Does it really require 10 foot ceilings? I've got 9 foot ceilings and I'm only 5'4" so I'm hoping that will work.

I don't think it does. My garage ceiling is roughly 9 ft. and I am 5' 11" ... and I have plenty of room when I use it. If you're in an 8 ft. ceiling home within the home, keep in mind the machine from floor to top of the monitor is 7 ft. I'm not saying you can't but good luck trying to get the machine inside your home, basement... etc., it's a beast. My garage is perf. along with weights and matt. Good luck.

Susan, I am a 5'8" woman and I just pulled out the 6 foot ladder to see if I could reach my 9 1/2' ceiling in my garage. I can reach it using this ladder but know that the standing height on the ladder is about 4 feet so how tall you are will depend if you can reach the 10 ft. ceiling.

Not enough if you are hanging from a vaulted ceiling. I had a I go to Home Depot for more. 36 inchesb as not enough. Also , call the country and they will be mail instructions to put together !!!! It is from utube. Much needed!!!!!

Our ceiling is just under 8 feet. It measures just about 7'2" and my husband says his head just fits under the ceiling with about an inch clearance. So if you don't have at least 7'10" ceiling this won't work for you. By the way it is a very well built equipement and we have used it all year. Love it

Yes, most likely you will. I am 5'2 and did not hit my head, however I believe my 5'10 brother was unable to use it. We put it in a basement with 7' ceilings as well

We have 8 foot ceilings and I am 5'9". Still plenty of clearance for me. We use ours daily and are pretty happy with it. The manufacturer sent some extra washers for the upper arm connection and that fixed a low speed noise issue while under the standard one year warranty. They also sent a replacement mast in case the washers were not sufficient, at no charge.

I don't think so I'm 5 foot 4 with a seven foot ceiling and I just make it. Also the left peddle keeps coming off! I can only use it for 5 minutes tops before the damn thing comes off! Company's customer service sucks! Have considered using gorilla glue on it but it has to move f. reely in its socket, so I guess that isn't an option . Stuck with a expensive piece of junk. My advice keep looking!

You are 34" off the ground at the top step so 9' ceilings should be fine for almost all users. 8' or less could be an issue.

We have 8'2" ceilings. I am 6'1" and have it mounted above a doorway so I cannot touch the ground with my toes when fully extended. When I pull up, my head still misses the ceiling by about 1". All pretty close, but perfect. Keep him in the basement!

My husband is 6'0 and my ceiling r 9 feet and it works well in our basement. No Amazon doesn't assemble. I recommend a professional to assemble

Well I don't know how tall you are, nor how low your ceiling is. I'm 5.3 and need a ladder to pull the cords. Guess it's all relative. But I'd say yes that's how tall it is, looks about that - not climbing a ladder to measure. Sorry.

It extends to 10.5 feet. Our garage has 9 foot ceilings and it works great.

Yes it does depending on how high your ceilings are. It is adjustable and at least 5' long maybe more. My ceilings are 9'3" tall and it works great.

I am 5 foot 10 and I wish I would have gone with a smaller ladder for my 12 foot ceilings, I just changed a light bulb today using it and stood on the rung below the platform. So I think for someone 5 foot and change with 13 ft ceilings you should be right on target. I hope this helps, Russell

I am 5'-10" with an 88" ceiling height. I have the same question. Spoke with Schwinn customer service but they couldn't help. Suggested I go to a store and try it out and measure how high my head goes!

You are given a lot of length on the cords. I have 10' ceilings as well and had to cut the cords shorter.

We have 9 ft ceilings and cut the downrod to 10 inches. Looks great. The up light is delicate. We would suggest at least 3' downrod.
