Can this be stored outside when not in use?

I imagine so since it is used in a wet environment, but I would be concerned that the enclosure for the motor is not truly "weather tight" and exposure to prolonged moisture over time might damage the electrics. Better to ask the mfg.

Much of this unit is plastic. I would not recommend outdoor storage. A shed or storage closet would be fine.

If you have weather that gets below freezing it is best to store the Karcher inside so no water left inside the Karcher or the high pressure water line after being used can freeze.

My opinion is that UV's and moisture would eventually have an effect on device and if in the winter one must for sure protect from freezing or put the proscribed antifreeze/conditioner.

It only matters where you store it. NEVER store your battery plugged into your gun. It can cause some pretty bad problems with performance. I always store mine outside the gun. It should be stored outside the gun un-charged. It will save battery life.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.

I bought this as a gift and when I forwarded them your question, here's the response I received: I doubt it's meant for outside use. I think it wouldn't last too long. Hope this helps!

I bought it for inside work only so I never considered whether it could be outside. I am sorry I could not be more helpful.

There is no reason to use this product outside. It's for indoor growing so it wouldn't make sense to put it outside. If you are asking if this product is durable enough to be put outside, I would have to say no for a longterm answer. It would probably get blown over, wet, and ruin the product. Can be used in a garage, house, barn, etc..

Hi Alexander, I would not put this in the outdoors. If you want to use it externally, build an enclosure for it with a glass window. Also I had trouble with the ddns server - it stopped working until today. If you have any luck let me know please. Thanks Tony

No, not from the outside if that is what you are referring to. It is, however, removable if that is of any help.

I don't think so. I still use it every day at work. So I've never needed to try to store it away.

I suggest you leave in the device but don't expect it to be usable for long as this was made for storage

should be no problem. I use mine outside and have had not problem. I would not leave it out in the weather for extended periods

I wouldn't leave it outside over the winter especially with the winter we had last year. Extreme temps cause things to wear out faster and can affect how they work. I'd store it in a garage or shed so it's not exposed to the elements. Coleman recommends keeping it covered when not in use as rain can also cause the parts to deteriorate and rust.

I wouldn't leave it outside. We bought this for my grandson (who loves it by the way) & while it does get used outside on nice days, it's not left outside due to the fact that the material its made from is not really conducive to the outdoor elements.

No. I wouldn't leave it outdoors. It's a nice piece for indoors, solid maple, nicely constructed.

I keep mine in the house. It would be a good idea if you are going to use it outdoors.

I have never stored or left mine outside. It is very well made, very well insulated, and doesn't get stiff or crack when laying in the snow and very cold weather!!! You would have to seal plug connections, but in my opinion, it should serve your purpose!!!

Yes, I only use it outdoors. I put it in the shed if rain is expected, though.
