Heavy, but no longer a problem for me

Carrying a 25-lb. box of litter from my local pet food store is not easy at my age, even for the short trip to my car. I thought I would have to get married just to have someone carry the box of litter from my car to my home (just kidding). Imagine how happy I was to discover that I can get the 42-pound size, at a much better value, and my friendly UPS guy brings it to me for only a $5 shipping charge. With shipping, it costs more or less the same price I would pay at the local pet food store, except I don't have to carry it. Beware though of drastic price fluctuations. I purchased the 42-lb. size for a regular price of $33 before shipping and tax. A couple of months later, the price is $43. You might want to window shop for the best price and value.

As for the EverClean litter itself, after trying an extensive variety, my cat decided she likes this brand and texture. EverClean does the job of minimizing nasty odors and clumps up tightly (unlike some litters that crumble). The only negative is that it is definitely not dust free as advertised. I wear a mask to avoid breathing in the dust that rises as I scoop the litter clean. The dust adheres to everything around it, adding to my cleanup chores. In my opinion, any clay-based litter that promotes itself as dust free or almost dust free should be fined for false advertising. I do like the packaging of the 42-lb. size that is delivered to me. The litter is packed in a soft-sided plastic bag similar in strength and thickness as the material used to package kibble. The bag wraps around the litter and held in place by two wide strips of adhesive tape. Undo the adhesive and there is a zipper device to open and close the bag. As you use litter, the bag wraps up into a smaller bundle. There is also a handy pull-up handle in the center of the bag to aid in picking up the litter bag.

I was afraid when I got it that it might be a lighter-weight plastic and easily pushed around, but I was quite pleased to discover it's fairly weighty. It didn't take my older cat any time at all to figure out all the games. My younger cat took longer (in part because she's not as curious), but now after several months, they've both figured out all the games. But because they will keep going until they've pulled out all the treats (and then one cat gets it all & the other gets nothing), I don't leave it filled with treats or regular food -- I only put some in when I'm planning on hanging around to make sure all's fair.

Great Quality. However, it is heavy compared to all others I have owned.

The base could be heavier, but it mostly works for what I need it to do.

I've had this for about a year now, and there are no problems with it.  It's heavy, but it's strong enough to absorb the abuse I put it through.

Everyone who said this thing was heavy was RIGHT. I mean, I knew it would weigh a lot, but I wasn't expecting it to weigh as much as it does. with the solid build of this thing, I feel confident it will protect my bike in the city, but I'm not looking forward to lugging it around on my bike in the meantime. This is probably better suited for an electric/motor vehicle given the weight, but I suppose if you have a very expensive bike, it makes sense for that too. I'm contemplating returning for a smaller chain, but on the fence at the moment.

Update: Removing 1 star- peeved that the "anti-theft protection program" DOES NOT APPLY IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. I did not see that ANYWHERE on the listing here... and am pretty upset that I've already opened it and everything. The whole reason I opted for this larger, more expensive chain was BECAUSE I was in NYC. Clearly, this lock must not be all it's made out to be if they can omit an entire state from service. Shame on you OnGuard. Will be telling everyone in the bike community about this (in case they didn't already know).

Also, the little flash light on the main, big key was delivered with a burnt out LED. So much for being useful.

Very utilitarian. Heavy weight but awkwardly large.

Heavier than expected, awkward to carry around.  Works as advertised.

Although this is fairly heavy and adjusting is not trivial, it is a nice solid ladder. I needed a 21 foot ladder to reach my ceiling in the lobby area and I used the standoff from Little giant, which fits well. This allowed to me reach where I needed. I also was able to use in A-frame mode for some lights in the garage. So, happy about all of this.
Raising and lower is hard, but I suspect it is will any of these. You cannot do purely by laying on the floor because you likely then cannot rotate to the vertical. But, care and watching where your hands are will save you from hurting yourself. I actually experimented with a rope over an upper step and then down and attached to the sliding step, so I could lower it more safely (raising is easier).
I like the wide base and even at full extension it was not too wobbly (much better than my shorter fiberglass one). I used a rope around the ladder and attached to a couch leg to stabilize it so it could not pull away from the upper wall. This made it very comfortable to be that high up.

This thing is heavy and solid - no question it could  hold the 300 lbs it claims.
Shipping was less than stellar though, it comes shipped in the original box, no second box protecting it.  There are styrofoam fitted pieces to keep things in place in the box, but in my case they broke and I had things shifting around quite a bit.  Nothing was damaged, but the box was bashed up enough that I couldn't have returned this had I wanted to.  And the styrofoam broke into all the tiny little pieces that are so dang messy and stick to everything.  So I ended up unboxing it in my garage and bringing pieces in one at a time after cleaning them off.  That took more time than assembly.

Assembly was easy - instructions are adequate if not great, and while they supply the tools, I did pull out a screwdriver of my own since I didn't like the bottle-opener style screwdriver they supplied.

Solid - very solid.  It assembles well, I had no problems with anything lining up.

I had expected a padded table for some reason (never used one before) so was surprised that this was just a plasticy weaved sheet of something stretched over a frame.  Oddly enough, it's very comfortable, and works well.

Headrest only has three positions, and it has to be unscrewed at two points and moved.  Since I'll be the only user, it's not an issue, but for people of varying heights who will share this, it may be a pain if you want to use this - otherwise you can makeshift your own.

I don't like the ankle system.  I'm 6'2", and it's a pain getting my feet in there, the cuffs in the right position, and releasing it to "clamp" down - since the spring is so weak, it doesn't clamp well, so I need to be able to push it tighter against my ankles.  I seem to have just the wrong diameter ankles, since I can't QUITE find the comfortable spot.  Either slightly tight, or slightly loose.  I'll have to experiment with different socks to find the perfect setup.  But while it's a pain for me as far as the way it operates, once it's in place, it does hold well, and I feel confident that it will keep me in place.

Only other thing I didn't care for is the "floating" handles - there's only two points it secures to the frame, and it leaves them a bit wiggly.  Nothing that's insecure or anything, just annoying.  I don't want to crank so much that I strip the bolt or something, so I just live with it.

As I said, I've never been on one of these before.  But instantly I was able to invert as if I was doing it for ages.  It balances very well, just have to find the right spot.  I can't use the 6"2" spot cause it leaves me overbalanced towards the top half.  I drop it to a "taller" setting and it's just about perfect - raise my hands, and it'll start moving backwards, bring them back, and it stops.  I can invert myself completely with no effort, and get myself back up again using the handles without any great effort.  The motion is very smooth, no hangups or tight spots or anything.

The lever to lock it also works well, lets me vary the intensity of the inverted sit-ups by locking it at varying angles.

The claim it "folds" but while the frame folds up, the rest of the unit still is angled at either extreme, so it doesn't fold in a straight line.  There's still quite an angle from feet to head, so it's a pain to stick aside when not in use.  Best to have a space you can just leave it set up.  This one doesn't really store or move well despite the ability to partially fold it up.

All in all, despite not caring for the lock system for the ankles, I still like this unit very much.

It's damn heavy now... but I like it. I can use it as a throwing weapon up close. Hahaha

A bit bulky for my taste, but it works as described and feels well-made.

Nice and heavy, good value, worked for my application.

Rather heavy, but I'm not complaining. Put it together myself, in the morning without waking anyone up. I was aware of the possible gap in the door issue, positioned the hinges accordingly, and there is no gap between my doors. I'll probably buy another one in the next couple months,

I had to move a heavy treadmill today. I tried to move it without this belt and I couldn't. I decided to try the belt and I was able to lift it without too much effort.

Well constructed and strong albeit heavier than I would have liked it to be.

Heavy duty. Adds weight but I've dropped it several times and no worries
