I have however used these on two paint jobs already, with regular 8-9 ft ceilings and these stilts are PERFECT for cutting in. I can't tell you how much time I save not having to climb up and down my step stool and move it every 2 minutes. I will be keeping these for this purpose alone, though I know I'll be able to use them for drywall/taping repairs in most houses and won't even need to raise them. I'm 5'11" so with these at the lowest setting I can easily reach up to 10ft or so.
My final suggestion would be to make sure and practice with these at home for a bit. The first time putting them on feels very weird and a little nerve-wracking. You will need a ladder or at the very least a 4ft step ladder to just to get up on the stilts, because if you put them on while sitting on the floor it's literally impossible to stand up without a couple guys lifting you up or something.
I personally wore them around for a half hour or so at home and walked around the garage and house a bit hanging onto the ceiling. Before I forget I have to add that the scariest part about wearing these is that you just know that if you go off balance a bit, you are going down HARD. It may only be 2 ft off the ground at the lowest setting but if you fall you will not be able to use your legs or knees or anything to help catch yourself.
But the second time I wore these was on the job, painting a kitchen. I threw these on to cut in at the ceiling and it was great. I very quickly became used to them and by the end I felt much more comfortable walking around and standing with them on. Sorry for the long review, if you're like me you like extra info... . If not then:
TL;DR - These are great for most houses. More expensive high end houses with high ceilings can be a problem since these are missing that 8 critical inches to raise you 4 ft. For that purpose alone I would probably suggest just going with the 24"- 48" set instead, though the price jump is pretty ridiculous. For regular 8' ceilings these are perfect, and depending on your height you may reach up to 10/11 ft no problem. They are very much worth their price though.
My only gripe is adjustment. If these are YOUR stilts, you can dial them into your preference, and adjusting for ceiling height only takes about 2-4 minutes. If anyone else wants to use your stilts, and aren't of relative build to you (according to height, weight, and boot size), they may have a bad fit, and could seriously hurt themselves.
Also, a must buy--- The padded leg straps. Dont even think about getting these without picking up these things. Typically, when I get on a job, and I strap these things on, I'm not getting out of them for 2-3 hours. The large, 3 inch, padded leg straps are a necessity.
Took me about 4-8 hours of working with these things to get to a point where I could basically do a baton race in them. Once you get the hang of it, its like riding a bike. Up/Down Stairs, on one foot, w/e.
