Has anyone used this in very cold weather?

My sister has been using hers this winter. Although it hasn't been colder than the teens. It seems to be working fine.

I don't recall reading any prohibition about cold weather. I keep mine in an unheated shop and pulled it out the other day when it was well below freezing. It worked like a champ.

I live in Indiana so we have had some cold weather however I have not been through a winter with it. It seems to work well all the time. I like to use the cover that comes with it that keeps the unit clean and from getting soaked. Hope this helps. Thank you

Not sure how cold it is where you live but mine stayed outside, covered all winter long without any issues. I live in TX.

Sorry - I don't live in a cold-weather area so don't know. Ask the manufacturer.

Never used mine in extreme cold but it did great baking out in mid-summer heat for over two months in Memphis, TN.

I use it for auto racing in the summer months, so I have no experience with it in very cold conditions.

Living in the midwest, we have some very cold temps .. several days in a row of sub zero temps ... and so far it has worked very well. We have had it for almost three years

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

Not a problem. It works great in all weather. I live in Northern MN and it does get cold and it keeps working.

I used mine for about a month (2nd home) before I shut it off for the colder temperatures.I have to say - IT WORKED GREAT.

I have only had this product for 6 months, not all of which have been cold! I used it on a fairly regular basis during the 3ish winter months I had it and have been pleased with it. I would be fairly confident that it would hold up well. Also, the low setting is actually pretty warm so I imagine the heating element would last even longer if low ended up being sufficient for you as well.

I have not used it in the cold only in the hot simmer but they did last most of the day as long as I did not continuously go back and look at pictures or play with the settings.

I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall. The heavier snow took a little bit more care so as not to trip the circuit breaker, but it handled packed and wet slushy snow just fine. This morning I cleared a 150x45 parking area for a local church without any trouble at all. It kept up well with a gas powered snow blower! I had to be careful when attacking the packed clumps of snow along the edge where the county snow plows had been, but this little snow beast didn't skip a beat. One tip - check the blades after a couple of hours of use and make sure to tighten any which are loose. I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall.

I had to leave mine in snow and ice and subfreezing temperatures this winter at a remote location. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to check how it did and I won't be able to do it until the end of April. If no one else has a better answer and you're not in a hurry, I'll provide an update at that time.
