4Better than a static ladder
By A Customer
I bought a house for the first time a year ago and knew I needed ladders. I found that buying two classic ladders was far more expensive than buying one that was articulated. So, I purchased this ladder. If you are in a similar situation, don't hesitate to get an articulating ladder whether it is this brand or another.

Here is my review:

Pros:

-The ladder really does allow for adjustment into several very useful positions.

-When fully extended, it is extremely tall yet steady under weight.

-As a scaffold, it is a great height for cleaning gutters on an average house. Note you will need a platform of some sort to place over the rungs. I used scrap board.

-I've used it in most of its other positions and have found it to be steady and reliable.

-It stores easily, although see below about locking for storage

-It's cost was much lower than other ladders where I purchased it and it appears to be a lot less than other articulating ladders. It is more than enough for most home use.

Cons:

-it is a bit heavy, but I'm not sure any more so than other articulated ladders. I am a small male, and I didn't have problems moving it in any of its positions.

-the ladder does not lock in its smallest configuration for storage - a very stupid design flaw I'm sure they could have corrected. It won't fall apart on you in that position while in storage, but it makes it harder to move when in this position as it might start moving on you. I've kept it in the storage position most of the time I've owned it, and it has never been unsteady - just annoying for a minute or two when I bring it out for use.

-The joints can be a pain until you get used to them. I found that after a year of use, I'm pretty quick with them. I'd rather have them safe and secure than "easy". I like that each hinge is redundant, meaning that if one side is not fully locked for any reason, the other side might be. They have not jammed regardless of use around dirt, gravel, etc. Overall, I've had no construction quality issues with the ladder.

Other comments:I'm not sure why people complain about the "loud" locking of the joints. Who cares? It isn't even all that loud. I prefer to hear them lock rather than guess anyway, although the ladder's hinges also have color indicators to show they are locked. Overall, I thought this was a very useful ladder, although I have not worked with other articulating ladders and I don't use it inside very often. In general, articlulating ladders are bulky to use inside.

My suggestion is to go to a store with lots of these types of ladders and test them out. Unfortunately, I think you'll find most places only have one brand, causing you to go to different stores.

2Not my favorite ladder...
By Victor H. Agresti
Werner 16-Foot Type 250-Pound Rated Articulated Ladder #M1-8-16I've owned one of these ladders for about 15 years.Cons:- I find the 1" rungs to be uncomfortable to stand on for any length of time, particularly when wearing sneakers. This issue can be fixed by using a Werner AC-18MT to stand on, which fits this ladder perfectly and is sold by Amazon, but that's another 30+ bucks.)- makes me nervous being on it in the fixed 16' ladder configuration, as it bows inward quite a bit as my 260 pounds climbed it. Once on it, it stays that way. Of course, the less you weigh, the less the ladder will bow.- ladder isn't adjustable for height. 16' is the only choice.- minor issues: a) in the stepladder arrangement, there is no top tray to rest tools and supplies. The Werner AC24 Multipurpose Project Tray fits perfectly); b) folded-up ladder doesn't lock in that closed position, so you have to hold it from spreading apart when you carry it; c when closed, it's somewhat awkwardly bulky and heavy to carry; d) can't be stored outside, as the locking mechanism is steel and that would rust.Pros:- principal advantage: has some unusual configurations no other type of ladder can match.- each section locks into its various positions with distinctive snap, so you know it's secure.- the wide bottom "foot" does a very good job of stabilizing the ladder.- commonly available ladder accessories fit nicely, such as paint hooks, work platforms, materials trays, and standoffs.- the included stabilizer bar is a nice plus - makes the ladder safer, plus it's a huge help when leaned against something, like straddling a house window.- folds up compactly, so it doesn't take much space to store. It fits easily in a small SUV, and some car trunks if the rear seat folds down. It stands upright in the closed position in our shed.Other:- Since the locking mechanism is steel and precise, don't store this ladder outside - rain/dew will rust the steel, and dirt could gum up the locking mechanism.Summary:I own ten ladders, but only occasionally use this Werner. The Werner AC-18MT (as a platform) is pretty much mandatory for standing comfort. Unless you need one of the unusual configurations available only with this type ladder, my advice is to consider a more flexible ladder, such as the less expensive Werner 17' Aluminum Telescoping Multi-ladder (sold by Amazon).

4Good Ladder
By G. Kline
Have used two different types of articulated ladder (the first one I used was a 10 foot ladder and worked by the same "clicking" latch system. I like the noise because it tells me that it has locked the biggest prob(not a Werner ladder) with this ladder was after 10 years of using the main bolts on the hinge are rusted badly. This ladder also has steel hinges and only time will tell what will happen.This ladder works in much the same way as my last one. The biggest difference is this ladder comes with a big bolt on ladder base with large feet to secure you to the ground. The only thing I don't like about this ladder is the rung with is only 12 1/4 inches. Just makes it a little harder to walk down if you have boots on or using it during the winter months the other one I had was about 15 in but much heavier. As far as the locking device not locking in the close position has been a problem for me like everyone else. I just get that feeling like Holy **** it going to fall on me but never does my other ladder did the same thing and it's just something I had to adjust to while carrying it..
