Does anyone know how to get this into the basement? Would technicians be able to get it in the house &amp; set it up. Basmnt stairs not straight shot.

It would be fairly difficult with just stairs. It arrives in a somewhat slim bulky box, and you have to assemble it. Another option would be to unbox it upstairs and then take it downstairs piece by piece.

depending on how wide the stairs are & if both people use common sense! I've moved mines twice! I've also did a few modification to make it work better! 1). made a rubber ring to seat around the fan motor to allow more air to the table! 2). apply Armor All to the puck & table, leaving the surface more slick, now my games are better!

It comes boxed in a narrow box about 1 ft across and its full length of 6+ ft. Taking the box up a narrow staircase should be just file. But you will need about 5-6 ft of clear floor space where you intend to assemble it.. Good luck!

We Don't have a basement but I have very long house and it's on the opposite ends and it works great. Hope this helps

Okay..I just checked out my review and remembered the manual (if not updated) was not that straightforward. As long as you can understand the steps I wrote in my review, I think you can install yourself. ( I am not a professional neither...) Since the installation (more than a year ago), I feel it's been a great addition to our house.

Gerry, Where does the wire originate? (i.e. kitchen switch to kitchen light, basement breaker to livingroom recep etc...) Make sure the power is off. remove the receptacle, light switch or light fixture from the wall or ceiling where you are going to start your trace. Connect the black toner lead to the ground wire which is typically green or bare. Connect the Red toner lead to the neutral wire which is typically white. (polarity isn't essential since the signal is a sine wave and can be traced either way) Turn on the toner and test the signal at the source with your wand. Its best to turn up the volume on the wand to high so you can hear it through the walls. The signal should be loud and clear. While pressing the button on the wand, move it up and down on the wall (switch or recep) or around the ceiling (fixture) to locate the direction where the wire is running. If you have a basement, most likely the wire will run in that direction. If its a recepticle, you will have a supply line coming from the basement and another line running to (possibly) multiple switches and light fixtures. you will need to trace all lines that have a toner signal. Every electrician wires houses a little differently. Some homes, a room has a line running to a receptacle, from there a light switch, then a light fixture. All of these wires will share the same tone. Once you have traced the lines, you will get to a point where the signal drops and it is barely audible. This is where the break is. If it is in a wall, you may have more of a rodent or structural issue than just a wire break. Without being there, seeing the house and understanding the issue more I really cant give much more info. If this helps, let me know. If not and you have another question, feel free to ask. God Bless and happy tracing!

Set mine up in the basement, where it is always available and easy to use. Wonderful piece of equipment.

Hey I just attached to my any door frame in ground floor. It does not have any issue. You can try it in your basement.

Not without taking the drawers apart. I had the same situation with bringing it upstairs. I turned it over on it's top, covered it with a tarp and tied the tarp down, then used a large area rug to slide it up the stairs. I had a friend help me but could have used another person at the bottom, as I pulled the rug and he pushed.

I think it is screwed in. We haven't taken it down, but I don't think it would be that big a deal to move it. Wouldn't want to move it often. We have it in the basement with other gym equipment. Love it!

any way to pull up that section of carpet ? or - to see which way the floor joist run you can probably figure theywill run the shorter distance between walls if there is a stairwell on the other side of the wall - usually 16" on center - hahaha but without a floorplan I cant guess any better than that - plus needing to know - Why? for what?

my advice would be to get an extension hose from Amazon or pick one up at Lowes they were reasonable that will get you to the second floor from the ground doing it on a ladder is kind of precarious I have one of those extensions and am able to do the top of a two floor house which mine is

I actually asked the same question to a home inspector. He said it is not recommended to put it in the basement but can be done. Reasons being that if it or any of the connections should leak you would be blowing all the radon into the house creating an even higher level.

my husband pulled it through a hole in the floor, and then through the acoustic tile ceiling to get it into the basement. He says that the plug is big and would require a big hole in a wall and the ability to use fishing, but he thinks that it could be done. he already has a lot of CAT cables in the walls, but has acoustic tile on the basement ceiling.

I have mine in the basement too. From the ground it's less than 11 inches. The step up height is very low for this elliptical.

After much back and forth, I was told that the driver will bring it into my apartment on the second floor, but only through the doorway (through Pilot). It should be here soon and I'm going to try to tip the guy 20 bucks to move it upstairs to my bedroom.

you might be able to prop it up on its bigger rear wheels and bump it up the stairs behind you. i have done this at my mom's apartment (i have a ground floor one but she has a 2nd story one), up 2 smaller flights of stairs. if you can keep a good balance and manage that initial big "PULL!!!" then it should be manageable the rest of the way, if a little bumpy.
