My rain machine states its for indoor only but I am wondering if this box will protect it outside?

Yes it should. I have a raspberry pi along with a few other circuit boards in the box which has been outside for over 2 years without issues. I do have all the inlets sealed with conduit though.

Johnathan, let me make a clarification to my earlier comment. Technically this enclosure is rated NEMA 3R. But in the spirit of your question your were trying to determine if this device could be USED in the rain. The direct answer to that is an unequivocal NO as the NEC, National Electrical Code, specifically forbids it. While it can be mounted on exterior surfaces it only meets NEC requirements so long as it's cover is closed. Covers such as Hubbell's TAYMAK addresses this situation for standard devices - outlets and switches. I do not know if they manufacture one for this particular purpose. Just shield it as I suggested earlier or mound it away from any direct exposure to the elements. Good luck!

I have been using this for 6 years I would not put expensive items in it . Stuff that can take some water this building is not rain proof. I'm getting ready to move it to the inside wall of my carport. I think it will be fine there.

Of course not. But it will protect you and your goods enough for you to take other precautionary measures. A light to medium rain is fine but wind and down pour questionable. It's a great product, easy up and down after you've set up and taken down a couple of times. Plus great price. We use it for the farmers market and other special occasions.

No, there is no protection, we do use ours indoors so we easily put rubber all weather stripping to protect the floors

I'm not sure why you would need to protect it from the rain, mine has been out in the rain for about 8 years. Continues to work just fine. This year is particularly bad for mosquitos, I've had to empty the trap twice (full) and changed the fly paper 3 times and it's only been a month. I bring it inside in the winter and clean it with compressed air. Had to change the AA battery twice in 8 years. Works great and don't have to plug it in.

We have ours outside "sort of" protected from the rain. Works like a charm (so far--had it over the winter).

I placed mine on an enclosed porch area...It would not ever get wet due to the enclosure...If you can place without rain hitting it I think you will be fine!

Depends, it is not sealed, made for indoor use, you can use it outside, as long as it's not raining or wet. Mine is attached to my roll-about garage workbench, I use it in the garage and the driveway.

This is an outdoor rating refrigerator and I have it in a cover though, so prevents from rain and water. Got some open parts at back, don't advice without cover

It is supposed to be indoor or outdoor. But I wonder, especially with the connector, if it's good to have it exposed to direct rain. We have ours mounted on a covered porch. I'd wrap the connector in electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing and mount it under the eaves.

It would be fairly weather resistant as long as it stays upright. There is no waterproof Seal between the lid and box so if it is left upside down water could enter.

This unit is an INDOOR unit and is placed in your garage or inside storage area. There is no weather protection on the case.

I own this pump and have it installed in an open unprotected area. The hinged lid has a gasket that helps to keep moisture off of the touch pad. As an added precaution, I bought an oversized rubbermaid type container that I place upside down over the control panel lid to further shield it from rain. I live in Tampa, and we get a lot of rain. So far, no issues......

No. It's hard to keep things dry when it's raining hard but this box does a good job. You can see in the picture that the top has sides to it that cover the bottom section. It does pretty well at keeping the rain out. I am pleased with it myself.
