Is this unit water resistant? Can it be outside when it rains?

No, I don't think so. It is not watertight. Only 2 screws hold the back cover and when you unscrew them and remove the cover, you'll gonna see the motor and plastic gears inside. Definitely cannot be used in the rain. One plus though is it has good enough power.

Yes,that is the reason why I bought it. I use it for my backyard brick grill.

I won't, great product, didn't use it for intended purpose, kids used the gearbox to pull up a cup dropping a golfball out the side of a rubegoldberg school project. They won! Rotates about 4rpms.

I actually left this out in the rain last month and unfortunately it died. I need to order a new one.

While there are no waterproof markings on the unit (I just checked), I don't think I would stick it outside unprotected. I think it would be fine if it was protected from moisture.

No. Its not weather resistant. Plus its so quiet its not worth the purchase..

Hi Thomas,It is not water resistant, so better not to use it outdoor. but it is sensor detection. it's a nice one.

I would say it is water resistant for use in the rain, but I would not use it underwater. I don't recall anything mentioned in the packaging material saying it was for use underwater or being waterproof.

I would not put it where it gets direct exposure to rain. Mine is on the outside of a building, protected under roof.

I am not an expert but...I would say Yes, it is "resistant" if raining...not if bike goes under water for any longer period. Hope this helps.

I am not sure if the unit is waterproof, I am guessing it has some water resistance built in but I am guessing if it was they would say it on the packaging.

It has been installed outside for couple months and still works fine. I guess it is waterproof at least; not sure if it is weather proof.Make sure your area with good sunshine to use it.

its rated as "water resistant". i wouldn't leave it out in the rain over night, but it could withstand brief splashes and or short periods in rain. Not submersible.

It is designed to be used outdoors. I have not had an issue with it in the rain or the snow.

No, it is not. A little water-resistant but don't leave it in the rain. Thanks for the Yes vote!

It is not waterproof or resistant, but it is very well made. I have used it outdoors many times without incident. Humidity is not a problem, I live in South Florida, but I would not want it to get soaking wet.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

It's not water proof but I used it outside and didn't have any problems with it.

Rain and electronics do not mix. This unit is not sealed at every spot. Not even close. The knobs and connections will be exposed to the elements.

I havent had a chance to use it when it has been raining or tried soaking it in water :-). But it looks to be waterproof or water resistant though.... If it has some issues i will post it up here on that...
