Jupiter Adjustable Telescoping Ladder A-Frame Ladder with Stabilizer Bar, 16.5 ft, Stainless Steel

Definitely need someone to hold it steady for you, but very happy with it. Bought it for our camper, no complaints, we've already used it 4 times to get up on top and it stows away neatly.

My husband loves this ladder it has three different ways you can use it

very sturdy and easy to manipulate.

Love it. Worked great. Strong. Fits great in any car as well. Recommend

Great little ladder for light work where a step ladder just isn't tall enough. Took a few minutes to get used to the step spacing but the locking mechanism feels secure. Easy to transport, too. A little springier than a standard extension ladder but not unworkable. I like it!

This is a very convenient, telescoping ladder. Collapsed, it stores a hundred times more easily than a conventional (and much more expensive) extension ladder. In use, it functions properly (at least when new), but has a number of (acceptable?) safety compromises which should be taken into consideration. 1) It flexes alarmingly while ascending or descending, because the side rails are not rigid, but consist of a telescoping joint every 15". This doesn't necessarily make it unsafe, but takes getting used to. I would be very hesitant to try climbing with the full 330 lb rated load. 2) The rungs are not canted to compensate for the tilt of the erected latter. Your feet are pointing downward at the same angle the ladder is leaning. Regular extension ladders have horizontal step surfaces when properly angled. 3) The bottom feet exert friction on the mounting surface, but also do not angle to account for ladder lean, thus you only get a point contact with the ground. Regular extension ladders have pivoting feet to maintain full ground contact. I'm keeping the ladder, but my contractor friend won't get on it.

When you retract the rungs of the ladder, it doesn't have any hydraulics, so they come down rather abruptly

Very difficult to put all the way down,this is a great ladder, the A -frame model you might say is double trouble, but if you need this model,then I would think over time you could get use to it.

Seems unstable.

This ladder is so heavy I cannot lift it, or even scoot it across the floor a bit. I thought it was light weight aluminum...NOT SO ! So is it sturdy? Id say so, but what value is it if I cant use it! My grandson took it out of the box, and there it has set unmoved! It is of no value to me.
