Works Better with Some Changes
I bought this to get at one bulb in a recessed fixture ten feet up over the stairs. I discovered a number of inherent problems in this first attempt to use: (1) the handles twist clockwise to tighten, but when unscrewing a bulb, they lossened and the handle spun without turning the head; (2) the clips at the top of the flood bulb head latched onto the fixture cover and pulled it down with the bulb; and (3) it takes a fair bit of force to detach the flood head after screwing in the new bulb, bending the socket and making the flood point to the side and not straight down.My solution to (2) was to add pieces of tape on each spring clip to prevent it hooking on to the recessed fixture cover. Problem (1) was preventable by tightening the sections really, really well, and (3) could be corrected by using the tool (potentially with the broken bulb removal head) to push the bulb and socket back into better position.This is what I have found changing two bulbs - and I'm now looking for opportunities to test all the other heads.The bottom line, however, is that it worked for the one impossible bulb replacement and thus was worth the $20.

The product gets 5 stars from me because it got the job done & I like the price. I was able to change these 2 bathroom lights that are at least 20ft high using the suction cup attachment! Thank goodness for the reviews because the instructions aren’t the best. The string had frayed ends that wouldn’t fit thru the holes on the suction cup or attachment but I used my hair straightener & got rid of the frayed ends & had to tie it in 3 knots.. which wasn’t as easy as just tying knots but it’s string so I think if you have ever tried to tie a knot with this type of string you know it’s not as easy as it should be. It took me a second to figure out how to extend the pole but it just took a few twists to figure that out.

The ceilings in my house are between 13 to 15ft, and this kit made things so much easier. Recently most of the bulbs in my house had gone out and we had to buy lamps as we couldn't reach any of the bulbs in the rooms to change them. The bulb grabber fits perfectly and makes it easy to change the bulbs. The pole is sturdiest the most when you don't extend it that far, if you pull it all the way out it can be a little bendy and unstable. For everyone who has those big flat and wide Philips bulbs, you're supposed to use the suction cup attachment.

3.0 out of 5 stars You Could Do Better
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2016

I am not stunned by this product. It works well once you figure out how to use it, but it has issues. Mostly with how it's constructed.

The pole itself is extendable but because you twist it to tighten it in place it becomes loose when unscrewing stubborn bulbs. Additionally, each of the attachments has a little screw to firmly secure it in place, but because it is simply putting pressure on the pole it doesn't do the greatest job. I used most every piece of the set and really the only ones that work flawlessly are the spring ones. The suction cup for flood lights causes a problem because if you secure the bulb firmly in the center to install the bulb it is extremely difficult to get the suction cup off the bulb without detaching it from the pole itself. The two attachments to get bulb bases out of sockets (if the bulb breaks off) don't work at all. There's no traction for the attachment to grab onto the screw base and you end up just turning the pole with no progress. I ended up having to get a pair of pliers and twisting it out by hand.

We bought this to replace a burned out floodlight in the high ceiling over the stairs and found it easy to assemble and use to remove the old lightbulb quickly and easily. When we went to put in a new bulb, we had the same problem a lot of other reviewers have had - the suction cup stuck to the bulb. I mean, really stuck. HOWEVER, when we went back and read the full instructions we saw that we should have tied the provided long string to the suction cup before trying. We took the bulb back out, attached the string to the cup, and gave it another go, this time using the string and VOILA! - popped right off! Note to self to actually read the user guide next time! When used the way the instructions say to, this product works flawlessly and is sturdy enough we should be able to store it and use it for years to come, which makes it a fantastic value!

1.0 out of 5 stars Must be a joke

I bought this because it consistently ranked within the top 3 ratings on all the lists and reviews that I looked up.

First of all, the box it arrived it was in bad condition. It was a terrible packing job, and although the item is no more than about 6" wide, the box was about 3' wide: obviously not a professional packing job.

Second, although it was sold as new, it was clearly used. The clamshell package had been opened and they couldn't close it again, so they held it closed with packing tape and, might I add, they did a terribly bad job of repacking. The cardboard insert inside the clamshell had been mutilated and was not in one piece. Some of the attachments were dirty and dusty, suggesting that they had been taken out of the package, left to sit around, and put back in. It's pretty clear that somebody else bought this and returned it before me.

Lastly but most importantly, it utterly FAILED at removing the light bulb from my high ceiling fixture. I used the proper size attachment for the bulb - the largest attachment. It was very hard to force over the bulb. When I tried to unscrew the bulb, the attachment unscrewed itself from the pole. Every time. Since the part that was unscrewing itself was at the far end, it wasn't even possible to hold it in place. Thus, it was completely useless.

Further inspection revealed that the attachment screws on and is supposed to be held in place by a thumbscrew. The low quality plastic threads were soft and had been worn down. The threads of the little hole the thumbscrew goes into were even more worn, almost stripped, and the thumbscrew did not fit properly into the hole. Obviously, the previous owner had faced the same problem and tried to force the screw, thus stripping the threads.

Finally, when I attempted to pull the changer back off of the bulb again after making several attempts and ascertaining that it just wasn't going to work, the entire light fixture broke free from the ceiling and is now hanging loose, plus it damaged the surrounding plaster.

I'd say to save your money and buy one that's better made, even if it's more expensive.

Ich wohne in einem Altbau und wollte eine schnelle und einfache Lösung für das Glühbirnen-Problem haben. Die Verpackung hat mir schon mal den ersten Schreck eingejagd. Es war eine art Tüte um die Stange gewickelt und ca. 10 meter Klebeband von unten bis oben drum gewickelt. Hat entsprechend lange gedauert die Stange auszupacken. Als es dann so weit war habe ich bemerkt, dass die Fassungen der Stange anscheinend mit den Glühbirnen kompatibel zu sein scheint. Es ist möglich, dass ich mich dumm angestellt habe, jedoch denke ich trotzdem nicht, dass sich der Aufwand lohnt. Lieber borge ich mir bei meinen Vermietern nebenan eine Leiter.
