From the Manufacturer Five times as durable as any ladder in its class, the Little Giant is made of heavy-wall 6005-T5 aluminum. Though the Little Giant has an official workload capacity of 300 pounds, this handy stepladder has been tested to withstand four times that amount without structural failure. The Little Giant is so versatile it does the work of five different styles of A-frame ladders, nine extension ladders of various lengths, two scaffolding trestles with five heights, ten staircase ladders (for working on uneven surfaces) and four 90-degree ladders-for less than half the price! All this in one convenient, more durable and easy-to-store ladder system. The Little Giant is available in Models Thirteen, Seventeen, Twenty-Two and Twenty-Six. Your purchase includes unit includes a handy work platform.

Good, but expensive
It works well but the gorilla is similar and far cheaper. See a video comparison at http://www.infonotmercial.com/littlegiant-gorilla.html
I have the little giant, but a friend has the gorilla and he paid far less at Costco.
More than a gimmick
I was always a little leary of spending the big bucks they want for this ladder, thinking it was overly gimmicky infomercial rip off. I had a chance to work with a borrowed one and wasn't really impressed. When my local big orange retail giant discontinued them, they had the display model really cheap, I just had to pick it up. This ladder has grown on me. It collapse into a short package hardly larger than a 4 ft. step ladder, and fully open it is either an 17 ft. straight or a 7 ft. step.
It works on steps and in stair wells great.
The only thing that I really don't care for is the weight.
