Can it be used even in below freezing temperatures?

I live in Texas and we don't get below themp. very often but I do leave it out side all year and it has not hurt it any! I don't see why not.

From someone who lives in WI I can't imagine why you would have your exterior water turned on in the first place if it's below freezing... If you did use this hose though in below freezing I would imagine if any water freezes inside the hose it will expand and degrade the integrity of the material so no, I wouldn't recommend it. I think a good rule of thumb is to turn all your spigots off and run them dry if it's that cold otherwise you run the risk of your pipes freezing which is a very expensive repair.

No it will freeze like any hose if there is water in it. It definitely stays flexible but ices up in the cold.

You could probably remove it but I used it under freezing conditions in Maryland with no problem.

I've never had this happen, and I've used it at temperatures below zero. But, I suppose it depends. If you're using it in the Arctic or Antarctic, then it probably would freeze some what. I bet if you're not out too long it would work at temperatures around -10C to -15C for a long time. Colder than that, and it might begin to freeze over a bit. I would check out the manufacturer's specifications and make sure that whatever temperature you plan to use it in is within the spec range.

It definitely works during warm weather, and I think it would work anytime if the solution you're using isn't too watered down, that it would freeze as soon as it hits the air. Great little machine!!

No I don't think I would try it. It does have a limit on the temperature in which you can use it.

Yes it can, but don't push it past 30 degrees, but you said slightly, so you should be fine.

I think it could, but you have to make sure it is packed around it pretty good. I know it will not work with under 32 degree temperatures...

Down into the freezing area, you'll be fine. Even short periods of sub freezing if it's covered. It will run most of the time but stay 104. Below zero? I doubt it.

Not sure and there's nothing in the manual addressing temperature ranges for use. My guess, since this unit operates from a battery, it may not perform as well in very cold temperatures. I would also be concerned about frost jamming the mechanism. There's a technical support number you can call, 800-222-1055. Good luck.

It can, but needs to be about half unfrozen. Mine tended to smoke if the frozen item was hard.

It has worked well in temps below 50 f. I have not run it any colder yet but I feel it should have no problems. It starts instantly.

I would think that would not be problem during the warm weather. But if you are in a cold area where it could freeze it would be a problem. I would check with the factory. Richard

i haven't tried in below zero, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't. The winder assembly is very loose, not like a bearing assembly where close tolerances can spell trouble. The result is a very easy winding unit that I doubt would be subject to extremes in temperature.

Yes can be used outside as long as it is above freezing and out of the weather for all kinds of plants.

It depends on the the tempature. If it's really cold like it has been it doesn't work(like below zero) & you will have to use a snow rake. If it is hovering at 32 degrees or above it works fine.

It was only about 55 degrees when I used it and it was fine. I'm not sure about really cold weather.

That is correct - this pad is not thermostatically controlled and, generally speaking, should not be used in above-freezing conditions. I solved that issue by adding a thermostat to the circuit. My pad now comes on and off around 25 degrees to keep my battery warm when it's cold but doesn't cook it when the weather is nice.
