Could it be stored in the garage when not in active use? How hot can it handle and still work great?

Can definitely be stored in the garage or even a closet when not in use. It works best around 80 degrees. When it's 90 or hotter I don't even feel like it makes much of a difference. Still would rather have it than not though.

Hi,Yes, it works great. I don't store it in the garage, but it can be stored in the garage. I live in Pomona, CA and it gets into triple digits during summer and this Machine handles it well.

I am sorry that I can not answer your question, because we kept it indoor, and reuse it again this year without problem. You may have to check with the manufacturer.

It stows very easy and not notices in my garge. I just simply drined the water and sit for an hour or so and stowed.I did infact use it in San Diego muggy humid nights, where I live and it did a great job cooling my "man room" as well as my bedroom. It's very quite when in use and with standard tap water it did the trick, just remember if you add ice it will swet like a ice drink. This porblem of sweting is fixed by a simple towel under the unit and again, no problems.

Yes, I use mine in the garage after purchasing a pool table. Heats the double garage in 15 Min. great product, definitely recommend.

It is very small unit that puts out a lot of heat. If your garage is insulated real good it will keep very warm. Mine heats up a well insulated garage 1100 sq ft no problem.

I would not recommend it unless it was outside in a somewhat sheltered area. Even then I wouldn't do it. It is perfect for a garage or indoor.

Temperature in my garage during the summer is well over 100 degrees, when parked outside in direct sunlight, it is hotter yet, I really do not think you will have a problem.

It is very well built. I think you could use it outdoors in moderate conditions but it's not specifically built for that purpose. In a garage or in a covered electrical outlet i would think would be fine. Somewhere out exposed to rain or snow i would not recommend, but then again i would not recommend any plugged in electrical connections in such environments.

I do not know at what low temp. this will still work. I keep mine in the car trunk, in the garage. The lowest temp here is about 20 degrees.it seems to be some sort of dry cell trpe of battery, so my feeling is it should still work. sorry I do not have better info.

I have a 40ft motor coach and I leave my unit in it all year long in storage or not. It does not create enough heat to be a fire hazard.

It can be used in the home but will still only cool to the manufacturer's noted square footage. I do use mine in the garage where an A/C would not make sense because of the cost and cooling loss. I would only use it in the house for brief periods as it does add moisture into the air (making it more humid inside), would only drop the inside temp a little as compared to outside temps, and it is a bit loud for indoors. No complaints on its function in my garage where it has kept it very cool for the price. Hope that helps.

It does get pretty hot. I would not store anything on top of it that would melt. The sides and front are not too bad, but the top does heat up pretty good.

We live in the Pacific NW so freezing is not really an issue here as it rarely drops below zero. We have ours stored in the garage and didn't have any problems over the winter.

Our small fridge is in our garage and we live in central Florida, and the garage gets very hot. So far, we have had no problem keeping things cold. We use it mainly for sodas, water bottles, beer, etc.

would this heater work as well as others have said in a 2 car garage that isn't insulated?

Probably so, I have two of them in my motorhome, which is approx. 300sq.ft and they kept it at 72 degrees inside, while outside got down to 28 degrees! It depends on sq.ft. of the garage, and how well it is insulated, you might need two.

I have never put it in the garage but my library has no AC and lots of windows so it gets very hot. My paper has survived and works fine.

I think you would be OK. I keep mine in the garage and the temperature there is often in the low thirties but doe not freeze. I use to power my snow blower and it works great, never get hard or become difficult to wind up after use. You could probably ask the manufacturer and see what they say.

We have ours inside, but we live in a hotter part of SoCal than you. I would bet that garage storage in such a mild climate like yours, doesn't really affect it much.
