 "Great tool for living in a motorhome" 2010-01-21
By George F. Stoltz
We live full-time in a 40 foot Foretravel deisel pusher motorhome. North America is our front yard. From time to time I need to reach something on the motorhome and this ladder is perfect. It is lightweight, I can open it to any length in seconds and it stores in a very small amount of space.

The only "drawback" is that it is fussy to close up.

 "Very special purpose ladder" 2009-10-01
By Larry A. Morris (Sacramento, CA USA)
The ladder works well in tight spaces and is easy to carry and store. It should not be mistaken for a general purpose ladder, as it has some severe limitations. The bottom of the ladder does not have outriggers, so it is not a good idea to lean to the side when it is extended very high. It must also be placed on very solid ground or pavement, no grass or soft dirt. The ladder accepts only compressive forces, so it cannot be safely suspended from the top.

When extending the ladder you must know before hand how many rungs will be needed. If you do not correctly estimate the required height, you must collapse the ladder and start over, but this is merely an inconvenience. I am guessing that is must also be kept scrupulously clean, since it extends like a fine telescope. I kept the plastic shipping package to cover it while stored.

If you recognize its limitations and use it only according to directions, you will probably be very happy with it.

 "Telesteps - An Opinion based on experience" 2008-11-25
By Jeffrey S. Hempel (Greater Lansing, MI)
This product has been used by my company for over 4 years and we have been through at least 10 of these by 2 people. The feet do not last over a month (original rubber feet) and the telescoping feet cost $70.00 a pair and last about 1 year. If you do not keep the ladder clean (in other words do not WORK with it) it will shortly jam up and will not open.

There is NO customer service to speak of except email and their warranty is a joke. BUT - THIS LADDER IS INVALUABLE TO MY COMPANY BECAUSE WE ENTER ATTICS EVERYDAY AND CANNOT IMAGINE WORKING WITHOUT THE CONVENIANCE OF THE TELESCOPING LADDER. I just wish customer service was better, the warranty was valid, and most of all the product was more durable.

 "Telestep Ladder" 2008-10-12
By Ronhdds (Lubbock TX)
Amazon Price was better than any other, by at least $50 dollars.

The ladder works well, is light weight, and collapses to a manageable size.

One Caution!! As it collapses down, BE SURE to KEEP your FINGERS to the outside rail edges, NOT between any of the steps- It can very easily pinch or smash your fingers!

 "Awkward and dangerous" 2008-03-01
By Scott Turner (Texas, USA)
First, note that the ladder must be completely and fully extended before it can be used. You extend the top rung up first, it clicks into place then you extend the next rung, it clicks into place, but until the last rung clicks into place the entire thing will telescope back down at near free-fall speeds. That means the whole 12.5 feet extended for each and every use, regardless of confines of the space in use or the actual height you need to reach.



Second, closing the ladder and de-telescoping the steps is dangerous. I read all the instructions. I watched the videos on the manufacturer's site. I'm a handy guy. And this thing telescoped down and took two chunks out of my hand, even though I was expecting it. Could I do a better job with practice? Of course, but it shouldn't be as dangerous as it is for first-time users.



Third, my ladder arrived banged up, dented, and obviously repackaged, meaning someone else had already returned it and then Amazon sent it to me. Watch out, because I returned it, too, so you might get mine...sorry about the blood.

 "Well Designed" 2007-11-28
By J. Varza (PA, CA)
If you need a ladder to fit in a small space this one will do the job. Setting it up seems a bit of effort. Awesome Design.

 "Convenient but scary" 2009-12-05
By
This is the 3rd telescoping ladder I have owned and by far my least favorite. The wide-step is nice but hardly makes up for the amount of movement in the ladder itself. When extended this ladder moves and flexes and moves from side to side. I weigh 140lbs. and find it very uncomfortable. I intend to sell this and have already bought myself the 15.5' Extend and Climb which is a far superior product... I will write a review about it.

 "WHAT YOUR FINGERS WHEN THE LADDER GOES DOWN" 2009-10-27
By SDAFOX (Canyon Country, ca United States)
I LIKE THE CONCEPT, BUT THIS IS ONE DANGEROUS LADDER. IF YOU HIT A TAB ON THE SIDE IT CAN FOLD UP ON YOU. DO NOT TRY TO PULL IT UP FROM THE TOP FROM A ROOF. AND IF YOU ARE NEAR THE WEIGHT MAX IT DOES BEND A BIT. IT IS SMALL AND PORTABLE BUT YOU GOT TO KEEP IT CLEAN AND BECAREFUL WHEN CLIMBING. I WOULD NOT USE WHEN I STOPPED USING MINE, I RECYCLED IT I DID NOT WANT THIS BACK OUT TO SOME ONE THAT MIGHT NOT KNOW HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT SAFELY. THE LADDER IS JUST RIGHT FOR A ONE STORY ROOF, BUT IT JUST IS NOT A SAFE AS MY LITTLE GIANT AND ABOUT DOUBLE THE WEIGHT. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE ON THIS LADDER. AND I AM WELL UNDER THE WEIGHT MAX. IT SHOULD BE RATED FOR NO MORE THEN 200 LBS.

 "A MUST Have!" 2008-04-10
By C. Lamsfuss
What more could you ask for as a Home Improvement guy. A ladder that takes up no more space than briefcase yet carries a 245lb guy.



Invaluable and I highly recomend it for any home improvement companies and home inspectors.

 "Rubber foot problem" 2007-05-13
By Robert T. Handren
The first time I tried to use the ladder one of the rubber feet came off. It is apparently only held on with a single machine screw and nut. The foot won't on. When I can figure out to get it done I plan to add a washer so the thing doesn't slip over the nut.



This shouldn't be a problem!

 "Estimators dream" 2006-11-03
By Ronald H. Roberts (Winter Park, FL United States)

 "telesteps review" 2008-10-18
By gas doc (Louisville, KY)
good product... a little difficult to "close down" the steps after use, but should get easier the more I use it. I am 6'1'' and 210 pounds and I have no trouble carrying stuff up and down the ladder! Easy to store and transport!

 "works great and compact" 2008-10-09
By A. Smith (CA, USA)
The telesteps works as advertised, is light and very convenient.

It is very useful to pull out and setup when a regular ladder would be difficult.

 "Perfect for what I need!" 2008-07-02
By Quinn Roberts (Winter Garden, FL)
This ladder is exactly what I needed. After looking around for a while, I settled on this one and I'm very happy with my purchase.



It stores easily. I don't have a garage, so I needed something that wouldn't be too bulky. It collapses down to about 2.5 feet high, so I can slide it into the side of a closet and forget about it until I need it.



It's sturdy. I've now used it a few times, and it feels very sturdy (even when fully extended). I don't worry that it will collapse on me when I'm up on the roofline.



The only thing I have to worry about with this ladder is when it gets too dirty. Because the poles collapse down into themselves, they recommend that you wipe down any dirt before you close down the ladder. It takes a few extra minutes before you can put it away, but it also keeps your ladder nice and clean for the next use.

I bought this to carry and use in my motorhome. It works well and is well constructed. I would recommend it for a space saving ladder.

 "Telesteps Ladder" 2010-03-09
By Norman W. Mims Jr. (Tucson, AZ)
The Telesteps ladder performed as advertised. It was easy to erect and easy to stow. Users have to pay attention to the instructions to avoid pinching fingers when stowing the ladder. The instructions differed slightly from the features of the ladder but can be understood by a competent user. The ladder fits in my car trunk and meets my needs.

 "telesteps" 2009-11-27
By Rose Green
the telesteps are a great way to manage space, however the are kind of hard to manage if you are a woman, They are heavy but they do get the job done. I'm glad I have them. (I am a woman).

 "Does the job" 2008-01-06
By J. Lambert (SUMMIT, NJ USA)
I do a lot of wiring in closets and buildings I needed ladders that where easy to carry and store, since I bring 2 or three of these to jobs. Storing and transporting a frames take to much room. These fit the bill perfect. They take a little breaking in until you raise and lower them about 30 times they can stick a bit, some did some where fine out of the box. The collapsing works well but watch your fingers. There are safeties built in, but this is a collapsing type of latter is inherently risky where you put your hands. I have used several and this is the safest and best so far. Some make you collapse one rung at a time what is nice about this is you can collapse to a smaller height 4 rungs down or just collapse the whole thing in one shot so it is quick. Weight is very light for a 14' ladder at 25 lbs I don't know what you are expecting if you think this is heavy, it is about the same weight as my 6' A frame. Fully extended it does flex a bit, again they all do but gets the job done and doesn't bug me one bit. As a light contractor ladder or condo owner ladder it is great. If this is you only ladder and you have a house I would get something a bit more robust like a little giant or a good A frame and extension ladder it is bigger but is a sturdier feeling and safer. For what this ladder is it is great!

 "Mediocre performance and finger pinch danger." 2007-12-07
By J. Morris (Suburban Detroit)
I purchased this ladder and had reasonable expectations. I am sad to say that I am disappointed with this ladder. It's fairly heavy, there is a significant amount of bounce the higher you go, and you can easily smash your fingers and/or hands while the ladder is collapsing. I am a firefighter and have spent a great deal of time on ladders. You would be much better off with an "A" frame ladder and an extension ladder to meet most of your needs. I know space is sometimes a premium, but trust me. One fall off a ladder 10 feet up really hurts. Not to mention the recuperation time to heal a broken arm, leg or back. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who is elderly, heavy, uncomfortable with heights, and lacks upper body strength. You have to use some muscle to erect the ladder and lower it safely. Hope this helps.

 "Not the same as the 1600" 2007-11-03
By Handy Jack (Utah)
I have owned the twelve and a half foot 1600 telesteps ladder for three plus years. Excellent ladder which I would give five stars. The only downfall to this marvel was at times it was not tall enough. Enter the fourteen and a half foot telesteps. Question? Will the two feet I gain be worth $150 per foot to buy the longer ladder? I decide "yes". Upon arrival, I'm thinking I received the wrong ladder. First, the picture of the 14 1/2' ladder is one of the 12 1/2' ladder. I was under the impression that the quality would be the same as the 12 footer. It is NOT. This model is just this side of negotiating a rope ladder. The flex and twist of the taller ladder is unacceptable when getting off the roof onto the ladder. Also the one I received would not extend from the bottom, as advertised. I sent it back. Too bad the construction of the 14 1/2 ' ladder does not meet the same quality as the 12 1/2 footer, hence the one star. Thats my experience with the two, and I'm not falling off for two more feet.
