Is this okay for outdoor use?

I used it for a temporary outdoor application, crossing a driveway, about 30 days. Did fine but not sure what the manufacturer would say for long term use outdoors.

It is made of painted metal so it should be safe to keep outdoors. The only problem I see is the potential for it to rust

It's not advertised as such, so it probably is not rated for outdoor use. That being said, I will add that the overall quality seems to be very good, and if the connection was suitably waterproofed (plastic and tape at least), I don't believe there would be a problem for short term usage. Since it wasn't designed or built for outdoor use (if it were, you can be sure it would say so!) there is no way to know how long or well it will stand up to extreme temperatures, UV rays, humidity, etc. If I had a reason to I would use mine outdoors, but I would expect it to fail at some point. To be honest, I didn't read the terms of the warranty, so I can't say whether it would be covered if used outside. But they're very reasonably priced, should you need to replace it! I've had excellent results with this company's products; because of that I say go for it!

I bought this as a gift and when I forwarded them your question, here's the response I received: I doubt it's meant for outside use. I think it wouldn't last too long. Hope this helps!

Not at all. It is all plastic with a metal bowl, so no problem with using outdoors.

As for the metal, don't know for certain. It's painted, except the threads, so outdoor use should be okay.

Absolutely, if you use it outside. It's not delicate, but, it's not indestructable.

Sorry, but I would not purchase this for outdoor use unless it is protected by a covering of some sort. I left mine out in the open and it was damaged after it got wet from the rain.

I have one, It's not meant to be used Outside. Certainly if you put it outside, it will work, but I wouldn't want to get it wet or leave it exposed to extreme weather. I don't see it being capable of withstanding the elements.

Yes, for the most part. The legs might rust after long term outdoor use, but should be fine for occasional weather exposure.

I guess it could be, we use it indoors. Its all metal, so I dont see it being a problem outdoors. Good luck!

I use it for outside. It's plastic, so weather won't affect it all that much, although it could crack from extreme heat or cold. Then again, any plastic will do the same thing. It seems well made, and holds a lot of weight, me.

I wouldn't use this outside, I don't think it wouldn't give off enough heat for outdoor use.

No. This would not last outside. The top is wood and the metal is not sturdy enough for out side.

I doubt that it is rated for outdoor use. Perhaps in a weather-protected enclosure you could.

Yes, but do remember that it is electric. You do not want it subjected to wet weather. The outside is a sturdy plastic so it should be fine outdoors.

I would not use it outside. It is light colored and would likely not last if it were kept outside unless it was covered every night to protect it from weather.
