I am using in an unheated barn its currently working at 8 degrees with no problems

I have mine mounted outside to my porch ceiling. Lately it's been between -2 and 30 degrees F. It has been working perfectly the whole time.

IMHO, Absolutely! I have used mine for over a year...outside. It is mounted on the corner of the house, beneath the over hang from the roof. It has snowed, hailed and experienced negative Fahrenheit temperatures this winter with no trouble at all.

I live in Miami we don't heat the garage. My garage get very warme in the summer. The camera works great!

Not if you want it to last for any good amount of time..unit isnt sealed so it will take a beating with condensation and moisture out there

no I don't think so..we have had it on for a year and it is bubbling and coming loose. We don't see much difference in the temp of the garage.

don't know but used in unheated garage and was below 0 a couple of weeks ago and worked fine.

Yes. We are amazed how much it keeps the heat out. Don't get me wrong, in Texas hot summers it still can get hot in the garage.(in 100 degrees). But it definitely works.

I use it in Garage. You would have to check with Rubbermaid if it can stand up to the weather elements.

I bought two to heat a barely insulated garage in the PNW where temperatures are generally mild. If the temperature is between 40 and 50 then only one unit can keep the garage at about 60 or which is a comfortable temperature for shop work. If the temp is between 30 and 40 then I'll run both of them and will get the same 60 degrees. It never really gets below 30 here so I can't answer that.

I have never put it in the garage but my library has no AC and lots of windows so it gets very hot. My paper has survived and works fine.

I don't believe you would have any problem with this unit at that temperature due to the auto- defrost feature. However, I would not feel comfortable running it for very long at these temperatures. Also when the temp is that low, you usually don't need a dehumidifier. I don't know. Maybe it is different in a garage.

It hangs in my unheated, but insulated garage in a north central state. It is used more occasionally than regularly, but has been used in all seasons and operates satisfactorily. No problems with its operation.

Yes. Good idea for unheated garage where CFL is dim when cold. Otherwise old incandescent bulbs are OK since usage is very low.

I would not try it. I burnt my first one 's heat element up using it in really cold weather though I had it in my garage at night.

I've had my garage (400sqft) down to 70 degrees. The outside temp today was 92 (heat index of 101). I would check the insulation above the bedroom and other possible factors, maybe even a bad unit.

I'm sure you could use it in a garage but I doubt it would heat that large of an area.

My basement is unheated as well. I use it in the spring/summer when water accumulates and it does fine.

Probably so, I have two of them in my motorhome, which is approx. 300sq.ft and they kept it at 72 degrees inside, while outside got down to 28 degrees! It depends on sq.ft. of the garage, and how well it is insulated, you might need two.

I would not recommend that because a) it does not have any way to take in fresh outside air, meaning you would have negative pressure in your house and would be using your breathing air for combustion, b) it would not distribute heat throughout the house...you'd need ductwork, and c) it's pretty loud for inside a house. Not bad for a garage, but not great for a house. I think there must be better ways to heat a small house, including electric radiant heaters. You could buy several for the cost of one of these. Just my opinion.
