A:AnswerI have one and I find it very difficult to believe that it can go up that high....it is heavy enough that when it is turned on...about the best it can do is to stay about in the middle of the space between your floor and the ceiling. It automatically lowers itself..and you have to put your hand underneath it... for it to go up...and even then, it only goes up a foot or so. Perhaps your YODA is not the same model as this one... You might have one of those SUPER YODAs!
