Bigbird,

Do the steps come out lower at that first step than the original? (My wife has some mobility issues, and a longer first step down wouldn't be good.) And would you mind sharing an approximation about what you paid (installed)?

Thanks!

I forgot to measure the ground distance to the first step on the old steps but I always had to place a box as the first step for my wife. It was better for me also.

On the GlowStep the distance from the ground to the first step is 8 1/8". First step to second step is 7 3/8". Second step to third step is 7 3/8". Third step to threshold is 6". The first step distance to the ground is just right. Sure glad to retire the box.

If I had bought these steps they would have cost $505.99. Torklift sent me these for evaluation purposes. Considering the workmanship, quality of materials, engineering, and sturdiness of this product I consider it a good buy. I installed these myself on the afternoon that I got them.

I also installed the GlowStep Revolution and really like them especially for the stability. I found that I can deploy mine just about as fast as the original steps if the locking pin is already out. I did change out the locking pin in favor of a pad lock because it is easier to use.
