How well does it work in moist and wet conditions?

I mounted mine near the top of the walk-in shower wall to circulate the air and prevent mildew. It's been there for a year now and does the job very well in that situation. But for safety reasons, I only turn it on AFTER the shower and have it powered on a GFI circuit.

well, we have one in each bathroom - two teenagers share a bathroom and with their perpetual showers the fans are still going strong several years later

It has worked very well for us. It is not protected, and we have had some rain. It is working fine. We haven't had a lot of wet weather, but enough that I can say that it seems to be waterproof.

I can tell you from experience that the old SMH-10 (the predecessor of the 20S) despite having the improvements to waterproofing worked very well in several downpours I have experienced. Once, I was stuck in a torrential downpour pretty much the entire way from the Pennsylvania Turnpike to Washington D.C. and only once did it function oddly - but after it dried off it worked perfectly again. Also, in numerous trips to the U.K. I've been stuck in rain/snow without issue. I have not gotten caught in the rain yet with this 20S, but I'd expect it to function very well in the rain. As I understand it - there is a function which will shut the unit down in the event of too much moisture on/in the unit.

We just had a couple pretty good rainstorms over the last couple days and it still works fine. It is directly in the weather also.

It is VERY sticky and wet, but does dry eventually. it does take a little while to dry.

It does pretty good unless it is fully exposed to heavy rain. I have it on the patio where it only gets partial exposure.

I installed the product over two years ago. It has held up well. In fact, it is one of the best things I've done. This season has been exceptionally wet with many days of heavy rain. Routinely, our garage would have a large layer of water. After installing this, it has remained dry. I was certainly glad that something like this was available.

I haven 't submerged it in water, but it continued to work well when I use it when it is raining,

Yes. Works well either wet or dry. Just make sure to keep it clean and lubricated.

I've used mine couple times but it has to stay dry .... If there's slight moisture gotten in then it will not work

My original one lasted ten years with exposure to the Western sun and very hot temperatures, but it was protected from rain. I am not sure how direct exposure to moisture would effect the unit.

I've never used it in "wet/humid weather". I'm sure it'll dry quickly as it is very thin.

I used mine in a pouring rainstorm about a year ago and it did really well. There were only a few small drops of water along one edge; none of my belongings got soaked. I was satisfied with it. I was with a lot of people and many of their tents didn't fair nearly as well.

I used it to camp on the beach in Eureka and it was dry all around when I woke up. I rolled it up and put it in the sack and there was no moisture or wet spots. Never used it in the rain.

As far as I know there shouldn't be any problem using it in a humid environment. I have been using it in my basement and it is usually somewhat damp down there. It has been working very well for me.

The product is flexible and works most of the time in this situation. Remember to wet the area before placing, as the water is the cause of the suction effect.

I've never had a problem with the pad getting wet. This pad has worked really well so far!
