According to user manual, it operates from 5 to 80% humidity (avoid water condensation). I think if water gets in it's gone :-( Note that the 'famous Colorado' plant should not be kept in high humidities, and you need a dehumidifier.

Absolutely not! I would NOT waste my money on this greenhouse, again! It did not last even a month it is a piece of junk.Seams started to rip within a month

I don't see why it would be an issue. The only thing I can think of is that it will not turn on until the ambient humidity exceeds the setting you have on the humidistat. I have thought about putting one in my garage, but I'd rather have one with a thermostat instead of a humidistat. If humidity is your concern, you shouldn't have any problems. As far as the size of your window - you may need to add a wooden flange within the window opening in order to fit the unit.

I live in Florida with high humidity even in winter, so not sure about where you are. It is worth a try though for I have one in our rv, which works very well.

Hi Philip, I use it in similar weather conditions, Paraguay ( hot and humid ) and it gives me great results. Im sure it will be very helpful to you, go for it.

Yes, I believe that I read it will keep running to keep the humidity level at that point. Refer to the manual for further guidance

I don't see why not. I live in Los Angeles so the worst weather we see is heavy rain, but it's very sturdy and stands up to high wind - the kind that knock trees over and whatnot. There's a window on the roof that opens and closes, so you could easily keep it shut during bad weather. Overall an excellent greenhouse.

I am in Colorado, pretty dry here. I am not sure how well it would work in a humid area. It doea not freeze out my daughters room and hers is 100 sq ft. It just makes it cool. I would not get this one if your area is much larger than that.

I don't believe it will. i had it in a 175 gallon tank in my greenhouse (unheated) and it got down below 50 degrees in the tank when outside temps were 20 degrees. it has a good thermostat and you could use 2 of them to be on the safe side

Yes, but this unit is not recommended for outside use or high moisture areas.

Probably depends on your climate. If you get a lot of moister might get water damage. I have mine in Northern CA in our Garage and it works well. I've only had it for a couple of months...I love it.

I would not suggest this for outside. I think extended outdoor humidity would not be int the best interest.

Chris, did you find a high CFM fan that is also quiet? I'm also looking for use in a greenhouse.

I recently installed one of these, it basically works as a switch, so you can wire it as you wish. It has an in-built humidity sensor, and an external sensor to mount outside. You can switch a humidifier and dehumidifer and a fan. I configured it to start the a/c fan and 1st stage compressor when the humidity raises above 55 or 60% depending on what you set it to, as I live in SW FL. Works better than I ever expected it too, lowers my a/c electric usage drastically, and prohibits the mold/mildew smell you find in this part of the country!

Carole,These did not work for us in outdoor pots, and we followed the instructions carefully. For what I read, they appeared to have worked for others. Perhaps it would depend on how much humidity would be in the atmosphere.. Sorry I could not be more help.. Irene

I believe the user who mentioned "sub-zero temperatures" was talking about using it in his basement when the outside temperatures were below zero. He didn't mean to suggest the humidifier itself was being used in a sub-zero environment
