Bathla Advance 6-Step Foldable Aluminium Ladder for Home | Heavy Duty & Anti-Slip Steps | 5 Year Manufacturer Warranty | with Sure-Hinge Technology (Orange)

Very useful for home usage, to access the lofts, etc. Sturdy but lightweight, so easy to carry around in the house.

Ladder is a must have item for any home, and you really find useful in day-to-day tasks. Or you keep on asking neighbors if they have or do some jugaad of staking tables one above another. I was also looking for a ladder for my home for a variety of tasks ranging from DIY installations to household cleaning. This particular ladder caught my attention, as it checked most of the requirements I had in my mind (quality, material, ergonomic considerations, safety aspects, looks, etc), so I went ahead with it.🎁 INSIDE BOX•••••••••••••••••••→ 1x Seven step ladder with basic guideDimensionsTotal height: ~2000mmHeight till platform: ~1560mmWidth of ladder (viewed from steps side): ~min 300mm max 550mmCross section of platform: ~250mm x 250mmWidth of steps: ~85mmSpread of legs: ~1200mm➕ PROS••••••••••••1. Sturdy staircase with foldable design making it easier to carry and store2. Each step of ladder is wide enough for easy step on and climbing, and comes with projections to prevent slippage3. Folding mechanism is soft, smooth, and stable with lock in platform to prevent auto closure or further spread of front and rear rails4. Top platform automatically open/close with ladder unfold/fold, which is a great. Once its in fully open position, just press the platform to lock in to create a stable truss kind of design4. Two straps in place to link front and rear rails on both sides to limit the spread of legs5. Its extremely light weight to carry, compared to the no of steps and design because of wise choice of material. At my hometown, we have iron fabricated similar ladder and its too heavy to carry around.6. Each leg has rubbery plastic shoe to prevent slippage7. Front and rear side rails are well supported at two places with circular pipe to provide stability8. Comes with long term warranty support of 5 years to offer peace of mind➖ CONS••••••••••••1. It creaks and makes noises during usage, while you step on and climb up/down, which may be mainly due to aluminium joints rubbing against each other. It should not be a safety issue, but noise may irritate a few users.2. Theres no lock to keep it locked in folded position for better storage. I personally tie both front and rear side rail with a ribbon/rope to keep it locked in position during storage on the side area of the wardrobe. I have reserved 4-5 inch space between side of wardrobe and wall.3. Anti slip arrangement could have been better, as this one slips sometimes, as its just round grooves on the platform and steps. Could have installed anti slip mats for better protection considering the price point.4. Considering the height of 7 step ladder, for real rails more horizontal supports would have been better. Currently its 3 including platform support pipe.❗ IMPORTANT/TIPS•••••••••••••••••••••••••••1. Carefully identify your usage scenario to not have redundant extra steps, which unnecessarily will increase height and weight, thereby impacting its portability. I made that mistake, and brought 7 step one for household work while my ceiling height itself is 2800mm. It becomes difficult to carry it around. Even for the ceiling work I have never stepped on the top platform, rather use it to keep frequently used stuff as per usage scenario or use it as a tools tray.2. Avoid keeping it in direct sunlight to avoid decomposition of plastic components used across (becomes brittle and breaks easily). Although every mechanism and joint has metallic connection, and plastic is for aesthetics, but still. Even the strap would decompose sooner if exposed to direct sunlight.3. While using ladder, lets say for drilling kind of work, don't have full weight on the platform or single step, rather spread it across. One foot on platform and another on lower step to provide better grip and force for drilling work, and further better stability.✍ FINAL VERDICT••••••••••••••••••••••••This ladder had been super helpful for my household work, be it fixing lights, installation of fans, drilling work, cleaning, accessing lofts, etc. So far, it has never disappointed me in past 2 years of usage across the home, as still as good as new. Just that be mindful of usage scenario as mentioned in the above section, and you can be assured about long term service.

The procuct is very nice. Good quality and sturdy.

Great product. Looks sturdy.

Very light and useful . Got at discounted price

Overall, the product is decent, but the price seems high for the quality it offers.The product description is misleading. I ordered a 6-step Advance ladder advertised as weighing 6.6 kg, but the actual weight is only 4.3 kg. The listed dimensions are also incorrect. Furthermore, the ladder's steps bend slightly when in use. While it may be suitable for light home use, it is not designed for heavy-duty purposes.The product warranty only covers manufacturing defects and normal wear and tear, and NO damage cover caused by the product's lower quality compared to its stated specifications.Numerous reviews point out inaccuracies in the product description. Amazon, as a selling platform, should address the issue of misleading product information and ensure greater transparency regarding product quality.

Sturdy, safe, and easy to use! This ladder has a strong build, anti-slip steps, and a wide base for stability. Lightweight yet durable, making it perfect for both home and professional use. The foldable design and compact storage are a bonus. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable ladder!"
