I can't find any information about minimum ceiling height recommended. Would it be unsafe to use this in a space with 8ft ceilings?

I'm not an expert but I wouldn't install it in an 8 ft ceiling. We installed ours in a 13 ft ceiling. I would think 10 ft should be a minimum .

This is a large fan, better suited for a high ceiling. I wouldn't use it with an 8 ft ceiling.

I located the manual, Elizabeth. The minimum clearance height from the floor is 7'. With the down rod provided, it appears that the unit hangs 12 or 13". Hard for me to tell because it is mounted on a slant ceiling outside and was running.. So it will be very close for 8' ceiling. This is the Phone number in the manual for Emerson Technical support.....1-800-654-3545....for questions.. the fan does indeed move a lot of air..... Dorothy

I do not have the paper work for the ceiling fan but in a room with a 8 foot ceiling if it isn't mounted flush with the ceiling I would use a smaller fan. Mine is in a 12' ceiling and I needed a longer down rod than what was shipped with the unit. Good luck.

No, if you need to just use a shorter downrod, Mine (have 2) are mounted on an outdoor deck roof that is only 8'.

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

Our fan is about 14" from the ceiling. We have 8' ceilings and there seems to be plenty of head room. Get it--you will love it.

I have it installed in my 275cm ceiling, which is about 9 foot. I am not sure it will run to 12"6 (ays 9.5 foot / 114 inches on the specs) as it will get pretty flimsy extended much further than it is on mine. It does work great though. Real space saver. If you can find another space in your apartment then go for it. Excellent value.

My daughters ceiling is 8ft and I would think you would want to be at that height at the minimum.

the pole is good for up to an 8ft ceiling. I ran into an issue when moving to a new place with a 10ft ceiling. Remedied by purchasing a 10ft pole from the hardware store.

If you close mount it, maybe.I mounted with the extention provided and its 20 " inches off ceiling and 28 inches to bottom of pull chains. I would not recommend it for an 8 foot ceiling in any which way-

Hi Ed,Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes, so you should be fine because 8.5 feet measures 102". Also, this fan cannot be flush mounted, but again, you should be just fine with your ceiling height.

Hello,With an overall height of 16.75", Top to Bottom this Minka Aire F905-DK XL5 Artemis Ceiling Fan will be too large for an 8' Ceiling. We would recommend the Minka Aire F803-DK Artemis Distressed Koa Fan which has a height of only 12" and would work fine for a 8' ceiling and captures the same cool modern design of the larger XL5.Thank you,ALCOVE LIGHTING

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.

If your ceiling is 8 feet or so, the chains are adjustable and at their full length should make it low enough to reach. My wife is under 5 feet and she can reach.

My husband is 6 ft and we have 8ft ceilings in our basement. It works for him but is close. Also can make a slight difference on whether lean forward or back.

Joist spacing needs to be 16" on center. Like others have said, you need at least an 8' ceiling for this.

My wife uses it and I don't see any issues that would prevent you from using it in an apt. setting. We have 8 ft. ceilings so she can't jump to high, I would imagine, the higher you jump the more potential for noise.

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.

The question is what is your ceiling height. It can be used with any ceiling height, from 8' up to 22' as long as you have the space under it for lower ceilings (8'). Higher ceilings are more challenging over 12' because you would have to use a ladder to get the bicycles down, which could be dangerous without assistance. That being said my customer love their Saris Cycle Glide. - Indy Monster Garage
