Is the fan motor waterproof? Can the cooler sit out in the rain?

No. The fan is in the side of the container and draws air from the outside in and should not be blocked when working. To my knowledge, it is not waterproof.

Fan motor sits inside and connected to side wall. It can sit outside in rain with no problem. I use it with bags of ice on the inside because it doesn't get cold on its own. Never had a problem with the melting water and inside fan.

Mine has been in heavy rain, but motor and or controller box below deck must be kept dry, so I cover deck and motor and key with common kitchen cling wrap, rolling it over and around whole deck and battery case & motor. But don't leave it on to trap moisture; remove wrap and dry everything before putting away.

as with any electronics I would not advise using it fulll time in the wet weather (outside in the rain) , the motor in the rear has vents and I am sure will ultimaly lead to malfunction and possibly electrocution..Bill P

I can't say for certain since I haven't tried it outdoors. But it does look like thing is sealed up pretty good so it might be ok. If you decide to try it you should probably put some outdoor caulk around where the cord connects to the fan. That's the one place I really wouldn't want to get wet.

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, it is water resistant but I do not think it is waterproof. I leave mine outside during rain and it seems unaffected. I would not submerge it in water, however. The technical specs in the manual say it is operational between -20 C to 60 degrees C and between 5% - 90% humidity.

I use mine outside every year. I would not recommend it being left out in the rain however as the water would get directly to the motor.

I couldn't find anything in the instructions about exposure to rain, but since the fan looks like an ordinary fan (no special shielding or cover for the fan motor), I don't think I would do that. The mist comes from 3 brass nozzles that are fed by rubber tubes so the fan motor never really comes in contact with water. I'm sorry I can't be more definitive. Hope this helps.

Yes! We have left ours outside in the rain and so far have had no problems.

The unit is weather resistant so it should be fine in normal rain, but it is not water-proof, so it obviously shouldn't be submerged.

I doubt that a little rain or a little cold weather would hurt it however if it rains and then turns cold it would probably sieze up the fans and that would probably cause problems.

There is no cover on the fan itself so if the rain is blowing hard there is a possibility of rain getting coming through. Been using ours in some bad weather and have not had a big problem.

No it's not water proof I have water all inside the housing from driving thru a rain storm and hasn't dried yet

I wouldn't say its waterproof but I had it out for about 8 hours in the rain and my gear stayed fairly dry. It wasn't pouring but it was a constant drizzle throughout the day.

It is advertised as weatherproof. Mine is in my golf cart. The speakers and amp have been subject to indirect water from rain and drizzle, and I don't take any special precautions when I hose the cart out or give it an occasional thorough washing, including the amp.

Not sure - I submerged mine in water and it works just fine. The fan now makes little propeller sounds.

Not to my knowledge..it is installed in my living room...there are specific fans that state indoor/outdoor usage..their motors are self-contained from the elements.
