Did anyone use this in weather of 10-20 below zero ?

We had wind chills of 30 below and the water never froze, although I had a very thin layer on top of the water, as someone else mentioned. Actual air temps got as low as 3 below with no problems.

We had several days of minus teen weather last winter. The bucket worked very well for the most part. Occasionally if I overfilled it, there would be a thin shelf of ice on the top of the water (since it was furthest from the heat coil). I would recommend the bucket.

I used it all last winter in Northeast Ohio. Had many nights below 10° below zero. It was under a roof but side of building open to outside. Worked well ..... You do have to top off every few days due to evaporation....

SPEC'S: Avoid temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 60°C (140°F).However, I tried it in my great cold City of Chicago last week when it was below 0, and it worked......barely.

Last winter I used this waterer all winter on the ground in an unheated barn which wasn't much warmer than the outside. Last winter here in Ballston Spa New York was the worst I can remember. Temps were below zero for days on end with lots of snow. It had no trouble with the temperatures, my Guinea Hens all survived with plenty of water always available along with lots of scratch feed always in the feed bins. I will be using it again this winter and it is already in use but not plugged in yet. I would be comfortable with 10 to 20 degrees below zero. It never froze once. Use it you can't go wrong.

I believe the user who mentioned "sub-zero temperatures" was talking about using it in his basement when the outside temperatures were below zero. He didn't mean to suggest the humidifier itself was being used in a sub-zero environment

I don't know about 20 below but so far it's worked fine between 10 and 20 degrees

It has worked this winter in Oklahoma on the couple of occasions we used it. Was probably in the high 20s to low 30s at those times.

We have had this unit on back porch in middle Georgia since late February. There have been perhaps 10 nights where the temperature dropped below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. We have recognized no problems but we have had few occasions when callers were at the door during the hours of such coldness.

I used it when it was about 50 degrees out and it worked well. I also used it when it was 40 degrees, but 40 was too cold and unless you were sitting right next to it, it did not keep you warm.

I live in Arizona so it has never been used in the extreme cold. Used in Flagstaff at 6000 ft and around 40 degrees.

No, I use mine in the mountains of Panama. It only gets to 40 degrees a couple of times a year. Hopefully someone will have experience with colder temps that last for longer periods of time.

I probably wouldn't recommend. I used in the summer and was sweating because it is thick material, but I imagine it wouldn't do well in less than 10 degrees

I would say excellent.. I bought it to possibly use on motorcycle, but my only use so far was with snowblower -1 degrees -20 with wind chill. Had goggles on as well nose underneath was a bit chilled at first but didnt notice much of anything by the time i was done.

Have tried in the cold. I wouldn't use it in the rain, cause you'll just rust it out

It definitely works during warm weather, and I think it would work anytime if the solution you're using isn't too watered down, that it would freeze as soon as it hits the air. Great little machine!!

I have used mine in temperatures as low as 20 below zero (for a string of 5 days) and it functioned flawlessly. The one draw back is the battery life is somewhat reduced by the cold temps. Hope this helps.

It works very good in cold or warm weather, and 32 degrees below it still works well. Just like any other electronics don't get it wet.

I have used mine in the heat of the Texas summers and the brutal cold snaps. In fact, I used mine this past Monday night when the temperature dipped to 24 degrees to make sure my tractor would start to feed the cows. It probably isn't optimal conditions, but it worked just fine. I would test it out but from my observations, you shouldn't have any issues. It is electronic, so I would be more concerned about the extreme heat versus the extreme cold.
