How well does this perform during winter period?

I've used these for a lot of years in the military and they'll work well in cold weather. But the normal sleeve is not made for extreme cold. If you're going to be in extreme cold, you'll need to get a sleeve for it or a trick I used to do was keep one under my jacket to keep it from freezing when at 0 or lower

Yes. I have had it out all winter long. Lots and lots of snow and ice here no issue at all. It handled it beautifully. It's a wonderful item. No problems with it.

Yes it works well in the winter, the canopy is very sturdy and held up with the weight of snow, it didn't seem to have any problems.

Have only used it inside so far. We have' any snow yet, so don't know how it would be in snow.

I have used mine several times during the winter, including once when it was snowing. It requires more fuel, but the insulation on helps out quite a bit and I didn't experience any significant issues.

Used it during the winter, works well. The only fault I found is that the mount is flimsy, the unit would not stay pointed in direction I wished, kept tilting forward, so I braced it.

Not a problem. It works great in all weather. I live in Northern MN and it does get cold and it keeps working.

I am using it indoor. Not sure whether it can resist the cold weather or not.

I haven't noticed that yet, but I've only used it in the winter. It doesn't seem to get too hot now.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

I have only had the unit a little over a month. I only use it on hot days, therefore I don't think I would be using it during the winter. I store it in my truck cabin when not in use, such as nights and cloudy cool or cold days.

I just went outside to check and it is running like a charm at 18 degrees. Another good result of continuous winter use is what appears to be a lower incidence of icicles/ice dams even with the 12 inch roof soffit on my house and up to 2 feet of snow on the roof.

It has handled the winter weather fine,filled up with water and when the temperatures dipped into freezing all it did was freeze,definately going to be buying another one

It works very good in cold or warm weather, and 32 degrees below it still works well. Just like any other electronics don't get it wet.

they work great under all conditions. I have used them outdoors in the winter time with no problem.

I've used this indoors and the quality is excellent, especially for the price. There should be no concern of using in cold climate

I live in Northern Ontario. I've had two bad winters with this top and there doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the snow. I do remove the snow before I drive it and on occassion, when it's sitting in the driveway. The top still looks brand new and it is still very tight.
