Bathla Safex 4-Step Aluminium Ladder for Home | Anti-Slip Steps | Sure-Hinge Technology | Edge Guards | Foldable Design | 5 Year Warranty

I recently bought this ladder, and I’m really happy with it! It’s strong, stable, and easy to fold and store. The quality feels premium, and it gives great balance while climbing. Perfect for home use — totally worth the price!

This is an early review and I am sharing my first thoughts on the product. This 5-step advance series Bathla ladder was delivered to me just this morning, i.e. within 2 days of me placing order during Amazon GIF. I should say the deal was good and I hurried to place my order on day 2 of the shopping festival. We have been thinking of getting a ladder for a good long time that would give us an easy access to the loft and other high areas in the home without risking ourselves. With suitcases and travel accessories stashed away in the loft after our last vacation late last year I don’t think there would be an immediate need to get them down anytime soon. The ladder came neatly packed in a cardboard box and a plastic sheet tightly wrapped around it. So, no damages or scratches should ideally happen after quality inspection and packaging. That’s what you and I would think but that was not the case. But let me start here with some positive note to give some credit to the product I am reviewing. Ladder is built very light which makes it easy to carry. In fact, you can carry it on one hand and not feel exhausted. Senior citizens are welcome to try and they would agree on this point. Though feels light to carry around but it surely feels solidly built and steady on its base when you have to use it. It can take up to 95 kgs…that’s company claim. There is a creaking sound from the steps when you climb up….yes, even on a brand new ladder. The platform and steps have ridges to give you the grip you need. I would recommend to use the ladder on barefoot just to be extra careful. A 5’5” height person can easily touch the ceiling standing on the platform. I personally feel the handle to hold should have been little longer when you’re at the platform. Folding design of the ladder makes it easy to store and consumes very little space. Anti-skid shoes feels assuring and absolutely no wobbling on a smooth tile surface. So, that’s all the good things about the ladder. Now comes the shortcomings I noticed within the first few hours of me receiving the product. Even though the ladder was packaged neatly and dispatched in a carton but there were couple of scratches on the product which I noticed on unwrapping the outer plastic sheet. The irony is Bathla calls the product scratch resistant. It questions the level of quality inspection it goes through before it gets to the market. Secondly, I noticed the aluminum finish gives away easily. So, quality and perfection is a bit questionable. See couple of photos I have attached in my review. I have read few reviews of earlier customers who have mentioned scratches and minor imperfections on the ladder when they received it. Bathla needs to take the feedback seriously and improve their quality control process. Lot is yet to be seen in the coming months/years on the ultimate quality of this product. Bathla claims the material used is high grade aluminum which is weather resistant and rust proof. All that will be seen in time to come. The 5 year warranty on the product may be a testament of the confidence Bathla have on their product and for a customer it is peace of mind. So, should you buy it. Yes, it is a good product at a reasonable price and in case you are not happy with the quality of the product or the unit you received there is always an option to return it (Disclaimer - check return policy on the product page as they do change from time to time). When I compared the price of this 5 step ladder at a local retailer and online...the difference was more than 1k...worth buying online.

Good product

This ladder is good enough for home use but its not suitable for heavy usages, Look of this ladder is so good, Its weight less, Sturdy while climbing through this ladder. The capacity this ladder can hold is 95 KG as per the manual book given by the manufacturer with this product. Moreover this product is comes with 5 years of manufaturer warranty.

Good sturdy, lightweight and designed properly, feel comfortable while using all the stairs.

Overall good one for home purpose and light usage. It is flimsy and shakes when a 80 kg person claims against advertised. I got it only for 2929 during sale and it is a value deal. I have purchased Bathla sure step five years ago which still stays like a champ, very strong and solid however I paid somewhere around 5000 that time, so I can understand why this is little weak compared to it; cost cutting. If I need to buy one more for any reason I would not buy this. Advantage is that, this is fully aluminium and so no worries about rusting for ever.

This ladder is extremely noisy, unstable, and unsafe. Local brands sell far more durable and reliable ladders than this. Even with a single user weighing only 55 kg, the ladder shakes badly and makes a lot of noise. The grip is very poor, which increases the risk of slipping. From the moment I opened the package, I wanted to return it. Both legs are the same size, which makes no sense for balance and weight support. How can anyone trust a 6-step ladder designed like this? It is not easy or comfortable to use. Someone must always stand nearby for support because using it alone feels scary. I bought this ladder for my parents, hoping it would be taller and easy to use, but now the entire family is afraid to use it. This product is a complete waste of money. I strongly advise others not to buy this ladder.

Build quality good .. But steps width must be more as final step.
