Can this be used when it's raining out or do you have to take it out of the window. Not sure if "storm guard" in name is just a gimic.

There is no cover on the fan itself so if the rain is blowing hard there is a possibility of rain getting coming through. Been using ours in some bad weather and have not had a big problem.

Ahh I know it will tolerate some rain, but it's not water proof. If you have it set to intake, it will suck a little bit of the rain in, but be ok.

It fits inside the window so you can close the window in front of it. At least that is how I used it in a standard double hung window. Once it was installed it didn't come out until we moved.

It works perfect when it raining out. Just make sure you have it blowing out and not in. I've had this a year now and I love it.

Best thing would be to close the window if the weather is really bad (like horizontal rain). Normal rainfall should not hurt it (it's mounted several inches away from the screen). It believe it will take some amount of precipitation but will probably not tolerate being doused with water. Frankly, I have never had it get soaked by rain. Not sure what 'storm guard' means but i thought that it had something to do with the plastic housing that covers the fan motor.

The motors in window fans are rain-resistant, and may safely remain in your window when it's raining. We do suggest removal from the window with heavy storm activity as wind driven rain can blow into the electrical areas of the fan.

Go dry... But if it rains on it than its no biggie.. This stuff works great and I was overly impressed. Probably any weather besides windy lol

Canopies of this type are not intended to be left standing when storms with winds are forecast. Even with very strong, weighted tie downs, wind will twist the frame or topple over the canopy. I have owned several different brands and they are all temporary shelters. This brand is the easiest to put up and take down of all the ones I have had. It only takes one person to do it and I am a senior citizen female.

I have ridden in the rain with no problem. If you leave your bike outside for long, I suggest you unsnap the computer unit and bring it inside. That feature works very easily.

It is a sun umbrella. It would do okay for a drizzle but not for a heavy rain. Also it clamps on a chair or lounge. You can't t carry it.

We do not use a rain guard. The feeder is the side yard favorite and the birds empty it almost daily. We are using black sunflower seeds. The removable base makes it a cinch to clean and refill so we do not have problems with wet rotting seed in the bottom. In fact, we did not know there was a rain guard and do not find one useful.

I have a rail on the side of my deck. I tie the awning to the top of the rail. It is kind of weak to be left open if it is not tied down. I leave it open unless I see a storm is coming. Without the rail, I think with the wind I have, it would have been torn up by now. It fills up with water, when it rains. With tying it down, I have to dump the water out after the rain stops. I guess it was made to put down when you need it and rolled up as soon as you don't need it.

We left ours outside during most weather. If it was going to be a bad storm we unplugged it. If it looked like hail, we brought it inside. Otherwise, ours stayed under an old oak tree nearly every day.

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

IMHO? rain could be ok but it does tend to hold water sometimes around the edges so if you're attentive to keep excess off... My park only allows these otherwise I'd go with something else. Rain, wind & snow can callapse them Easily if you don't take added measures. I live in snow country and had to go out every hour during a heavy storm last winter to clear the roof, those who did not had theirs collapse. It's relatively easy to tear down & rebuild, I don't know about moving it fully assembled. I tweeked the direction of mine a bit while setting it up & it tended to fall apart if I moved it too far from it's original set up. Frankly, if $ were not the issue I'd go elsewhere but I'm preparing for winter 2 with this. Hope that helped.

Yes, I leave mine on in the rain and storms. In fact, we have trees and it helps keep some of the debris out.

Yes, it can be left outdoors in the rain, but we like to bring it indoors if we're expecting very heavy rain, just to be safe. I wouldn't leave it out in the winter if your area gets cold and snowy.

This generator, like most, is not suitable for exposure to rain/snow. I use a BBQ grill cover when not in use, for storage outdoors. There are many creative and inexpensive ways to protect this unit from rain while operating.

That crossed my mind, and I always make sure rain is not in the forecast when I put it in my window. The item is $30. So I just use my common sense -- it's an electrical appliance, and if it's product description doesn't say it's waterproof, assume it isn't. As to what happens when it gets rained on, I would rather not experiment to find out.

It's made of weather-resistant canvas. I've never left it out while it's raining, because it's usually too windy then. They say you can Scotchguard it, too, but I didn't do that.

Yes, the windows let down. I don't know how rain proof it is though. It looks it would repel the rain.
