How high can I reach on this ladder?

Six steps put the top around 6 ft, giving a person of average height roughly 10 ft of working reach. That covers most ceilings, upper cabinets and garage shelving.

What weight does the Werner 6206 hold?

It is a Type II household-duty ladder rated for 225 lb, including the user and tools. For heavier loads or daily jobsite use, step up to a Type I or IA model.

Is it light enough to carry around the house?

Yes. At about 22 lb in aluminum, most people can carry it one-handed between rooms. It is heavier than a 4-ft ladder, so stairs take a little more effort.

Does it have a tool tray or platform top?

No. The 6206 has a standard top cap without a platform or tool tray. If you want a standing platform, look at Werner's platform ladders.

Is the Werner 6206 a good buy?

It is a sound choice for light household work if a 6-ft reach and a 225-lb rating cover your needs. Step up to a Type I or IA ladder if you need more capacity or daily jobsite use.

How does it compare with a fiberglass ladder?

Fiberglass ladders are heavier and cost more but resist electricity and come in higher duty ratings. The 6206 is lighter and easier to move, but it is aluminum and household-duty only.
