Will this unit rust or deteriorate if left outside year around? It rarely rains here but will do so occasionally.

Mine is in the bathroom, so can't answer that question. I will speculate that from the looks of the exterior finish that it shouldn't be so susceptive to the elements.

I'm not sure. Mine is outside and we've had a lot of rain.....so far no rust.

Mine is in my kitchen so I don't know. But I wouldn't think it would favor very well outside since it is made to be indoors. But good luck.

I am not sure if it will rust or deteriorate if left outside. Mine is in my kitchen. My impression is that it is designed for inside use.

I bought one of these 4 years ago. I move it outside for the warm months (May-Oct) and bring it in for the winter. I live in Washington, DC, so it has been out in the rain and sun. Mine has not rusted. I love it!

Mine has not rusted at all and we left it out all through the winter even. I've been really happy with it.

Mine has been driven around in the rain and also exposed to lawn sprinklers overnight and so far, no rust.

It is solid plastic, so it's not going to rust. It isn't a flimsy plastic either, you should be fine using it outside.

I live in indy and I've had it for 3 month or so. o have seen any rust yet. And its rained a lot so I would say no. plus I've got a friend who's got the same one and he's had it 2 years. his also has no rust.

Though we have not done so, I would expect keeping it outside would be fine. Ours has travelled many hundreds of miles in the back of the truck; rain, snow, etc. It has held up well. We have had no problems with rust.

No it will rust in the rain. We turn ours on the end so no water stays on it. Spray a lubricant on seat screw so it doesn't corrode. Love ours, will be using it again soon.

I used this one in south Louisiana for about 4 years and it had no rust at all. It doesn't get too much wetter than that! ;-)

It does not rust we leave it out all year long and have not tried to fold it up yet but i am thinking it probably folds no problem. It works great

Hello,We have checked with the manufacturer and they do not recommend having this outdoors unless they are covered. They may rust if they get wet. If you have some sort of patio covering, where they are under the shade constantly, then it may be alright outdoors. We do apologize we were unable to give you a specific answer. If you need anything else, please let us know.Thank you.

Yes. Ours is outside underneath a covered gazebo. We live on the gulf coast with lots of humidity so it is rusting some.

While we do not use it outdoors it seems like it would do fine there. The top is stainless. The base is chrome so you may get some rusting over time. I'd say seasonally fine, it's also not very expensive.

I have one installed on a screen door exposed to morning dew, occasional rain and heat and so far no I've noticed no rusting or performance issues.

Yes very much so...I am in Florida so it rains everyday during the summer. The unit is powder coated and so far there has been no rust or corrosion at all. I am using two of them as plant tables for my herbs and they get watered every day. Good buy for the money.

Very well in my opinion. I'm in Portland, OR and I leave mine on year round. Its solid brass so you dont have to worry about it corroding but it will patina(turn darker) over time.

I've had it for a little less than a year. It's been out in the rain and blazing heat and no rust yet!
