Does rain seep inside the unit?

NO IT DOES NOT. Your job is to assemble it correctly. By the way, I wish that the rain would seep in.

It hasn't on ours and we have had it through some heavy downpours in Florida. It is a great composter.

I am in Hawaii so the humidity is generally fairly high, if that is what you mean by "area around the unit is wet". Otherwise, the immediate area only got wet when the unit leaked in the manner that I previously described.

The top comes down pretty secure. I haven't noticed any water inside. However a little water could come in around the top during a hard rain.

no if it rain anything inside will get wet. It's a mesh material but the bottom is plastic so the rain would sit at the bottom.

Yes, but just barely. My interior is Line-Xed and I don't have carpet so I don't worry about it getting wet in a blowing rain (if I did I would leave the doors on it). Love it for what it is and does.

I have had it for about a month and it has rained on it several times actually. The water just drains through. It seems to be holding up well, but I would think over time it might dry rot or have others problems if left out for several seasons in a row. I will put it inside in the Winter.

The roof does not cover the floor, the floor sticks out a few inches further. So if it rains you will get water inside. It is only a sun and wind shelter, not rain

I know it should be inside but I needed a unit under my patio,and so far it's been great. It's very humid where I live and it has gotten wet and surprisingly it hasn't warped, discolored,ect. I've been very happy with it.

do not get wet,this is an indoor unit,unless you build an encloser to protect it from weather

Can this unit be used in a bathroom which includes a shower (and thus a certain amount of humidity)?

Yes the inside is dry. We have had a number of days with a lot of rain and there is no water inside

I've been in several heavy rains and never had any leaking or water enter the van through the fan. If mounted sideways (or if the rain was sideways enough) some might make it in, but I doubt it would be enough to even collect in a drip pan. So yes, safe in rain, from my personal experience. Nicely water tight.

Honestly don't know. But I can say it was't the expected quality. Rain water get accumulated inside and doesn't drain. Regards

I haven't noticed any. Any condensation seemed to drip onto the patio down below. However I live in the Pacific Northwest and it's not horribly humid like it can be in other parts of the country.

No. The canopy material is porous and will allow water to come through. In the rain I don't notice hardly any water coming through as the material sags some towards the middle. I was however surprised as to how gracefully the canopy handles the wind. Good Luck

The manufacturer doesn't make any claims about the unit being waterproof, and I've never left mine out in the rain. The individual panels are covered with some sort of clear plastic material that looks like it would keep out water from the face, but the entire rest of the unit is made of a woven nylon fabric that doesn't look like it would keep out moisture at all. In fact it look like it might just sponge it up and hold it, exposing the wires that are inside connecting the four panels, as well as the 5v USB ports in inside the pouch to water. My guess is that letting it get wet (even in a light rain) would be a bad thing. I would not even recommend leaving it out over night where dew is a factor.

Yes. The top vents can be zipped up from the inside. In addition to this the outer rain cover will cover them from the outside and it has vents that can be propped open providing ventilation and at the same time protection from the rain. The front and back door have two flaps. One is the mesh on the inside and the outer flap for rain. In addition the rain cover will completelt close over the front and back doors enclosing a small protected storage area outside the front and back doors.
