Little Giant Velocity, Aluminum Ladder, 18 ft with Leg Levelers, 15417-801

I have to say I wish I ordered this years sooner. There are so many little things this ladder does well. I ordered it to help with painting a shed that had a weird side. The yard is terraced so one side of the shed is raised and awkward, and high to get to. I have a 6 foot a- frame ladder and a 16 ft extension ladder. Neither really seemed to work well. The little giant was the perfect in-between. Super stable with the ratcheting legs (a must in my opinion), and the 2 sided adjustments. Put me in a very comfortable, and safe position to finish painting. Then I used to repair our 2nd story deck. Again super stable on uneven ground. My only cons (which do not over shadow the pros). It is a little bit heavy, but to have the functionality it really has to be. Then because it has several adjustment options you need to be very careful. There are pinch points that could easily grab fingers. I found it helpful to lay the ladder on its side initially to get a feel for the "click in" points. There are situations where a 2nd person is helpful. But after using a few times it gets more intuitive. Overall I (as an avg DIY homeowner) would highly recommend. Again, ratcheting legs a must!

Great ladder and super flexible. I really like the ability to use on stairs. It is really well made. The one thing to note is that it is quite heavy so take that into consideration.

I bought the 17 ft model for use with our new motorhome. I bought this during prime day and it was the best value for the height. If I were to step it up to the 20 something foot ladder it would have cost me over $100 more but for $150 I could not pass up the opportunity to purchase. Although the latter at its peak does not quite reach the 12 ft roof of the motorhome I use it to easily get on the roof without any issue. I use this ladder as a supplement to the rear ladder as well so I can easily and safely get on the and off the roof. The one thing that I hoped that would have come with this ladder was the extension ladder safety rail extenders. I'm not great with heights and get a little nervous so having that extra hand hold to step on and off the roof would have been preferential, but it wasn't a deal breaker. I ended up purchasing the red tool bag and wingspan. Although I don't think I'm going to need the wingspan on the RV it is a very useful tool to have the ladder not scratch up the surface of the RV. And a little red tool bag that attaches to the rungs of the ladder has been a tremendous help while doing maintenance on our RV. It is very lightweight. And with the adjustable legs it is made performing maintenance while on an uneven and rocky surface up breeze. To have the wheels has been a nice pleasure compared to previous ladders and makes it easy to go from one side of the RV to the other. The best part of this ladder is how compact it is as it fits in one of our basement storage compartments very easily and without taking up much space. We use the space between the rungs as propane tank holders so they don't move around while in transit. And yes they are empty propane tanks. I would highly recommend buying this ladder and if at a good price definitely get the step up size wise to the ladder as I know it would make it easier to get onto the roof when in a frame mode.

I love this ladder! This ladder is highly adjustable and pretty easy to use. I have used it in A-Frame mode to reach the rain gutters on my house and also to access the attic from my closet. I have used it in extended mode to get up on the roof of my house, which is about 18 feet at the lowest point. Definitely worth the money. PROs It's adjustable. It can be used in A-Frame mode or straight. It can be extended to adjust the height in either mode. The locking mechanisms feel very solid. I have no concerns about the ladder slipping while I'm standing on it. CONs It's heavy. It's difficult for one person to carry. if your garage is a mess (like mine) and you have to maneuver around obstacles to get it in and out of it's storage location it's best to have two people. Likewise with getting it into position when it's extended to it's full height.

I absolutely love the versatility of this ladder and how easy it is to fold open. The added weight provides a sense of stability, especially with the ratcheting stabilizers. While it may feel a bit heavy and awkward due to its length, the extra weight contributes to its overall stability. As a 6'-1" semi-muscular man, I find it perfect, but I can see how it might be challenging for someone shorter or less muscular to handle. Despite this, the feeling of security it offers outweighs any minor inconveniences. I opted for the removable work platform, which initially required some trust-building, but once I got used to it, it significantly improved comfort during longer periods of use. Highly recommend this ladder for its stability and versatility!

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.

Worked with Little Giant Ladders before, very impressed, and believe they are worth the extra money. I don’t want to skimp on a ladder. Well packed and shipped; 15 minutes after delivery it was out of the box, up against the house with 18” above the gutter, leveled with built in levelers. Finally got the pesky plug out of my downspout drain - a shingle cutoff. 15 minutes later the ladder was folded back to 4” tall, rolled on its built-in wheels into the garage and mounted on the wall. All despite being highly adjustable and well built for 330 lbs capacity…two of me. Next, because it collapses into a small size, it’ll go into the house, second floor, for attic access through a scuttle. Spending money isn’t easy these days, but with this ladder, you get your money’s worth.

Rock solid construction. Everything I expected.

I purchased this ladder to do some cleaning at my home roof (mold and gutters) and install some surveillance cameras around my house. With the help of this fantastic product I finished the job in no time. The ladder can be adjusted in many ways it is light enough to carry it around and it is super stable. I strongly recommend it: Quality, design and great features at the right price!

Una excelente escalera Eso si es pesada, debe manejarse por un par de personas

Great lil ladder. Can be used in different positions. Accessories which don't come with the ladder are also nice

I am really afraid of hights and this ladder offered me a stability like none i ever experienced before. If you deal with uneven ground, the extendable stabilizer is a perfect solution. It is quite heavy, but I doubt that much could be done to reduce the weight while retaining the amazing versatility. I am very pleased with my purchase. Gone are the days of trembling on a shaky kadder and praying to survive the experience. Particularly if you are afraid of heights and concerned about safety, the expense is justified. I got the working step on platform, but did not use it yet.

Love this ladder So versatile!!! Wish I bought it sooner!
