Amazon.com Product Description
If you live in a two-story home, the 14-foot long First Alert fire escape ladder can give you an extra means of escape in a home fire. Its compact size stores easily, and is ready to use in under one minute, allowing you to quickly react and take action. Adults can help guide children and elderly family members down the ladder, providing a safer escape than jumping. Store the ladder where it can be immediately accessed such as near the window, under a bed, or in the front part of a closet. Do not store the ladder on another floor of your home. If you have more than one second-floor room requiring an alternate means of escape, store a fire ladder in each room. The First Alert fire escape ladder is constructed with all-steel brackets and wrung with DuPont brand strapping. The ladder easily attaches to an open window sill with its oversize hooks and stabilizer bars. It comes fully assembled and ready to use in an attractive four-color box with carrying handle. Its strong steel construction is tested to 1,125 lbs and comes with a 6-year limited warranty. Tested to ASTM standards.--Bree Norlander What's in the Box

 Consider your window placement on the lower level 1st August 15, 2007

Once the owners manual was read it became clear this would not work on our colonial style home. The manual indicates the need for a flat surface with no windows or other obstructions under the window in which you would place the ladder. In our case, the 2nd story overhangs a foot or two from the 1st story, problem #1. There are also windows directly below the windows on the 2nd story, problem #2, which are an issue even if the house was flush/flat all the way down. The idea is the ladder needs a flat surface to rest against when climbing down. If it hits a window, it could break the glass and cause injuries. In a fire, I'd risk that, but with our overhang, we have the added issue of no flat surface to rest against meaning the ladder would dangle once you get out of the 2nd story window. The only other possible windows each have a "bay" window below which again won't allow a flush/flat surface to have the ladder rest upon. As far as the quality, it appears great. In my opinion, better than the other leading brand.

We tried this ladder and it works well. It is not pleasant crawling out a 2nd story window but this ladder performs well after you do. It's easy to deploy with a strap holding the rungs together until mounted. You open the big velcro strap to let them fall. The rubber feet seem less likely to damage the wall or cut through siding than the sharp metal standoffs on some other ladders. There was no warning about one-time use on this ladder so we practiced. This is critical to both test the function and become familiar with it before any emergency use. With some strap refolding I got it back into the strap and original box cleanly.
Very cheap protection against being trapped by a fire.

Consumers need to purchase the right ladder for their windowsill. I had to return the two-story ladder for a 3-story ladder because my windowsill depth was wider than the 2-story could accommodate. The EL52 First Alert Fire Escape Ladder user's manual says, "The window should be at least 20 inches (51 cm) wide and 32 inches (81 cm) high to give you enough clearance to exit safely. The windowsill width should be between a minimum of 6 inches (15 cm) and a maximum of 10 inches (25 cm). Measure windowsill from outside to inside." Be sure to get the right ladder for your windowsill depth.

Luckily, we have not yet had to use our fire ladder. The product seems very sturdy and was packaged very nicely - easy to access in time of emergency! We looked for some time for a fire escape ladder and this one seemed to be priced the best and offer the best quality. If needed, I am hopeful it will work well for us . . .

It is an Avis Strap style material... like a very thin seat belt. It will burn, and can be cut/ripped if damaged. On the package it says STEEL is tested for 1125#, but IN the package is says not to exceed 375 pounds. The rungs are strong but the strapping is weak. The rest of the family can burn or jump while Dad carries one to safety. That is, if it doesn't decay, or be attacked by moths and mold before we need to use it. Nice.
Other ladders are all steel and a better deal. I'm disappointed First Alert has to revert to misleading sales gimmicks to unload these products.
