What is the maximum height of the pedals on this machine? I'd like to make sure that I don't bump my head on low basement ceiling while using it.

At the highest point they are right around 24". A low ceiling would be a problem with this machine.

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

The pedals are not horizontal when inclined to the maximum angle. The uppermost point, where the back of your heel may be is 22.5 inches from the floor. I have eight foot ceilings and my 5'10' son has no problem. If you are taller than that, a 7'8" ceiling may be an issue.

I would say no, it will not work. The foot pedal at its highest point is almost 19 inches off the floor. Add a person 70 inches tall,, that equals 89 inches. If the ceiling is truly 7 feet/84 inches, then you need 5 more inches for clearance. Or you could lean forward a little, but probably not the best idea.

that height is fine, it depends more on foot size! :) My feet are US 13, and they didn't clear the cross bar at back of machine, so kept hitting it. See my notes on how to raise the platform up so bigger feet will clear it. I understand the more expensive one has corrected the problem. I'd get the more expensive one if at all possible, not worth the trouble to alter the cheaper one unless you got it at a steal. enjoy

The machines is 80 inches tall. So I would say you'd want a ceiling that is at least 81 inches high. You'll probably put it on a matt that is a half-inch thick, so your absolute minimum ceiling height should be 81 inches. My celing is 83 inches high, and this machine has about an inch and a half clearance (I have a half-inch thick matt on the floor.)

Good Question. My Tallest clients are 6', they dont have trouble that way. If you do, arrange an extra stool or sitting device other than the machine's own so that it sets you back a little, giving it some room for movement

16" at the heel of the pedal in the highest position and 6" off the floor in the level position.

The 470 schwinn model that I have really is 70.1 inches at the base when the machine is not in use. Allot for a couple of more inches front and back for the stride in the pedals when you are using it.

I know longer have the machine, so I could not tell you. I got rid of it as fast as I could because it constantly needed repair. Do yourself a favor and look at the Smooth 8.0. 100 times better made and has the best ceiling to floor clearence. Pedals are 1 inch off the floor.

At maximum incline (level 20) the average height of the foot pedals is roughly 18" from the floor. The maximum height from the floor of a single pedal is 24" but the weight will be shifted to the lower pedal then.

At the Highest setting the pedal is angled down. The back of the pedal is 1 foot 11 inches and the front is 1 foot 7 inches. At the lowest setting the pedal is angled down. The back of the pedal is 1 foot 6 inches and the front of the pedal is at 1 foot 4 inches. I always use the elliptical at it's lowest setting.

Not very high at all. I would say no more than 6-8 inches at the most. You can actually just step between the pedals and seat if careful.

The base is 13" at its highest. The pedal is 11.5" at its highest rotation. It is very quiet and I am using it for a total knee rehab.

It depends upon how short the user is. I would say that anyone under five feet or so (I'm 5'10") would need a shorter setting than is available on the machine. The storage setting is a possibility, as my girlfriend's stepson is able to use it, albeit all scrunched up, on that setting; he's about 4'6". The pedals *do* go backwards, but I don't know if the speedometer/odometer work properly. The tensioner works in either direction.

At the machine's lowest angle, the pedal is 10.5 inches from the floor, not including the foot guard, which adds a couple inches. We usually use it on the middle setting while sitting on the couch, which puts the pedal 15 inches from the floor.

The back of the pedal is 19 inches from the floor on the lowest incline. On the highest incline it is 22 inches from the floor.
