What happens if this sits outside and gets wet a lot?

Not a good idea to put it outside in moist, damp or any kind of wet weather. It is made of plywood and carpet. It will stay wet, probably grow mold, smell and then fall apart. It is a great product when kept indoors. I have had it for almost 3 years, it gets a lot of use and is in perfect condition. Just keep it clean and dry, it will last for many years. Do not use it as an outdoor piece.

Well, the covering is a plush type carpet so I would say no. Unless you plan to re-cover it with a type of turf or rug type carpet, I would not expect it to do well outside

This is designed to be used outside. You must be careful not to over water, or water will seep out the bottom.

the plastic is probably water proof. you would not want this to get wet because there are holes on the top cover under the plant. you could find something to cover the holes.

I've had it in light rain and it's had a splash or two, but in heavy rain I'm not sure. I would not really recommended putting it in that position though.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

No, this is not for outdoor use, unless you can keep it covered such a way that there is no chance of getting water into it. This is an electrical equipment with electronic circuitry and any water getting in will certainly and immediately damage it.

Depends out outdoor temp, but it will always loose temp when cover is removed, and also more water lost to evaporation.

It is not meant to get wet. However, there is someone who shared pictures on Facebook after they accidentally ran it through a project through the dishwasher and it held up. If you are going to put it outside I would suggest sealing it with something waterproof.. or weather resistant.

No it's not supposed to be for wet areas. The company told me it shouldn't even be outside, it will void warranty. I bring mine in if not in use but sometimes I forget:). I'm sure a few sprinkles have hit it and it seems ok.

Yes. Just make sure there is at least a week with no rain forecasted because it will render it useless by washing it into the ground.

I don't leave my bike out in the weather. It has gotten wet from the lawn sprinkler. It doesn't soak up water as far as I can tell.

Yes it would get wet, the cover is just mainly for shade from sun and does that well. It is removable.

If held, it would need to be held completely still or the water will splash around. The water gets really hot. Best bet to leave on a flat surface and lean in.

If it could be kept dry. I have one under a carport area where it cant get wet and have had no problems.

Yes. I have sat under it in the rain. It is extremely durable and looks brand new after a summer of intense weather.

Water will kill it, it killed mine. Will work outside but bring it in during the rain.

The motor is totally enclosed, so I can't see how it could get wet. I would take precautions with the battery pack. I keep mine away from water, but if you get caught in the rain you should be fine.
