Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert EL52-2 Two-Story 14-Foot Escape Ladder
Customer Review: Best deal for the money...
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this product because it is easy to use and it's sturdy. Just make sure you don't have a window directly beneath the window you are climbing out of. If you do, this product won't work because you would be putting too much pressure on the window on the lower level and could possibly break it. But, the product itself is great. Perfect for my situation.Customer Review: Consider your window placement on the lower level 1st

Once the owners manual was read it became clear this would not work on our colonial style home. The manual indicates the need for a flat surface with no windows or other obstructions under the window in which you would place the ladder. In our case, the 2nd story overhangs a foot or two from the 1st story, problem #1. There are also windows directly below the windows on the 2nd story, problem #2, which are an issue even if the house was flush/flat all the way down. The idea is the ladder needs a flat surface to rest against when climbing down. If it hits a window, it could break the glass and cause injuries. In a fire, I'd risk that, but with our overhang, we have the added issue of no flat surface to rest against meaning the ladder would dangle once you get out of the 2nd story window. The only other possible windows each have a "bay" window below which again won't allow a flush/flat surface to have the ladder rest upon. As far as the quality, it appears great. In my opinion, better than the other leading brand.Customer Review: Dee in LA

This ladder is very compact and fits neatly on a bottom shelf in our guest room. Appears very sturdy. Hope we never need to use it.Customer Review: Emergency escape ladder

I ordered this with some trpidation - afraid of the thick walls of the building - not knowing how the hooks might work - was delighted to find that they hooked handily and sturdily to the radiator.
If you can climb out a window - you can use this ladder.

This was a gift for our grand daughter and her husband. They are very pleased with it and I rest easier knowing they have an escape route from their upper story.
