Can this be used in the garage?

I see no reason why not but it is for indoor use only so make sure its in a dry area. I have read that if you live in colder climates it can throw the thermostat off in the colder months. If its for a garage you might want to check out more reasonably priced models. I also had trouble and had to return my first because it wouldn't get down to temp and the replacement has frozen up a couple times. I don't believe the auto defrost is working correctly. I wouldn't buy again. This replaced a redbull fridge I bought on craigslist which I loved and lasted for many years. Id go that route again especially for a garage. hope this helped!

Not shur. Seems like it would not have to labor very much to keep cold. It's built very very well. We keep it in house. But I hardly ever here it running to maintain Temp. I. Would try it.

Not too sure if there are any issues with a garage install. I just my second beer froster back. The first one worked great for seven months. Then the compressor went out. SPT sent me a replacement and it work for about 10 minutes. Hope you have better luck.

I live in California and used it in my living room when it was over 100 degrees outside. It worked perfectly so I can see no reason why it wouldn't also work in a garage or basement.

I use mine in the garage if I need to work in there during the winter months. But for the house I would only use it in extreme measures. Just my opinion, you probably can go online and read more about the product. Hope this helps some.

That is a hard question to answer as it would depend on the climate, but under moderate weather conditions I believe it would certainly make a difference in the garage. When set on high, it sits there and radiates a very good amount of heat. If possible I would position it under the bedroom so as the heat rises it would assist that area.

Absolutely not. I spent a lot more time and money on it than I wanted or needed to and in the end it still sits unusable in my garage. Look elsewhere!

I think it would work fine in a small garage-if your intention is to set it low to keep pipes from freezing, if you intend to heat the garage in a cold area it would probably run constantly. pretty simple design, the only issue I had was to replace the fan motor as it had worn out after a couple years of use.

I would not recommend that for a garage. It is fairly fragile once applied.

Yes. We use ours in the garage or outside on a nice day. Manufacturers probably wouldn't recommend outdoor use though

If it is properly installed with a 220V power source, yes. In the garage and outside as well. This unit works inside or outside. Best to mount in shade if outside.

I think a garage would be inside. A carport would be iffy . I made a weatherproof box for mine so I could put it outside by the faucet. It worked fine.

I do not think it would work in a Garage. I built a mount for both of the panels to use at my Storage area to keep my batteries topped off. It worked to keep them charged up but it was not in a Garage.I really do not think it would work in a Garage unless you had the panels Outside and Wired into the garage.

I believe you could use this item this way, however you would of course need to measure the distance and check when the kennel sections are outstretched how long it is if it would reach end to end to your garage walls. It would need to be securely fastened to your garage walls up and down the kennel section on both ends as it stands securely as a round circle but probably not so much if it were out stretched like you are talking about.

Yes. Perfect for the garage. That is where I use it. I attached it to the front of one stall and use it no matter the weather. It works well.

I have two concerns with your question.First, I would not put the unit in the garage due to carbon monoxide gases.Put the unit outside in a safe area.Secondly, Use only a power cord that is heavy duty, like one used for window air condition units

I think garages can be attached (connected to your home) or detached (not directly connected to your home). I have this unit inside of an attached garage.

Absolutely. I plan to paint my garage with it. It's low pressure, so paint doesn't fly everywhere. It will require taping off and drop cloths on the floor to prevent aerosol mist from covering the floor near the wall.

It works fine in my home. I have one electrical panel, thus all the common wires are served from one source which is what makes it work. It would work to a detached garage as long as its wiring is from the home's electrical panel.
