I would like to use this on my back porch on the 2nd floor. Is it possible to carry from the 2nd floor to the garage for storage or is it too messy?

I've had these for years. They're not that messy at all. Ally got to do is dump grease tray & trap. Then roller on down the stairs

Not messy at all clean out water tray and drip tray after use there is no mess otherwise. Its not very heavy either.

The unit should be cleaned after use. Moving the unit is not messy with the water and grease trays removed; however, the unit is somewhat heavy. Two people might be required to carry it down a flight of stairs without great exertion.

The only mess I've ever had was very minor. And was some condensation containing a small amount of meat juices on the bottom. It wipes off easily. Everything else is contained on the inside and I wipe that down after cooking.

as long as it is off and no liquid in the water pan, i see no problem in moving this around.

Anything is possible. But I would not want to carry it up and down the stairs very often. It's pretty bulky to be carrying up and down stairs, and I would be afraid of using the wheels to take it up and down the stairs as it might jar something loose in the smoker.

I have been using this for 6 years I would not put expensive items in it . Stuff that can take some water this building is not rain proof. I'm getting ready to move it to the inside wall of my carport. I think it will be fine there.

Well, it is electric and has an electrical cord so that would be an issue and if it was outdoors then debris would likely be falling into the uncovered container and could well clog the workings of the device, so might present problems. One response states that they use it in the garage and I can understand that would work, but I don't keep my animals in the garage so I cannot address that option.

I wouldn't but in good weather you could get away with it. It doesn't have a floor. It is built well with strong canvas.

I would not recommend it unless it was outside in a somewhat sheltered area. Even then I wouldn't do it. It is perfect for a garage or indoor.

We have this mounted on our front porch. It is protected from direct rain and sun. It might rust eventually if you have it out in the elements but it works great for people to drop things off for us in a secure place when we are not home.

No, it is not an outdoor unit! The cushioned areas will get waterlogged and there are bolt holes that would eventually fill up with rain water. If a porch was covered, it could work but not exposed directly.

It has a place that you can carry it, but if you're looking to carry it from room to room, this isn't the vaccum you want. If you just want to carry it upstairs, it would work fine for that.

It's pretty heavy, so moving it around in a shower may be a prob. I put mine outdoors and soon decided to place it under the porch. Mainly because I had potpourri in mine and it was holding rainwater etc...it is big enough to hold ice a few beverages for a party. Love it!

Standing up, not realistically. You might be able to lay it down but I wouldn't recommend it. The base needs to be filled with water (or sand) and I think laying it down would risk a leak. Also the backboard would probably have too much pressure put on it in directions it isn't built to withstand. It really needs to be standing up and it's probably just too tall for any normal garage.

I have mine under my front porch and have not had any problems with it. Keep in mind not to get it wet if you are spraying off you porch or windows.

With the help of a second person it would be easy to move. I move it around myself in my daughters room. The construction is sturdy; however I don't know what it would be like to move to a separate floor.

Ours stays outside; kinda of cumbersome to move in and out a lot and the arm takes up a lot of room in the garage if we wanted to keep it inside. Ultimately, I would like to keep it inside, but outside is perfectly find and a lot easier.

No I would not keep this outside, I would use some type of Rubber Maid or pool or deck bench as those are made for damp, wet weather

No not really, it does store away better than a play yard. We have kept ours up the entire time it was used, there are probably better items if you are looking for portable. It would be the equivalent of taking another large suitcase

I wouldn't put this outside unless on a covered porch. It ended up being too small to store my cushions, so I use it as an inside piece. It makes a good storage bench in the MBR closet...

I don't think it's for outdoor storage unless it's in a protected place like an enclosed patio or garage.
