Little Giant Ladder Systems, Velocity with Wheels, M22, 22 Ft, Multi-Position Ladder, Aluminum, Type 1A, 300 lbs Weight Rating, (15422-001)

Well thought out design. Easy to use, even for me at 73 years old. Expands to an 8 ft step ladder it’s ease. Very stable, lightweight and easy to carry. A bit more expensive but worth every penny.

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.

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.

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 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.

Easy to adjust height etc. doesn’t take long to figure out. The flared legs on the bottom give extras support-it feels very sturdy. To be fair, it is heavier than your average ladder- because the aluminum is thicker for strength , etc. but it does have wheels at the bottom, so that helps with maneuverability. It is worth the hype, and is a good design. Husband was on it cleaning out the gutters, while Little Me stood at the bottom watching out- all went well, and we both were confident that it was safe…and yes, i did get on it and climbed up to clean out a gutter -it felt very safe, I wasn’t wobbly at all. We bought a used one..it was just like new, only cheaper..:) the box was heavy, and had to be delivered specially, so keep that in mind when you order it..you may have to pick it up at the post office..though I don’t know how your postal service is for you. Just be aware of when it’s coming and how you’ll be getting it…just be careful folks ..it’s heavy. And we think it’s worth it. I hope this helps …you who’ve been thinking about a new , and better ladder. Cheers !!

To heavy and hard to handle. But sturdy

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!

The ladder is perfect. Easily adjustable, strong and not heavy. I bought the leveler option which provides even more stability in unusual positions I suggest watching the video online about the various settings.

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

Very stable (I weigh 240lbs and it’s solid as a rock) but quite heavy as the trade-off. Only criticism concerns the care needed when adjusting length etc of ladder as VERY easy to get fingers caught if you aren’t super careful. Various ways of using it make it vastly different from other ladders and have meant me being able to access areas other ladders would not be able to. Highly recommended but watch those fingers!

Sturdy ladder, commercial grade & security
