Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Took about five days. Installed by myself. Anyway it is in, and operable. Easy to understand and follow instructions. Much easier than unfolding the old wooden ladder.

The first ladder was damaged in shipment. It even hasd a tear in it on arrival with no damage to the box.



Cons

Holes in the wooden frame were not aligned with the holes in the pivot plates. Metal braces in the corners to strengthen the unit, but they were installed crooked as well. Advertised frame width is 22.

There is no qa on this product and since it was defective, the installation instructions were rendered useless. I know it's my own fault for not completely inspecting the product when i first got it.

Very disappointing. Boot prints and broken door straight out of the box. It's my own fault for not opening the box before the return window expired.

Weather-stripping doesn't seal, the insulation is incomplete, and there are rivets from the bottom of the door to the ladder. There are at least 10 exposed metal connectors sticking through the paper exterior. Closing the door is difficult.

Sturdy ladder, fairly easy install, incredibly convenient.


Inspect this unit completely before cutting an opening in your ceiling.


It came with the very cheap cardboard cover broken.

Price


It is a good ladder for the price.


I would likely pay the extra cost in the future to get the metal one in the future if i needed another ladder somewhere.

Shipping


The ladder was delivered quickly and in good shape.


Bought wrong size, immediately tried to cancel but they refused to cancel and shipped anyway.


The first ladder was damaged in shipment.

Packaging/appearance


The box showed up in excellent condition.


The box it came in looked like it had just been removed from a shelf.


Maybe the manufacturer could do better at more secure packaging in the event fedex can’t get their act together.

Competitiveness


I'm not sure what other products exist in the marketplace but if this represents the current standards in the attic ladder indu...  Read More

    Opening and closing the old ladder was a real chore partly because you have to reach so high to the ladder but also because the wooden ladder was so heavy


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i decided to replace the old wooden ladder with this ladder


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unfortunately i had to hire 2 handymen to do it because i couldnt do it myself and they dont allow you to help them due to liability


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When you open the ladder it stays open and does not try to close due to a spring like the old ladder


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The same goes for folding it back and closing it up


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Now my wife doesnt always have to ask me to do it because she can do it herself

    All the videos that ive watched about installing attic ladders are missing the fact that you might end up having to cut into your joist running perpendicular which takes an hour or two longer to install either blocking and then again your perpendicular framing the other problem that ive consistently run into is having to move electrical conduits air conditioning ducks water lines and and other unknown hidden items if you do hire a contractor to perform this work you wanna make sure that he is allpurpose otherwise you will end up having to wait fora air conditioning guy and or a plumber and or a electrician whereas originally you were just looking for a carpenter with experience in hanging drywall i am telling you this from experience i have never run into a situation where i could just cut a holeframe it and install a ladder theres always beenutilities in the way
