Transforma ladder by Renovator

Thinking of buying one of these ladders. Seen them advertised on TV a lot Rang the 0800 number - answered by someone in Manila who would not tell me the price but wanted me to take for 30 day trial. I said no trial I WANT TO BUY IT. Gave up on that. Now I see that Mitre10 Mega have them for $299. Has anyone bought this either over the phone or at MTM? What did you think of the ladder's overall performance? TIA.

Were they done for false advertising? Wouldn't touch them

I would recommend an Easy Access version of these ladders:

We purchased one from Bunnings and when one of the sliders started to jam contacted the manufacturer. Their reaction? They sent us a new one (and we got to keep the old one).

we have one , they are ever so heavy

we've had one for over ten years, yes they are heavy, but that's good in our opinion, they're not flimsly.
I understand that the stand that they give free, is not safe to stand on over a certain height, unless it is counter-weighted by another person, apparently the ladder is liable to tip. We have never used the stand. We HAVE used the gadget that keeps it away from the guttering, and it works well. I don't believe that one from Bunnings has that. Our neighbour works for Bunnings, bought one, but thinks ours may be slightly better. HE of course as a manager, got a good discount from Bunnings.
I wasn't aware that you talk to someone in Manilla, I'd insist on talking to someone from NZ, I know you can, I spoke to someone recently

I have a Werner ladder, which seems to be the same, only difference is I'm sure it was about $60 cheaper.

As the others have said, bloody heavy!

I have the Mighty Rhino from Bunning $249. Yes they are weighty but that's a good thing and they have wheels on the bottom

The Gorilla and Rhino ladders from Mitre10 and Bunnings are very similar but don't have all the extras. If you can tolerate the extra weight, get the 5 rung, rather than the 4 rung version - much better height reach.

I brought one when they first came on the market .15 plus years ago .Use it most days best ladder you could buy. The copy cats on the market are not as tough but are a lot cheaper

They are all copied from the original 'Hymer' brand which is a Trade quality product as opposed to Domestic and is accordingly expensive.

Bu from a shop as above, that place is bad. The call takers are following a script and they are not allowed to deviate. You will be asked for credit card, phone number and another calls back. They do the hard sell and if you balk, can drop the price by 50%.
They make it as hard as possible to return things too, be aware.

And 99.9% of their products are cheap knockoffs of better quality things already available.
