First Alert Three-Story Fire Escape Ladder, 24 Feet, Steel, Anti-Slip, Black

Very pleased with this. My son is on the third floor and this is more than enough length for him to get out of the house 😊

Just can’t tell you how it works in an emergency and hope to never be able to, but it looks like it will do the job and will give you better footing because of the spacer on the steps.

First off, selling a "single use" ladder for $120+ and recommending people buy 2 so they can try one out then throw it away is... still better than a fiery death, but.....So, go ahead and open up the box and take a look at the hooks, put them on your windowsill and ask yourself if everyone but you has 12"+ thick walls.If you don't, this does not sit at a reassuring angle, especially if you plan to climb over it onto the ladder. If your interior trim stands proud of the wall that could be the only thing the tops of the hooks are touching, and possibly not the sort of carpentry you want to stake your life on. I, personally, did not get on this until I had added a few 2x4's to the window and some tubing clamps around the hooks, then I started up from the bottom. I'm still alive BTW.The treads on this are wide enough, sturdy, and the stand-off pegs on either side are effective and a big improvement. That said, if you deploy this ladder above another window, and try to climb down with a quickness, I wouldn't be surprised if the ladder & your feet went through said window, so maybe don't use this barefoot-The other surprising factor is that the webbing used to hold the treads has a noticeable amount of stretch, more than a few inches. Maybe adrenaline will help you ignore this, but the whole experience is pretty bouncy moving slowly, probably more when you speed up.Lastly, the reason they tell you to chuck this after trying it (not a quality judgment!), is that they think the average human can't possibly figure-out how to re-pack this the way they found it--which is folded in half with feet pointing out, and the webbing carefully folded towards the center when two treads are pushed together.It's your life, any good reason you would be careless putting this back in the box? Save the box, look at how it is packed, take a picture. If you want to use this again after trying it, understand there are a half-dozen ways you are taking your life in your hands, and carefully repacking it is only one of them .So, better than waiting for someone else to save you? Yes.Something that will work the way you hope first time in a super stressful situation? NoShould you buy it? Maybe make it plan B.... or plan C.

Clearly not new, as advertised on the listing and the order details.I would not have purchased this and am now out of my return window.

Seems well made and easy to understand how to use it.

A gift for my daughter's apartment. Arrived on time and no damage. Have purchased the same years ago for a tenant but luckily have never had an opportunity to use one. Can't speak directly to its use but I wouldn't want to be in a situation where I didn't have an escape route in a fire.

Arrived on time and well packaged, though the box one of them was in was damaged causing the carry handle to break the moment used it.I ordered a two story version for the last house I lived in, and was so impressed with the quality and capacity that when I moved into this place and it required three story I ordered two immediately. Like the last one I bought, they are well constructed, solidly made, and very easy to deploy.These ladders are a classic case of better to have and never need, than to need and not have.I hope I never HAVE to use them, but they are by the bedroom windows of the place just in case we do.Would not hesitate to buy again if needed them.

Wanted one that had steps that would not turn while walking down. Also wanted stand offs to make it easier to grip ladder and go down without your feet hitting off the side of the house. Get the right one! Well made.

From all appearances it looks well built and sturdy for the job. However the only way any one would be able to test it, would be to climb out of a 3 story window. product is made by a respected safety company.
