StoolVerified PurchasePurchased 2/9/21 for $55.
I use this ladder a couple hours a week, every week.
Have realistic expectations with this item. I purchased this particular item because I wanted a ladder that was light and maneuverable in small spaces. I purchased a Dyson cordless vacuum over a Miele, even though it is a worse vacuum, because I could grab it fast and easy more often. Same logic with this ladder.
This ladder isn't the most sturdy but I wouldn't describe it as weak. I used it shortly after I purchased on an uneven surface (it does say not to do this right on the ladder..) and now it has a very slight warp/wobble to it. It's not very noticeable and doesn't really affect the performance. A steel ladder likely wouldn't have experienced this. Ensure the surface is flat and the ladder is unencumbered and you shouldn't have any issues.
My wife and I are 130lbs and 150lbs. If you are much heavier than this I would not buy this ladder. The weight limit says 225lbs, I'm sure it wouldn't collapse at that weight, but you would probably need to be quite careful with it.
The tray option is certainly strong enough. A gallon of paint is fine on it. I'm never worried about it unlocking accidentally and falling closed on me, dropping whatever is on it. This strong lock means closing it can kind of be a pain.
Closing the ladder itself is easy enough, although it's not as ergonomic or intuitive as you might think. I usually close it with one hand and my hip. When using two hands place your other hand not on the legs of the ladder. I trapped my finger one of the first times I used it which was an unfortunate experience to say the least.
Solid 4 stars. It's a light maneuverable aluminum ladder. If it were a little sturdier and didn't bite I'd say 5.

Pattern Name: StoolVerified PurchaseAbsolutely amazing! I'm very very satisfied with this purchase. Thank you, Amazon, you are the lifesaver for me. This ladder is fantastic for replacing light bulbs in the ceiling and don't have enough time to shop and/or finding it too difficult to pick one up from shops. The ladder is super light and can fold for easy storage. Love it! Thanks again for offering this amazing product and combined with the timely delivery service. 10/10!
