Love my Little Giant. Wish I had this newer model with the wheel kit. Best ladder around and one of the favorite tools/home improvement items that I own.
I wouldn’t be surprised. I can no longer find good bargains on Woot. Pretty much all of the deals are only marginal deals and I need to spend time/effort looking at other websites to see if I can find a better value… and I usually do I miss the old sure-deal Woot…
How is this a deal? You can buy a brand new one for $15 more and have free shipping (which you can’t get here) on Amazon…and this is for a factory recertified product, not a brand new one…usually you get a discount for buying a repaired product.
Woot, you’re losing your shine with the savvy buyers…
I bought an M-22 a few weeks back here on Woot, and I couldn’t find it for a comparable price. Looks like Amazon’s price for an M-22 is $235 compared to this price of $180. And Woot lists the ladder as ‘new’ not repaired. So while I often find Woot deals aren’t that great, I want to defend this one.
I have already used my ladder on stairs with different heights on each side of the ‘A’ configuration, as well as in max extension mode to reach the 19 foot ceiling in one of my stairwells.
When it comes to certain merchandise like LARGE, BULKY or UNIQUE items I try to purchase them locally unless the price differential is so great you would be crazy not to buy on line.
So for me I would buy something like this local. Its not like the price is a to good to pass up. You have a problem with it or want to exchange it for a different model in the trunk it goes and off to the friendly local store for an exchange or refund. You can’t do that here.
I have one of these. What I find is that when I need a 6’ or lower ladder I don’t use it. It is heavy to carry around (I guess I need to work out or something). I find the shelf that goes on it (which they are not selling) very useful. It does operate fairly easily and doesn’t require brute strength to get the pins in and out. Just wish somehow it didn’t weigh a zillion pounds.

Actually, If you buy the 22’ you save exactly $60 and that’s if you have prime. To me that’s a substantial savings.
