can this be used outdoors

I think the instruction say indoor use only. It would probably be ok to use outdoors if, for example, the outdoor use was for a short time, the weather was clear and you take care to bring it back indoors at the end of the evening, but I don't think it's intended to be left outdoors or subjected to moisture in the air.

We have ours outside on a covered porch. Out of the elements, but subjected to heat, humidity, and now cold. Still working great!

Sure you can use it outdoors. It has a small battery box on it that would probably be completely ruined, but you are free to put the thing any place you want. Just don't expect it to last long out there if it starts raining...

It is made of an unfinished wood. To use it outside you would have to put some kind of finish on it to protect it from the elements. Other than that it would work.

Carol O, yes it can be used outside. I use mine outside all the time and can feel a noticeable difference upto about 20 feet away.

I would not recommend it for outside use, its for indoor items that you constantly have to plugin and unplug, like cell phones, coffee makers, things like that. Outside have ground fault, if it gets wet if trips the fault. This item is not made for being exposed to the elements as far as I can see.

It can be used outdoors as long as you protect it from direct exposure to rain, snow, etc. I have used one successfully outdoors mounted under the overhang on a house.

No, I can't see it being for outside use. The wooden parts aren't treated. We use it at the bottom of our stairs to the second floor so our grandchild can't climb up unattended.

You can use it outdoors but its too nice to wreck from weather. Its a really nice wood that probly wont do well in really hot sun or rain. best used indoors.

Yes it can be used outdoors but it must be protected from rain and snow such as on a covered porch. I have one high up on a covered porch so not water hits it through this cold winter in PA and so far no problems. If not protected from water it cannot be used outdoors.

Yes it can be used, inside and outside. I have mine now out (patio deck) just make sure when it rains you may cover it with its lid otherwise you can leave it open and ready to be used by your pet. Hope this helps.

Can it be used outdoors? Yes. Is it wise or likely to end well? No, no it's not. :)

It is electronic, so I wouldn't put it outdoors. However, please read all of the comments here: it doesn't work!! Don't buy it!

I don't know if it can because it doesn't specify....I would say not to use it outdoors because it can get damaged by the weather/elements. It doesn't seem sturdy enough to leave outdoors 24/7, but if you put it out only during the day and bring it in if bad weather occurs, I suppose it might be fine. However, I would advise getting one specifically made for outdoors.

I suspect that one could use it outside BUT would highly recommend that the bench be given a coat or two of a sealer to protect the wood from the elements. I use my bench at the foot of the bed so have no experience about it lasting when using outside.

No, It is indoor use only. It will work outside, but eventually the moisture will cause it to fail prematurely.

It is officially rated for indoor use but if you kept it out of the weather (dry) I don't see why you could not use it outdoors.

should be no problem. I use mine outside and have had not problem. I would not leave it out in the weather for extended periods
