Review 1 for Cosco World's Greatest Ladder, 17-Foot
Git 'er done!
,05/18/2009

This ladder is everything I needed. NOT YOUR DADDY'S EXTENSION LADDER! Old extention ladders used to be so heavy and almost dangerous! This ladder is lightweight and easy to use and safe. Very versatile.

excellent ladder

I lost two of these ladders in Hurricane Ike. This new model is an improved product. I like the stability in the folded set up. It is much better than an 8 foot stepladder.

Ladder
,03/16/2009
By Mickers ,
Carson, CA
I like this ladder very much except it is a little hard to work. It is heavy and unwieldly. I ordered it because it was aluminum and I thought it would be lighter. I needed a versitile ladder so I guess it is what I wanted.

Really good ladder. Took a minute to figure out how exactly it works, but once I figured it out I saw the potential. So many uses, so little time. Definitely worth the money.

Review 5 for Cosco World's Greatest Ladder, 17-Foot
Very happy with this purchase
,02/08/2009
By LonghornTX ,
Texas
I needed a ladder. I don't own a truck. I doubt it if I can tie an 8 foot step ladder on top of my compact car and drive home safety. This particular item solved my problem. It fits into my corolla (with some efforts, though). It is heavy but feel very solid, very stable. I was considering the smaller version (13'). However, I am glad I decided to buy this one (17'). It only costs about $10 more, and it better serves my purpose. My two story house has high ceiling.

By woodyone ,

This is the second Cosco ladder I have purchased. I left the first one in NY with my daughter. This ladder is great for getting at higher places inside or out. It can be a little cumbersome to operate the locking devices as the ladder is somewhat heavy (about 45#) but it is rock solid, well built and versatile. Value for the money is much better than other similar products. I would buy one again (and I did!)

Review 10 for Cosco World's Greatest Ladder, 17-Foot
Some walmarts have them in store
,01/04/2009
By MarkH82 ,
Pittsburgh
This ladder was available at my local store. I bought it 12/30/08, and it was only 109$ so it might be worth checking to see if it is at you local walmart. In my walmart a couple of different ladders were on display between the tools and lighting depts. It fits right in the cart skinny side down, and we even put groceries in the cart with the ladder. I put it in the back seat of my van and it would easily fit in most car back seats.

This is the second one of these I have purchased. I have one for home and one for the farm.
They are sturdy, lightweight, and portable. I can use them as step ladders up to about 8 ft or as extension ladders up to about 17 ft. They break down and set up very effortlessly. Best of all, I can haul them in my car. You can't beat the value.

I have used this item twice since I purchasd it from Walmart. This ladder is safe if used correctly but is a little cumbersome to set up and take down. It is heavy for the average person and the main advantage is the storage space. Good for occassional use,but I wouldn't buy it for daily use. The smaller models may be handier and easier to use. This one you have to extend out before using it then stand it up and manuver it to where you need it. For one person it could be a challenge.

Excellent ladder doubles as scaffolding. Used this ladder for a recent roofing job. My buddy was so impressed that he bought one the same day. A+++.

Cosco 17' ladder
,12/01/2008
By JohnMC70 ,
Novi, Mi
I'm very pleased with the ladder. It operates very smoothly and I think the hinge design is very good. The only thing keeping me from giving this a 5 star rating was the design of the 2nd scaffold. The 2 individual ladder sections just rest against each other with one of the locking pins keeping them together. There is nothing to keep the ladder from closing for this 2nd scaffolding section. Other than this one detail though, the ladder seems very sturdy, safe, and easy to use.

Review 18 for Cosco World's Greatest Ladder, 17-Foot
Cosco Ladder Evaluation--Great
,11/30/2008
By PineywoodsRooter ,
Jasper, TX
17 foot ladder similar to Little Giant, but less expensive, and just as good. I use to get on top of barn and house roofs. Flared top and bottom are reassuring up off the ground. Ladder is solid and should last decades. Only downside--it is heavy. Probably 40 or so pounds. You need to drive it to where you plan to use it. Great ladder

If you need a ladder buy this one.

It has nice safety features and 2 sets of instructions. Folds down to a nice small and managable size. I have used it multiple times and ways since receiving it. I am happy with it.

Great

This is a great ladder. I bought it to paint our 18 foot high ceilings. I thought I was going to have to spend $300 plus on a similar ladder. I weigh 220lbs, and I was standing at the top of the ladder fully extended and felt comfortable. It is also very versatile being able to walk up and down both sides when it is bent.
