Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde KL-2S Two-Story Fire Escape Ladder with Anti-Slip Rungs, 13-Foot
Customer Review: One use only? How are you supposed to practice?
Summary: 1 Stars
I didn't read the fine print until we got the box - this ladder can only be used once, which means no practice in how to use it or using it in a fire drill. How are you supposed to be ready for an emergency if you can't practice first?Customer Review: Only good once!
Summary: 2 Stars
Seems a bit flimsy, not sure how comfortable I'll be if I have to actually use it. Directions say only good for one use. If that's the case, it should say so in the description. It also means I can't try it out to be sure everyone in my family can use it OK so we aren't trying to figure it out while a fire is raging around us. I had another one years ago that was much better built than this one. We were able to test it and be sure we could do it in case of an emergency.Customer Review: Question Before I Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
What I wanna know is how quick does it take to set this up from start to ready to step on it. Remember, in a fire, there is precious little time to set it up.
Also, is it light enough for my seven year old to set it up by herself if heaven-forbid that becomes necessary? The chain ones are worthless. They are so heavy and get so tangled and are so hard to deploy, that unless you have it hanging outside 24/7/365 you will never get it set up in time during a fire. Keeping it unfurled at all times is impractical in this crime-ridden city.
The last reviewer's comments were utterly worthless. Because it's a knock-off that means it is not able to do the job? Even he admits that it looks better than the item it was intended to knock-off. I was expecting lawsuits based upon the ladders undependability or it being unsafe for use in a fire. Instead, the lack of noise in that direction seems to indicate that this is a good choice to make.
If you have an answer to the first questions I have posed, please leave a review with an answer. Thanks!
Customer Review: Read the package
Summary: 1 Stars
I have returned this package because the box labelling indicated that after the ladder is used for the first time, then it must be discarded because additional use may cause death or injury. Also the instructions indicated an adult needs to come out and stabalize the ladder before any children use the ladder. How are we supposed to practice a fire escape plan if we have to order a new ladder after every practice? Also, the children may need to go out without any parents providing stabalizing support. This ladder should be not be sold if after every practice, we have to order a new one. That costs too much money.Customer Review: UPSTAIRS SAFETY
Summary: 5 Stars
WE LIVE IN A HOME WITH NO ESCAPE ROUTE FROM THE UPSTAIRS AND IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WE NEEDED A WAY OUT OF THE WINDOW.
THIS LADDER WAS BOTH VERY AFFORDABLE, EASY TO QUICKLY SET UP AND LONG ENOUGH SO IN CASE WE EVER DO HAVE TO USE IT NO ONE SHOULD HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.
