Can the feet on small Lelit espresso machines be removed to reduce its height

Ahoy there. I'm looking at buying one of the smaller Lelit espresso machines, the ones in the VIP and 50s line (specifically, the Grace, Victoria, and Glenda), but I think they won't fit in my space unless I can reduce the height in some way. It looks like it has some substantial feet that might be adjustable/removable and I'm wondering if anyone can speak to their adjustability/removability from experience.
If I can't make it fit, the Anna, their lowest offering in performance, cost and height, would work space wise, but I'd prefer to get one of their models with a pid if possible. Let me know if you have recommendations for the best under-15-inches-tall espresso machines which would have the highest rated multi-cappuccino-making prowess. I'm coming from Lever Land (Pavoni), seeking a more turnkey and less time consuming home cappuccino making system.
Good day.

P.s. I left a msg with 1st line, which seem to be the biggest reseller of Lelit machines ive seen in the states, but have no response yet.

Tim,
Why don't you consider something like Quick Mill's Silvano? It it's only 16" in height (should be less than 15" with top rails removed), got a PID and a water reservoir on its side - so you won't have to haul it in and out to refill. Technically it's double-boiler machine, even if the steam boiler is a thermoblock. I had a very similar machine (arguably also made by QM, just marketed under another brand's name) and what was coming out - was very respectable.
Back to your original question though - I don't think that you'd gain much height with feet removal on Lelit machines as they are pretty low-profile to begin with - especially when compared to other brands like Izzo which come with freaking columns for legs.
