Little Giant Ladders Velocity, 22-Ft Folding Multi-Position Ladder, Aluminum, 300 lb Load Capacity, Type 1A Extra Heavy Duty, 22-Ft Reach, with Ratchet Levelers and Wheels (15422-801)

I've had this ladder for a couple years now. My husband bought it for me as he was concerned about our other ladders not being sturdy enough when I trim trees, etc. This thing does just about everything in every angle. I can get on the house, in a tree, along side the house, etc and the thing is very, very sturdy and I can easily adjust the height and angle. It's a little on the heavy side for me but thankfully is has wheels so I can move it or wheel it to wherever I need it. It's been sitting out in the weather for the last year and there is no deterioration to it whatsoever. No rusting, peeling, or warping.

Great ladder. I’ve had it for about a year now and use it all the time. The transformability is the real win—it adjusts into so many configurations and handles a wide range of projects without needing multiple ladders. Solid, reliable, and extremely versatile. One of those tools you’re glad you invested in.

Only regret was not purchasing this whenever they initially came out because my other ladders are now obsolete and stored in the shed permanently...I really appreciate being able to use on uneven surfaces and having the quick ability to level it...the only ladder I would have needed 35 years ago when I bought my house, this is a great asset for your home for cleaning gutters to getting on the roof to whatever, also love the rollers and light relative weight and being able to use it on stairs as well...super happy with purchase.

I wanted something that I could load into the back of the SUV to take with me to the lake. When my sailboat is on the hard for the winter the toe rails are well over eight feet above the ground. Even the swim ladder is unreachable without a step ladder when it is in it's stowed position up against the stern. The lowest rung is still four feet off the ground when deployed. Getting on and off the boat can be a challenge, not to mention being able to reach the entire hull for cleaning and waxing. I borrowed a six foot step ladder from someone else in the marina and found it to be just a little too short for working on the hull... and it wouldn't fit in my SUV anyhow. I just unboxed my Little Giant Velocity M13 adjustable ladder. I didn't bother with reading the included instructions before messing around with it. It is heavier than I expected it to be but it is still very manageable. It has about the same weight as my 16' extension ladder, which won't fit in the SUV either. I was very pleasantly surprised at how the hinge latching mechanisms work. Just push them in, they are spring loaded and lock in place, open the hinge and they lock automatically in A frame mode. Push them again, they lock in their released position, and you just continue unfolding the hinge until they automatically lock in the extension ladder configuration. The locking mechanisms for extending the legs work the same way, easy and secure. Very easy, very secure. I went up and down both sides of this ladder while it was in it's step ladder configuration as well as up and down it when it was fully extended as an extension ladder. Solid enough for me, I'm over 200lbs, and I'm kind of fussy... I used to paint houses. You need to be able to trust your ladder. This is an awesome little ladder.

I recently acquired the Little Giant Ladder Systems Velocity M13, a 13-foot multi-position ladder, and I have found it to be a great addition to my toolkit. Overall, I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars. The ladder's build quality is impressive, reflecting the Little Giant brand's commitment to excellence. The aluminum construction ensures durability and longevity, making it a reliable choice for various tasks around the house or workplace. One notable feature of this ladder is its multi-position functionality, allowing it to adapt to different heights and configurations. This versatility has proven to be highly beneficial, especially for my specific needs of reaching a 10-foot ceiling on the second-to-last step. However, at that height, I did notice a slight discomfort in stability. While it gets the job done, the ladder doesn't provide the most reassuring feeling at that elevation. It's important to consider this aspect, especially if you're close to my height of 5'9". For ceilings in the 8-9-foot range, the ladder's performance would likely be more optimal and comfortable. Despite the minor concern at the higher height, the Little Giant Velocity M13 ladder remains a sturdy and dependable tool. Its ability to accommodate different configurations and its solid construction make it a versatile option for various tasks, from painting and repairs to maintenance and beyond. In conclusion, the Little Giant Velocity M13 Multi-Position Ladder is a high-quality and versatile tool that delivers on its promises. While it may not provide the most ideal experience at its maximum height for individuals of certain heights, it excels at lower elevations and offers reliable performance overall. If your tasks generally involve ceilings in the 8-9-foot range, this ladder would be an excellent choice for your needs. Sincerely, Mark

Good quality, quick shipping. Bought for my son to use around the house. He said it is very stable, folds up for compatibility.

I've used my 26' ladder in several configurations and love it. It's extremely sturdy and durable in any configuration, and can be safely handled by one person (although for some jobs, 2 is a good idea). It's been great to have for indoor and outdoor work around the house. I've had to contact Little Giant customer service for an issue and their response was polite, quick, and they immediately worked to resolve my ladder's issue under warranty. It didn't cost me a thing. My particular ladder had a defect in one of the two latching mechanisms, which meant that when the ladder was extended one of the latches would give way even with minimal weight on it. The second latching mechanism would keep the extension in place enough that I didn't fall, but the ladder didn't feel secure to stand on. I contacted customer service, which is available online and by phone, and submitted a claim. They asked for my contact information and then sent me a message asking for any details about the issue. They had the option to email or text pictures/video of the problem, which made explaining the problem really simple. I wish all companies had such modern ways to make warranty claims! I was able to communicate directly with the engineer assigned to my case and, after they reviewed my video of the problem, they approved a new ladder extension to be sent out to me at their own expense. I really couldn't be happier with their customer service or their product.

This is a strong, versatile ladder system! Some reviewers said they had -- or almost had -- accidents when the various locks didn't click into place. With a little bit of attention, this cannot happen. It is so clear when the locks are in, usually by way of strong pins that actually go through the frame. The ladder is versatile. I didn't know ahead of time if I'd use this feature, but I've found the ability to make one side straight up and down (with the climbing side on an angle), has been very useful both in the house and out. I had a wall to paint, and this setup let me get all over it without the ladder ever touching the wall. I also have an air intake duct high in a wall. There are little marks along the edge of the pot shelf where I used to place a straight ladder to get up to it. No more marks! Recently I had new satellite dish put on the roof. The installer was a young man named Sam. Sam is 6'5" tall and 350 lbs. His truck had 4 or 5 ladders on the rack, but Sam pulled his own Little Giant Ladder out of the van. It turned out to be an older version of the one I just bought (they are 19' long fully extended: why do they have to say they are 22 feet? I'm guessing they figure that on a 19-footer, you can work safely to 22 feet, but I'm still not sure that's a justification). Anyway, using his Li'l Giant (one "leg" straight, the other on an angle), Sam easily climbed onto my roof to do the job. The configuration allowed him to do that without the ladder ever leaning against the vulnerable roof gutters. Because of the way it's built, the ladder is relatively heavy (compared to my lighter aluminum ladders). That makes it a little awkward to fully extend it when you're on your own. It is top-heavy, and unless you're ready for it, it could get out of control when you're trying to get it max straight up in the air at its full height. It's easier if there are two of you, of course. That's said, I'm of average height and build, in good health though I'm over 60, and I can carry this ladder under one arm (in its folded configuration). On my various projects, I've managed to manhandle it on my own -- except when I was working indoors in tight quarters, and I asked my wife to help so I wouldn't knock over the TV or anything like that. I feel very secure climbing my Little Giant, and it is my go-to ladder for every job. By the way, we live in an area with gusty winds. Last summer when we were building a fence around our garden, using the lightweight aluminum step ladder, more than a few times, the wind just knocked it over. One time, it came crashing down on my wife's back. Fortunately, she wasn't hurt, but I would have preferred a sturdier ladder. That just can't happen with my Little Giant, so in some ways, somewhat heavier is a good thing (as with most things, there are trade-offs). To tell the truth, for years I've drooled over the Little Giant ladders every time I've gone by them in the hardware super stores. Now I have my own -- and so can you! Recommended.
