I am considering switching from my ridiculously heavy Little Giant Ladder to an extendable ladder. I have been doing some research and found that most of these ladders will fail over time and I am not sure what the best choice is. What manufacturer is best? Can anybody share their experiences with these ladders so I can be more informed?

Be very careful…when getting on the ladder from the roof…the bottom can easily kick-out. Pushing on the ladder section above the roof line can cause this.
You may want to secure the bottom and the top.
I recommend you avoid this type of vertical mounting/climbing device consisting of a series of bars or steps between two upright lengths of metal used for climbing up or down heights.
Ladders play a big role in thousands of accidents around the home.
A Consumer Reports analysis of data from the Consumer Product Safety Commission finds more than 160 deaths and about 170,000 injuries related to ladders in , the latest year for which full data is available.
“No pinch closure system™” which prevents crushing your fingers if you forget to pull them out from between the steps when closing the ladder.
Rungs have been known to release without warning.
The feet are rounded. Think about that statement alone.
the biggest negative of telescopic ladders are that they make poor replacements for stepladders or small A-frames that provide stable free-standing ascent for a variety of uses - See more at: http://www.ladders-direct.com/blog/pros-and-cons-of-telescopic-ladder/#sthash.l4Dsg3tU.dpuf

So tell me do you think I should not tell him we have had Home inspectors seriously hurt with extendable ladders Collapsing one guy spent many months in the hospital…
I have not heard of any one complaining about LG causing them to be hurt.
He also mentioned LG on the first post.
X Tend & Climb is the only telescoping ladder to use in my opinion, with that being said pay attention every time you open it and keep in mind they wear out Mine need replaced about every 2 years. I use it multiple times per day, I consider replacement every 2 years a fine tradeoff to having to drive a truck or have ladder racks on my roof. I drove Toyota Priuses from to and Bought plug in Chevy volt in June of . I have over 15,000 miles and have only used 84 gallons of gas.
