Before I spent hundreds of dollars on a dryer I did measure the space. Also, "standard" ceilings where? Given you didn't specify, I'd assume you mean in the US.

In the US, the standard size ceiling is due to the length and width of 2x4s. 8ft 2in is an 8ft 2x4 plus the top and bottom plate minus the flooring and ceiling drywall. In newer and more expensive houses, 9ft is starting to become more common as people are spending more and more on building.
