How high is the running surface off the floor at 0% incline? And what about full incline? I worry that my ceilings might be too low...

It is approximately 10" at 0 incline and about 18" at full incline. I measured this at the console end of the belt. Remember you will be at least 24" back from where I measured so the actual height of where you are working out would be several inches less than the 18" at full incline.

I donated mine to a rummage sale to benefit the local animal shelter. I couldn't get it to adjust tension right, there was no incline, and it was way too small to run or jog on. I was intrigued by the manual aspect, but now use our heavy duty electric powered one when weather forces me to exercise indoors.

I think you'll be fine. I have 8 foot ceilings. I'm only 5'4, however, my elliptical sits under my ceiling fan and I don't feel in any danger of hitting the fan. Does this help?

Mine is about 20 feet off the ground so can't help you! It's adequate at that height, but I wish it were higher.

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.

I have it about 14 feet above the ground at the peak of my garage. It hits the floor no problem and there appears to be plenty left. That is when it is doubled up too to increase the lifting ability. Never had it out all the way.

Depends partly on how tall you are. :) Mine is in a room with 8' ceiling (96"). Pedals are 20" off the ground at peak of cycle. I'm 5'-11" (71") so my head at 91" is 5" clear of the plaster. I suggest you do your own arithmetic.

From the rearward most point of the handhold (about the place your feet are placed) it is 11 inches from floor to running deck at minimum incline and at maximum incline it is 16 inches. Good luck!

The height is not adjustable. The incline of desktop is adjustable. Short people would have to set the program to a high incline level to compensate.

Yes, the running track can be moved upwards - probably to an approx. 60 deg angle allowing a bit more space but we prefer to keep it down and ready to use. Great machine though. I don't have a pic but I bet you can find one on Sole's website.

I have never had any problems but the initial setting are crucial to make sure that there is never such an issue. If you start off at a lesser incline and adjust your heighth setting you should never have any troubles alone.

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?

Level 0 equals level and level 15 raises it about 6 inches. It is a very steep incline for working out. As to declining, it will go back to the level position; it does not go lower. For a good workout, have it go up and down during the workout.

My guess will be to agree with the answers already given, but mine also is wobbly on the carpet, so be careful if you have children or dogs running around!

The incline is a manual adjustment, so must be set before your workout. I think there are only 2-3 setting, but don't know the inclines degrees. This is a feature that I don't use, as I prefer it to be level.

Looks like it's about 6 inches. You can automatically raise the front end for uphill exercise. it will go up to about one foot 3 inches at the front but you wouldn't be located at the front ... so a guestimate in the highest raised position, mid mat, you might be 8 or 9 or so inches. That said, unless you're in very very good shape, doubt you'd ever raise it that high. But the answer to your question is the step up and onto the mat is about 6 inches (frame on the side is slightly higher than the mat). Great machine...still love it! Good luck.

It rolls intensely. The spikes bite in deep and really work out the knots in your muscles. And the gym floor would be fine, though I personally tend to stick to carpeted floors. I think the ideal surface is a thin carpet, like not a plush/shag carpet.
