Just went room to room changing out old ceiling lights with the truly heavy AF HF Franklin ladder. First had to carry it from the basement to 2nd floor. Never cared about ladder weight until now and it's the only thing I care about now. How does this thing compare to the Franklin 18' weight-wise?

Quote from jeffmiller1125 :
It's less than 35 lbs for this 18 ft. It's probably very similar to my 6 ft aluminum werner and can support more weight (300 lbs vs 225 lbs).

To be fair, your Werner is very likely under 15lbs (according to spec).

That said, owning one of these, the weight is not a huge issue for carrying. What IS problematic is when you switch out of A frame and try to get the full 18 ft. These are really top heavy at that point. Since you aren't telescoping them, you are forced trying to find a means by which to carefully lift and then place the ladder appropriately. This is easy when up against a brick wall, but as soon as you need to go over some bushes or similar, you may very well need to tie a rope to the top rung just to avoid the ladder slamming into the gutters.

The other annoyance (YMMV) is extending this thing in A frame configuration. Minor, to be sure, but it is certainly a lot more difficult than simply opening an 8' a frame.

They are quite useful if you can only have 1 ladder, but, for my part, I would take your Werner A frame and then get a small telescoping aluminum or fiberglass ladder if you need the full 18' of height. I own all three variants (28' telescoping) and still go for the telescoping most times when I need to hit ~18'.

Pluses and minuses to everything of course. For a "one ladder fits all" solution on a 1-story house, this is probably your best bang for buck.

The specs say this Gorilla ladder is 31 lbs, so it is on the heavy side.

You would be able to return it easier with Costco. It might be worth the extra cost.
Of the 2 I would say the gorilla seems to be slightly more durable but they both seem pretty solid and the design is basically the same. A lot of the ground around my house is uneven so for me the $50 is worth it if it avoids one fall, have definitely had other ladders tip over on me after shoving rocks or sticks under a leg trying to get them even. If your just using it on flat surfaces I think the gorilla would be great.

Which one you use when you have to reach 15 - 16ft to reach center of a high ceiling?

It was delivered and it was not as heavy as expected but one of the foot was literally bent inwards. Off to return it

Got this last week. Put my Christmas lights up with it, and I was surprised how much I liked it. I would highly recommend it at this price point.

how much is the little giant in store at Costco right now? Online they have a promo, but in store should be cheaper. Those leg levelers and wheels sound worthwhile. May pay $30-$40 more.

You'll want a 12ft ladder like this one https://www.homedepot.com/p/Werne.../100664451

This is a good ladder. Picked one up Sunday. Solid. Good reach. Stable.

Thank you. LOL! I said I would get the little giant if it was $30 or $40 more. So of course it is $50 more for leg levelers and wheels.I find the 18' ones not that heavy to carry, so it is 50% more for levelers. grr. Will prob pass and get the gorilla. The major difference to my eye is that the gorilla rivets the steps and little giant welds the steps. Not sure it makes much difference for occasional homeowner use.

I would get one with leg levelers if you live in a hilly area. I have a Werner model right now that doesn't have the feature and am not able to use that ladder at all locations around the house.

That makes sense. I have only one place around the house where a ladder is on dirt. Everywhere else it is concrete, so while levelers are nice to have, its not worth $50 for me. But thanks for the comment. I am trying to get rid of 2 ladders and consolidate to this one, plus a stepladder. BTW, I tried different stepladders and BY FAR, the most useful stepladder is sold by the container store (not a hardware store) made by Polder. It has deep steps, a handrail up top and it weighs almost nothing (all aluminum). It is so easy to move around that I use it instead of a 3 step stepstool. And I have 10 foot ceiltings, So this Polder + a Gorilla is all the ladders I need around the house. I am getting rid of: extension ladder, werner fiberglass stepladder, 3 step stepstool.
