Is this good for a low ceiling basement? I want to surprise my husband with it.... Just want to make sure we have room.

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!

How low is a low ceiling? He needs to have enough room so when he does a pull up his head doesn't hit the ceiling and that he can fully extend his arms. He can do this with his knees bent if you are low on room

That is debatable. I have an unfinished basement and when I do each pull up my head goes into the rafters between the floor board slats.

Yes you do need a ceiling for this to work properly. I use it on the smallest setting. My ceilings are only at 7'-2".

Hi, we are using it in our basement, which is 500 sq ft. It seems to be doing the job ok. No problems yet.

Absolutely, I have a 400 ft2 living room with 10 ft ceilings and this sub shakes the entire room (and house). Just move it around the room and see where it sounds the best.

Yes I see no problem with it fitting in your basement as long as your ceiling height is over 80 inches high. The house stands 80 inches high. You will probably have to build it in the basement because it probably wont fit through the door after it is assembled. If you ever wanted to move it out of the basement then you will have to disassemble it.

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

We too have a 10' ceiling and ours comes down about a foot. If I had the option, I'd probably bring it down another 6" or so, but it does just fine up there. It's a nice piece.

I have a fairly large bedroom in terms of square feet but not that high of a ceiling. It works for me in my space, but the high ceilings may change the effectiveness. Maybe you can check with the manufacturer and see if its designed for high ceilings.

Yes, it is built to be close to the ceiling. If you want it to hang low you probably need and extension or buy a different mount.

Our proform 1110 E is in our basement. The ceiling in 7' 6" and I am 6' 3" with my shoes on. I have to keep the incline at 0 in order to keep about 1" of clearance for my head. When the incline is all the way up (20), my head hits if I stand tall. If I lean forward (as you would if you were walking or running up hill), I'm ok, but it's a bit uncomfortable. If our basement ceilings were a full 8' tall I'd be fine. If you're under 6' tall, you'll probably be fine too. My wife is only 5' tall so it isn't an issue for her at all. :-D

I would say that would work quite well. These things are suppose to work up to 500 cubic feet and you probably will be using it in a room about 1176 cubic feet (assuming your ceiling height is 8 foot). If it doesn't buy another. They are inexpensive enough. That's what I am planning to do if need be

I am 6ft and have mine in a room that is 7' 10" where my head is. There is a 4" space above my head. So a 7' ceiling maybe too low for you.

I have 7'5" of ceiling height in my basement and it just fits, but we had to modify how we assembled the top of the rack. It just needed to be stood up before the top bar (angled with pull-up bar attached) was installed. We even installed the optional lat pull-down attachment and it all fits nicely in the basement. One note would be that you need about another 8-10" (about 8'+) for pull-ups. We were able to position the rack so that we do pull-ups with our heads between the floor joists, giving us an extra 10" of clearance. It's a great set-up for a home gym.

As long as there is good air circulation, I think it would be ok. You might do a ceiling temperature check using a charcoal grill where you plan on placing the unit prior to ordering.

Danielle, if your basement only has a 7 or 8 foot ceiling these lights would not work for you, they hang too low about 12 inches is as close as you can hang them. A flourescent 4 foot light would be a better choice,you can get a surface mount about anywhere. We love our lights and we have them on an outdoor patio and they hang about 12 foot high.

We don't have vaulted ceilings. Right now the humidity is 51% in my 32' x 20' music room. I have the Kenmore set at 65%. The only reason the humidity is so low is because the little Swiss-0-Air ran out of water overnight. The Kenmore is a pile of junk with a funky filter that has to be replaced. Guess I have to get a second Swiss-O-Air :(
