I've heard this doesn't do well in cold weather climates (below 40). Is this true?

I've not had an issue with it and it's definitely been below 40 here in Wisconsin.

Hi, last winter it got down to 10 below zero and it worked just fine no problems.

Hi..unfortunately I just purchased this and have not had our winter as of yet. I would not feel comfortable assuming how it will do.

This unit should not be run if temperatures are below 40 F. Optimally the temperature should be 45 F. There is no upper temperature that I have encountered that causes the unit to malfuntion.

Mine only gets warm enough to melt the snow which only has to be above 32 F, it does not get very warm but it does work.

Yes, it operates at very low temperatures and has a defrost cycle, which is why I purchased it. It has survived temperatures as low as 8 °F.

Winter where I am has not been consistently cold enough for me to be sure. We have had a few cold days. The dehumidifier kept running without freezing over but extracted moisture at a slower rate. It also provided some heat. I'm not sure, but I believe the manufacturer claims the unit can run at lower temps. I hope this helps.

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

Not that we know of. We live in NC, so we don't get below zero temps. But, it worked perfectly when we were down to 10 degrees.

Batteries are problems at low temps as you probably know. This link (http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA239115) tells you more than you would care to know.But electronic devices in general, it seems to me, scoff at low temperatures. So it seems if you don't find someone with actual experience, the odds should favor this device working.

Don't know what you mean by "cold" but it works for me. I never tried it in in below freezing weather, but I would guess that the stuff does not freeze too easily. I suggest you contact the manufacturer.

I don't anticipate a problem with cold temperatures. However, we never got to try it in the winter--because our 95 lb rescue dog pulled this from the ground. Not one, but two! So use with caution

Thank God I live in a place where I can't answer that. But as an electrician I really can't imagine that the cold would affect it. It does seem to work well so far, and my only complaint is that is it very loud. I mean really loud. Good luck. David

As far as i know it doesn't matter how cold it gets. Mine worked great in the lower teens.

It definitely works during warm weather, and I think it would work anytime if the solution you're using isn't too watered down, that it would freeze as soon as it hits the air. Great little machine!!

We purchased ours to use in the winter and it works great. The description says it works in hot and cold weather but I can only vouch for cold weather.

I am using it indoor. Not sure whether it can resist the cold weather or not.
