Summary: Good value, medium quality, installed fairly easily
Comment: I did a lot of comparison shopping online for an attic ladder, both for features and for price. I purchased at Lowe's as they were the cheapest by about 10%. The Werner S2210 met all my spec's and I have been pleased with Werner ladders in the past.
The instructions were pretty clear, with only one area that was vague - installing the gas shocks. There was one technical illustration that was incorrect - a mirror image of actual. Caution - I am one of many blogs that have had this problem with a mounting stud shearing off. There are studs that the shocks and extension bars mount to and if you tighten the lock nuts with ANY force they shear right off. I was aware and really careful and I still sheared one of the four off. I then had to drill this sheared stud out and replace it will a 5/16 lag bolt with a shoulder surface under the head so the extension bar had a bearing service to swivel on. That mistake took me 90 minutes to fix. All total, including having to create a new rough opening in my garage attic ceiling and complete the full installation, it took me about 6 hours. I installed it myself, and am pretty handy and had the correct tools. I had to rig up a come-along from my attic trusses to hoist the ladder into place, since I was working by myself. That and the sheared stud took about 2 out of the 6 hours, which was unplanned.
The actual ladder section came slightly racked from the factory. It opens and closes okay but with some interference while closing. I can see where the ladder sections and mounts are not truly symmetrical along it's length, and that is from the factory. When I mounted the ladder frame into my rough opening I measured only a 1/16" off on the diagonals, well within the 1/8" spec. It still doesn't open and close real smooth. I had hoped that my wife, who is 5 ft. tall, would be able to open and close this ladder but it's not as easy as I would have liked. It's actually pretty heavy and a little awkward during the lifting and folding of the sections.
Time will tell how it performs. The shocks are an area that I will be watching close. For the money, it's decent quality. I might have chosen aluminum instead of steal next time, as it would have been lighter to install and easier to fold and unfold into the opening. I would recommend to someone, but with caution.

Summary: TERRIBLE BEYOND BELIEF!
Comment: We bought this product about 2 years ago. From day 1, it was nothing but a headache. It was difficult to install. My contractor (a licensed professional) was unable to install it correctly. The door did not close properly, there was a gap of a good 2-3 inches. We lived with it for a while, maybe 3-4 months, then one of the legs broke. We had a handyman in one day, and asked him to take a look at it. He mended the leg, then tried to reinstall it. After 4 hours, he was not able to make the door close any better than our contractor had. I finally built up a frame around it out of 2X4s and sealed it with a couple layers of weather-stripping, allowing the door to kind of close. At least that took care of all the heat-and-cooling loss we were having with it. Then in August of last year, my SO was climbing up it when one of the hinge joints sheared in half. We got about 18 months of use out of it, and spent a fortune on it, especially when you consider paying the contractor and handyman, not to mention all the time I wasted with it. I would not recommend that anyone buy this product, ever. The only reason I give it even 1 star is because 0 stars is not an option. One of the worst items I have ever bought.

Summary: This thing is DANGEROUS !!!
Comment: It would not surprise me to find out that Werner had been sued over this awful contraption. After 3 months of use (I weigh 175 lbs) the self folding stair hardware (which was iffy even when brand new) became so badly misaligned, that I had to take a hacksaw to it. After using the ladder for a while, the leg lock joints began to loosen, so each time I used it, I was careful to exam it. And then the inevitable happened. The legs failed on one side (the crappy cast aluminum pivot snapped in half) leaving me dangling form the top step. Luckily, I had a table to step off onto to avoid falling. I am thinking of cutting the thing into pieces and sending to Werner! DO NOT BUY THIS LADDER !!! I gave one start rating only because you can't leave the field empty

Summary: Think Twice
Comment: I bought this ladder approximately 2 years ago at Lowes and it really worked great until today. I began taking down the Chrismas deocrations and fortumately went up to turn the light on without a load and when coming down the lst section (closest to the floor) of the ladder broke!! I am 200# and I wasn't carrying anything. Werner decided on cutting costs and used pot metal at the section joints and that is what gave. Thankfully I wasn't hurt, but please think about looking at other ladders for your own safety.
Finally, I looked to see if I could possibly buy replacement parts to fix it, but the entire ladder is fastened with non-removable pins and no replacement parts are offered. I will now have to buy a whole new ladder system!!
I will probably go with the A2510 this time...keeping my fingers crossed!!

Summary: Werner 10ft Steel Attic Access Ladder
Comment: Ladder works as advertised, however, for me, it was not a 1-person installation as I required assistance when lifting the ladder onto the frame (The ladder unit is approximately 65 lbs). Also use caution when tightening the nuts fastening the upper link supports to the stand-off plate. I sheared off one of the stand-off plate bolts. As mentioned earlier, the ladder is heavy and as such can be difficult to maneuver when opening.

The Werner 10-foot Type 1A 300-pound duty rating steel easy access attic ladder works in attics between 8-foot-4 inches high and 10-foot-3 inches high. It installs by using the four hanger brackets to adjust the height, then putting in the lag bolts to secure the frame. Gas shocks provide smooth ups and downs in place of rickety springs, with extra clearance and easy pull-down. Integrated hand rails secure your hold, and the 3-inch wide steps with slip-resistant treads ensure safe descents. Steel construction makes sure this ladder will be durable and long-lasting.
