Is this unit resistant to water and dust?

Our Unit is kept in a metal building. Dirt and dust doesn't seem to bother it. It does seem somewhat sealed. It is not around water.

Somewhat, Better then the others, Because this things sealed up with gaskets, as the others are not. Look at the pictures with the battery door open. It has a gasket so water cant get in.

Was on our boat and has been frequently drenched by water. Still works like day one.

This unit is built for a job site environment which would include dust and water, but the key word is resistant.

Dust yes. Water.... light misty rain or a spill are fine but leaving it out in a full rainstorm may not fare well for it.

I've worn out the warranty on Waterwise 8800. The unit has been good to me. It's about 7 years old. I take care of it as far as dust accumulation.

I would contact the company (Roslen) directly and ask. They have always been extremely helpful when I've had a question. I live in San Diego, so I cannot speak to how the unit holds up in extreme environments.

I would say possibly.., ONLY if it was protected from direct moisture..and directly from the top and sides..,I wouldn't chance it getting wet, although it is constructed pretty well I don't think water and this would last too long. It's a expensive up front unit..although the payoff is great. I would have it loosely "enclosed" in some sort of housing that would protect it from the rain, let it breathe, if you will..-I know they advise against this- it may be a heat sync issue- burnout,But, take a chance possibly, if you like, it's all new. .I will at some point ..

I have never used it wet or allowed the main unit to get wet. I doubt that it is water proof. My recommendation is to not get it wet, but other may have had no problem. Better safe than sorry.

The motor is water resistant, but not designed to be outside exposed to the elements year round. The rest of the unit will be just fine outside under all conditions.

It is dust proof as long as it is closed properly. We had our shotguns in it in the back of a pickup truck when hunted turkey in New Mexico and the topper door came open. Everything in the bed of the truck was COVERED in dust, but none got inside the case. I'm not positive about water though, we didn't get rained on.

Yes. However, the unit stopped working within 4 months of installation due to water intrusion.

Yes it is waterproof. The unit is encased in a heavy plastic case with substantial wiring.

I don't think it is waterproof but I have used both parts of the unit outside with no problems.

Since no one has listed it yet, the official website says it has an IPX4 rating. This means it has no dust protection rating and a liquid protection rating level 4 (rain/splash proof for at least 5 minutes, but not submersible).

No it is not, it is water resistant, however there are some uncovered speaker holes in the bottom.

If you are referring to being water resistant. Mine hasn't been in anyway near water. I will think it's not water resistant.

I do not know if it is "officially" weatherproof but mine got rained on last September (albeit light rain) and unit was not affected.

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.

The unit is sealed and weatherproof. We DO make sure the unit is dry before packing it back up but that's to prevent mold.
