Little Giant Flip-N-Lite M6 vs AmeriHome Folding 3-Step Ladder

The Little Giant Flip-N-Lite is the better ladder for anyone who climbs regularly or needs to work near the top of a 6-ft reach. It has a 300 lb Type 1A rating, a 13x13-inch standing platform, a safety handrail and a 10.3-ft reach height. The AmeriHome is a lighter-duty three-step household stool with a 330 lb capacity and a 28-inch top step, good for cabinets and bulbs but not for standing work at height. Owners of the Flip-N-Lite call it light, sturdy and easy to fold flat; the AmeriHome has few ratings and no platform.

• Choose the Little Giant Flip-N-Lite if you need a platform to stand on, a handrail for confidence at height, or a ladder rated for jobsite and OSHA use.
• Choose the AmeriHome if you only need a compact three-step stool for kitchen cabinets, closets and light household chores.
