i have heard of mini-splits needing additional accessories to operate in sub zero weather. is this true? and if so what would do i need?

This specific model can operate in heating mode down to 5F. Heat Pumps work by finding heat in the atmosphere and pumping it inside. There is no heat in the air at sub zero temperatures. Use a space heater as a backup.

The outdoor model is designed to be okay down to 30 below zero ( with no wind ). Of course the supply lines outside the heater still need to be insulated.

I had to leave mine in snow and ice and subfreezing temperatures this winter at a remote location. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to check how it did and I won't be able to do it until the end of April. If no one else has a better answer and you're not in a hurry, I'll provide an update at that time.

I guess it depends on how you define 'cold weather', we have two units that were placed outside from the beginning by our installer and no problem to date, we are in south central Texas. 'hope that helps you, good product

In Los Angeles, we don't have freezing temperatures. However, this is a very sturdy and reliable piece of exercise equipment. It is manual and not electrical and thus has no restrictions that I am aware of in the normal operation. On Mars or the Moon, there may be other factors of lessened wind resistance etc. Enjoy

We have the 600 and it has a snow cone attachment. I can make a mini ski slope in the kitchen, however no clutch, just snow a flying!

Hi Jared, The Milestar is a great entry level All-Terrain and works well in rain & snow. It is also pre-drilled for studs if you wanted maximum grip in snow & ice. Thanks, BWT

We got to +15 here once and thought we were going to freeze to death! Anyway, I have not tried them that cold, I suspect they'll work just fine since most electronic things like that are good down to -40. We used to live in Edmonton, AB, it hit -47 (without windchill) once, we decided to move.

I live in Indiana and it was recently 18 below zero. Fahrenheit. I decided to test this out as I had the same question and it sounds just like it does when it was 100 degrees. But one of the trumpets fell out of the squeaker thing. Just crazy glued it. When I installed it I also needed 25 feet of 14 gauge wire and butt connectors also a switch. Very nice thing. Only needs so much wire because I mounted it on the inner fender well on the passenger side

I saw a brief video (perhaps @ the vendor's site?) which had a nice demo. Near the end of the "run" just do a little "fling" up. I find it works great with dry or wet snow. Just did a search - this demo looks good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9GgYKtBE9Q. PS: I also got the gravel attachment. Hope this is helpful. All the best. Pat

For me I just use a little battery operated pump , air it up till it feels moderately tight then go for it. Just a word of advice....be mindful that on a hot day they will get too tight and you should beach land it a relieve a little pressure. on a cold day I had it all pumped up, threw it on the trailer and headed to the lake, when I got there it was deflated considerably due to the cold. I pumped it up and away it goes. Its a awesome rig. Get U 1, FISH ON!

Cold air comes out of the exhaust, so, yes, you have to exhaust it outside. You want to pull the inside air as the feed though, so block off the air intake hose.

I have one in the garage and it works great out there. In Michigan we have very cold weather.

Two ways. First, the unit has a small breaker switch that pops if it gets too cold. Second, the unit is available with a cold weather kit that will keep it from cracking. The one I ordered here had this kit pre-installed. It's a great unit. I highly recommend it. Best thing I ever did for the RV.

Sorry - I don't live in a cold-weather area so don't know. Ask the manufacturer.

Dan did a great job of answering your question. Keep an eye othe temp.....there are times I still need to add snow to keep it around 80
