Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde KL-2S Two-Story Fire Escape Ladder with Anti-Slip Rungs, 13-Foot
Customer Review: Better than the E-Xit Ladder
Summary: 1 Stars
while this is better than the e-xit ladder it still is junk. web ladders are not as safe as chain laddersCustomer Review: Buy the original, not the rip-off
Summary: 1 Stars
After I purchased this item, I found out that Kidde ripped off the design for this product(down to the picture of mom and pop on the packaging) from a mom and pop company named "X-IT" and so I have returned it.
X-IT sued and won damages from Kidde, but apparently the judgment did not include any method of restraining Kidde from continuing to sell their rip-off design.
Customer Review: Difficult to review - unless you've used it to escape a fire!
Summary: 4 Stars
The instructions tell you to only use this once. So difficult to review how well it works.
But it look well made, and I like the design - folds small, but functional.
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
Okay, I'm competing with the reviews of firefighters so I will explain my disappointment. First, I don't get this "one time use" thing. How am I supposed to "drill" my family if I can't use it twice? As the firefighters would agree, the time to learn how to use a fire extinguisher is NOT during a fire. The same goes for this ladder. We drill and train so we know what to expect; how are we to know what to expect if we can't use it? Even the reviewer who stated he opened the box of a later purchase only to learn it was wrapped and packed in a way that would make it quite difficult to deal with in the event of an emergency. No, this thing is ridiculous. And if you stop and think about it, drilling aside, who would use it twice anyway? If you end up having to escape a fire more than once in your lifetime you're sure to win the lottery on the first try! The instructions also state to throw it out after fifteen years... "Gee honey (as the flames are licking your body), is this ladder 15 or 16 years old?" With all the disclaimers in the instructions, including the statement that you should not deploy the ladder into flames (like who in the world would do that?!); they don't suggest writing the date on it so you'll know when to buy a new one. Nope, sorry, don't like it, I'm probably bringing mine back for the QuickEscape Emergency Escape Chain Ladder by Bold Industries. It's the only Underwriters Laboratories UL Classified escape ladder in the world. Don't get me wrong, the Kidde is absolutely better than nothing. But there are a lot of cheesy products out there that we accept, I'm not going to skimp on something like this. I'd say the lives of me and my family are worth 100 bucks, wouldn't you?Customer Review: Emergency fire escape ladder
Summary: 4 Stars
I had recently completed an addition to the attic at my home to a bedroom and needed a way to "get out" in case of emergency.
The Kidde fire escape ladder seemed to be the best choice for the money and Amazon had the best price by far. I received the product quickly and am very pleased with the ladder overall.
Other than being just a bit bulky to store, (considering the alternative if a fire were to break out!) the Kidde fire escape ladder is just the thing to give me peace of mind. It is sturdy and strong enough to support multiple people on the ladder at the same time if necessary.
