Can the unit be left outside in the elements (i.e., is it waterresitent enough to withstand rain)

Yes it looks like it would withstand the rain. Every thing looks to be sealed. Hope thid helps.

I wouldn't think so. Its not rated for water that I know of. I use mine for inside painting and drywall work. Love it!!

If the manual doesn't state an IP rating, then it's not rated to be used in the rain.

Mine is located inside my house. Just looking at how it's built it doesn't look like it could survive long outside. I suppose it would work fine, but eventually the humidity, sun, and other elements would wear it down.

Not sure about how it hadles water, I haven't used it in the rain. I did set up the main box unit under protection just in case though.

I have mine outside but I live in a dry high desert setting and anything I have goes inside for the winter. It does rain but not often and that would be the worst weather I would leave it subject too. The rain has not hurt it working. I do have it hanging under the eve of my patio.

Yes. But I don't think it would be able to withstand the elements. Wind,rain, etc

I would say yes. I am in IL and have mine in the elements, it seems very durable. I love mine!!

I have been using this for 6 years I would not put expensive items in it . Stuff that can take some water this building is not rain proof. I'm getting ready to move it to the inside wall of my carport. I think it will be fine there.

No, I would not leave it outdoors, but you could use it outdoors if there is NO chance of it getting wet.

I've used this product in a semi-outdoor setting. I definitely would avoid exposure to water, rain, moisture,etc. Its not a sealed unit, nor is it water proof-but it still creates a great water effect.

I don't believe so, I have mine out in the elements and it to is holding up quite well, with general care & maintenance it should last for a good while. This is also with some pretty good use. Good luck.

No, it is not an outdoor unit! The cushioned areas will get waterlogged and there are bolt holes that would eventually fill up with rain water. If a porch was covered, it could work but not exposed directly.

This unit must not be exposed to the weather. The only part that can go outside is the weather proof outlet box that you would plug the cord into.

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.

I leave mine attached outside. I put a small roof over it to protect it from the rain

I would not put it where it gets direct exposure to rain. Mine is on the outside of a building, protected under roof.

No it can not be used out in the elements, I have mine under my eve but the items hanging from it are exposed.

No, this unit is not protected from the elements and must be mounted in a clean dry place.
