Werner355 Stepladder, 5-Foot

So glad I purchased this ladder. Its lightweight, well made, and I have already used it, at least a half dozen times, for everything in and out side of our house. This was one of the better purchases I've made this year.

use for trimming tall shrubs and working in the garage

Purchased this ladder because I wanted something that was a good hight and lightweight. This was perfect. Can carry up and down the stairs easily. Highly recommend

Its a 6 foot Werner ladder so there isn't all that much to say as it does it job well. I've had a couple of Werner ladders and they are sold in Home Depots and Lowes. Amazon had the better price so I ordered it online. Compared to some other ladders, it does feel a bit more flimsy. It supports my weight fine and essential for hard to reach places but its not very thick and heavy. That makes it easy to lift and move around but if you want to see it before buying, head to a home improvement store to check it out. I like that it has a fold out shelf to put paint cans. Also the top shelf has some small holes that you can drop a screwdriver or small into, to hold it temporarily.

I purchased this ladder because I was sick of using a 2-step stepstool or trying to balance on my taller bar stools to hang curtains, clean fans or blinds etc. Perfect for a homeowner or apartment renter that doesn't want a huge ladder.PROS: This ladder is high enough that I can reach my 9 foot ceilings with relative ease. I can clean the fan blades and hang curtains NO PROBLEM. The little flip down part REALLY comes in handy as you don't have to keep getting all the way off the ladder to reach something. Set your hammer, nails, whatever you're using right on it. The ladder is lightweight, easy to carry and store and is sturdy once fully opened.CONS: I really don't have any complaints other than the joints that allow the ladder to open were a bit stiff upon arriving. A few sprays of WD-40 and now they open easily while still maintaining some resistance.DEFINITELY RECOMMEND especially for the price! I shopped around and you can't beat it!

This 5 foot ladder was delivered to my home within 3 days of the order date. It is not as sturdy as a wooden ladder, but it is a perfect height for painting walls, cleaning outside lights, and lots of other maintenance work. The 4-foot ladders are too short for me and the 6-foot ladders are too tall. I could only find 4 & 6-foot ladders at a brick & mortar store, so I was very pleased to find a 5-ft. one online. While not as sturdy as wood, it is light enough for me to carry and set up--I am 5 ft. 3 in. and weigh 125 lbs. & am 72 years old--in case you need to compare with your physical build. And interestingly, I am finding my husband choosing to use MY 5 ft. ladder rather than his wooden ones. So it must be the right height and weight for his use too. Would highly recommend this ladder for many uses.

I loved the fact that I can carry this ladder without getting another hernia! I’m 76 years old and I’m not as strong as I used to be in my younger days so it was very important for me to find something I could actually carry without straining my lower back. This is the perfect ladder!!

This is our second of these ladders. Our older son "borrowed" the first one some 7 years ago and we have to bargain to get it back for our own projects. Our younger son, who is recovering from a debilitating accident, was trying to use an old, heavy, wooden ladder. We bought this one for him because of it's light weight and stability. I guess it's time to order another one for us, because we're never getting that first one back.
