I am 5'6" and our basement ceilings are just over 7' high, am I going to hit my head off the ceiling with this elliptical?

Quite possibly... I moved and had to leave my elliptical behind, but from what I remember, you go up maybe 1.5-2 feet off the ground while using it... Garage?

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!

No, Your head will hit the ceiling. You need at least 8' ceiling. The pedal at its highest is about 2' from the floor.

Although I am only 5'4", I had a friend that would use my elliptical on occasion. He is 6'2" and never had a problem. Hope this helps!

You will definitely hit your head on the ceiling. I'm 5'10" with a 8-foot ceiling, and it's very close.

I'm 5'8", and am able to use it comfortably with 7' ceilings. It leaves plenty of room between my head and the ceiling. I have a ceiling fan in the room, and would probably even be able to use it under that, although that would be a bit tight for my liking.

Depends on the settings or rather how tall you (or tallest user) is. I am 6 ft 1 inch or so and set the machine to 6.4 to get full inversion. At that setting it is just a hair over 7 foot high. My guess would be the tallest user could not be more then 5 foot 5 inches with your low ceiling. That aside, this is a great item and we have no regrets and highly recommend it. Good luck.

I am 6' 3" and have 7' ceilings. I can use the machine comfortably but have to be wary of the small amount of clearance between my head and the ceiling.

I think its about 18 inches off the floor at the high point so you should be fine there. I'd consider a different machine if I were you though. My brother's lasted about six months. Just long enough for the warranty to run out. If you're more than a casual exerciser pay a little more and get a better model. You'll be glad you did.

Inside the rack, no I don't think so. Although you can step just outside the rack. I am 5'10, that's what I do. My problem is my basement ceiling!

I have 8 foot ceilings, and I'm 5'1". when I put the incline up to 40 the top of my head is even with the top of the closet door which would be about 7 feet. So I don't think it would work for you with a 7' ceiling. You would have to have at least and 8' ceiling.

Btw I disagree with the previous person, this elliptical works great for me. I'm 5'3

I am 5 10 and the room where I use this has an 82 inch ceiling. I cannot raise the incline of the machine without hitting the ceiling. It's still acceptable for me. If you have a sporting goods store that carries this, go with a friend and bring a tape measure to measure height.

Using the machine will raise you up over a foot. You may just clear the ceiling but it's a close call. I would put it in a room with at least an 8' ceiling.

The Diamondback elliptical is extremely heavy and well balanced. It has rubber feet too. My husband is close to 200 lbs., and it doesn't move at all. I would think it would be just fine for you.
