Cons
Con Can only be used once
Kidde’s instructions state that the ladder should be discarded after single use and that if it's used more than once this could result in injury or death. Instead, potential buyers are encouraged to practice with the hook assembly only, without deploying the rung bundle. To this end, if you feel that practicing with the rungs is crucial prior to an actual emergency, you should purchase a second ladder for training purposes. Needless to say, this is an unnecessary expense.
Con Tricky to set up and use
Users have reported great confusion when it comes to setting up this ladder. First of all, it's initially somewhat unclear as to how the Kidde hook grabs the house, while secondly, the hook positions the rungs away from the house, making the descent more difficult.
