Can this be used without water??

It can yes, but it's not very slippery with out it. My kids and I tried and they more "bounced" down it.I imagine once the slide is broken in more it would become more slippery. It would probably ware down faster though I'd imagine.

We used ours without water, but I would be cautious if it's really hot because the vinyl will get hot.

It won't work well at all since the slide won't be slippery. The water makes it slippery and work.

No it is not made to be outside. It does not have a seal so the stuff inside would get wet.

Yes you can use it without the straw. Actually that is how we use it because the straw was cracked and didn't work.

My husband has removed it and hooks it up to a water hose. He says yes you could. Hope this helps.

This probably isn't the answer you want but i wouldn't do it, because you would have to fill it up with water overnight and that seems to be the most consistent failure mode. As others have posted only add water just before you use it and empty it completely when done and they don't seem to break then.

Yes it can be used without water. Yes the water does diminish grill surface temp. No the water doesn't steam cook anything in my experience... I think it primarily catches fat and prevents smoke.. I often cook without the water to sear steaks better...This best grill out there for electric grilling indoors..

Yes it can be run without it. It is used for siphoning clean products, for pre-treating heavy soiled areas.

probably - as long as it's non-potable - not drinking water - but I've only used it in my hot tub

Yes it can be used without straw, That is the way I prefer to use it. My wife however, likes to use the straw on hers

It is recommended not to run device without water. I presume this will prevent the pump from burning up.

I would say no. I think all you can do is sponge off the surface as best you can. You don't want the stuff inside to get wet.

The Mr. can be used without water. But, save your money it fell apart before the summer in it.

You should be able to. However, don't leave it unattended, and keep the lid or lids handy if you have to put it out. Don't use water to put out flames!! In a pinch you can use sand to put it out.

If it absolutely is in a dry place...it works great indoors but have never tried it outside...but as long as it does not get wet and is secure, I would think it would be okay...

I don't know why it couldn't be used outside. It is all plastic (or something like that). It seems like it would be water proof. Moisture might make it slippery and therefore not too safe; maybe that is why it is listed for indoor use.

Yes the unit will dispense water without power. Neither the heating nor the cooling function will work but water will still come out. It will all just be room temperature.

There is no water. It is a plug in appliance. This should NOT be put anywhere near water!
