We live in Toronto where the temperatures drop below zero. Would this unit be design for a colder climate?

It is design too, but have not gone through a winter. It has a good guarantee and has been so far so good.

It should not be an issue. I am not sure what the cold rating is. It gets down to -20f here and they work fine.

I would say no because the air conditioning unit is made to sit partially outside, to blow out the warm air outside. If it was sitting on a shelf then it would be blowing cold air from one side and warm air from the other side, working against itself.

No, I don't think so. It is a one-touch button system, and you can choose between low, high, or temps between 60-80

If you have a small room it's fine as long as you don't expect the room to be really cold...this air conditioner uses a smaller amount of electricity but isn't a big cooler.... Don't get me wrong it will cool a room and keep it coo it's just not... Well lets say really powerful.

Unfortunately, there is no cool/cold setting, just low and high. It's not a problem for me but obviously is a deal breaker for you.

I think it would work fine in a small garage-if your intention is to set it low to keep pipes from freezing, if you intend to heat the garage in a cold area it would probably run constantly. pretty simple design, the only issue I had was to replace the fan motor as it had worn out after a couple years of use.

I live in Thunder Bay, and we had many weeks of near -40 below temperatures. Remarkably, these units work. I am exceedingly happy with the units I have purchased. I have owned them for more than one year now, and while I changed out the batteries, I fully expect another great year.

Not sure, I live in Texas. I believe the lowest temperature was around 34F and it worked perfectly fine.

I can't really say for sure. But the reason they say the garage isn't good is because they do not have heaters in them for sub freezing temps. If your garage is always above 50 degrees I would think any unit would be fine.

The lowest thermostat/temp setting is 60 degrees. This is a great air conditioner.

Sorry - I don't live in a cold-weather area so don't know. Ask the manufacturer.

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.

Probably. It's strictly mechanical, no fancy electronics. If it gets below freezing, not sure. Mine is in our (unheated) garage. But I live in LA so it never gets super cold. Love this thing. So much easier to adjust times than the digital version.

I don't think it would work in winter when the temps are below freezing. I don't plan on using it in the cold months.

I can't promise it would work but it allows you to set a temperature as low as 39 degrees Fahrenheit. So my guess is that it will work fine.

I have mine in an upstairs bedroom that is about 12 by 20 ft. with sloped ceilings since it's right under the roof.Since there is foam insulation in the roof, it works well all winter and most of the summer. It can't quite keep up when the outside temp is over 95 degrees. To help it out, I have it taking in room air and exhausting the waste air outside through a vent pipe. That way, it doesn't have to deal with extreme temperature differentials.
