5.0 out of 5 stars A Versatil Essential for the Homeowner, December 1, 2004
By D.Jensen

Like another reviewer, the ‘Little Giant’ infomercial piqued my interest about this type of product. I was in need of an extension ladder in the 20ft range, but didn’t really want to deal with storing it. The idea of meeting this need with a unit that stores in a compact space was appealing, and I could get rid of my eight foot step ladder to boot. I found the Werner MT-22 at Lowes for $198 plus tax. Little Giant didn’t really lose a sale because there was no way I was going to pay $400 for a ladder no matter how well made or versatile.The ladder is everything I expected. It works great as an A-frame stepladder. Although it is heaver than the 8-foot stepladder I’m retiring, it is also less bulky which is a good trade off when manuvering it to where I need to use it. It is also useful outdoors as a taller stepladder. The feature to allow it to be set up on stairs is a great plus.The main reason I wanted a new ladder was to get a long enough extension to reach the eaves of the half-story of my house. The MT-17 was not guite long enough so I went for the 22. The main disadvantage is having to manuver it into position while it is essentially fully extended. Again, the slight disadvantage in setup is compensated for by the ease of hauling it out of the garage to the area where it will be used, and not having to store a standard extension ladder. I expect I’ll only need to use it in this mode three or four times a year so the storage problem is actually more important than ease of setup. I haven’t had a chance to use it in the scaffold support mode, but I did do a test set-up, and it appears that it will work well for this purpose. The ladder is sturdy and well-constructed. It is very stable when properly setup, and I was comfortable and confident while using it. I highly recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely 5 stars, March 12, 2006
By Tom T (Crystal Coast of NC USA)

GREAT ladder and well-deserving of the high ratings received here. Mine arrived in perfect condition. One reviewer mentioned that he had to lube some parts, and they still didn’t move well. So that’s the first thing I checked after I removed the factory wrapping. Happy to report that the moving parts are perfectly engineered: all rails move smoothly and all j-hooks easily pull out & snap into place w/o any extra effort on my part. This ladder is ideal for anyone who uses 5′ and 8′ ladders regularly along with a 19′ extension ladder. That description fits me. I own some residential rental housing and do most of my own maintenance. In the past, I used a 5-footer mainly for interior painting; I needed an 8-footer for my units with cathedral ceilings; and I needed an extension ladder when working outside. It was a real pain when I had to pack all three ladders in my van. Now I just take the one MT-22 ladder, and, when folded, it doesn’t use much more room than my 5-footer did, but takes the place of all 3 ladders. I wish I bought this thing years ago. If you’ve ever tried using a ladder on stairs by adding some sort of (unsafe) support under two of the feet, you’ll be amazed how effortlessly & safely you can use this ladder on stairs. This feature alone might make this ladder worth the price for some people. Several reviewers here commented on the weight. I haven’t put it on a scale, but 45 – 50 lbs seems about right. I’m sure there are a lot of ladies who could throw this thing over their shoulder without breaking a sweat. But, for those who can’t, this ladder might not be the best for many tasks women (& guys) end up doing inside the house. Having a light-weight 5- or 6-footer is still ideal for those jobs the wife or girlfriend want or have to handle themselves w/o male assistance. In fact, I don’t feel like a wussy when I grab our 5-footer instead of the MT-22 for use in & around the house. However, this MT-22 at 5′ and at 8′ feels aheckofa lot sturdier than my 5- or 8-footer. At full extension, it also has a more solid feel than my 19′ aluminum extension ladder. For those of us who recycle aluminum cans, this ladder probably contains a few cans we used once. I ran a magnet over it, and the only steel I found are the rivets holding the ladder rungs, and the 2 mid-point hinges. So based on weight, I’d say this ladder is at least 99.5% rigid aluminum. One caution worth repeating is watch your fingers at first when you start experimenting and especially when lowering it. There’s no rope to use for extending or lowering it as with a standard extension ladder. Until you get used to operating this ladder, it’s real easy to leave your fingers in the wrong place. After I got it unpacked, I was fascinated with the various configurations and had to try out every one — and in the excitement lost concentration on where my fingers were placed. Amazing how a pinched finger resharpens concentration. I, too, would like to support the USA company that invented this design rather than an overseas manufacturer that copied the concept. But at less than half-price and no tax or shipping charge when ordering from Amazon, this Werner ladder is a super deal if the concept meets your needs.

3 Stars & Up Versatile, but LIMITED extension capability!, May 30, 2004
By brianpsu (State College, PA)

Bought this for the flexibility and ease of transport. It fit without any trouble in the back of the vehicle and was very easy to handle with 1 person. Being able to use it as a stair ladder or with the included braces to use it as scaffolding support was very attractive. The weakness is in the extension ability. It is very difficult to fully extend the ladder to 19 feet. Basically your only option is to half-extend it on the ground, and once you have it standing, push it the rest of the way up. This becomes very difficult as this ladder does not have the typical pulley system found on regular extension ladders. It also cannot accept the Werner Quick-Click Stabilizer. The stabilizer would normal make window and gutter jobs a piece of cake. Also, with the angled legs, I am not sure of this ladders ability to accept a leveler. This all coupled with the flexing of 4 separate pieces, prompted me to return it for a Werner 24 foot fiberglass extension that I am completely happy with.

There are mostly good reviews about this ladder. If you want to go for Werner MT-22 ladder here is link below.
