is this OK for outdoor use

I do not believe it is intended for that purpose, however if it were mounted in a weatherproof cabinet with properly protected electrical and plumbing you could probably get away with it. Also it would have to be an environment where freezing temperatures are never encountered. Many of the parts are plastic, but there may be some like the drawer slides that are steel and might eventually rust.

It is electric so I wouldn't leave it outside. Also the cord is about 3' long, but it should work fine with a extention cord if needed

No, I can't see it being for outside use. The wooden parts aren't treated. We use it at the bottom of our stairs to the second floor so our grandchild can't climb up unattended.

No. This would not last outside. The top is wood and the metal is not sturdy enough for out side.

I bought this as a gift and when I forwarded them your question, here's the response I received: I doubt it's meant for outside use. I think it wouldn't last too long. Hope this helps!

It is made of heavy duty plastic, so the unit itself would be fine for outdoor use, providing you have a wall or surface that you can mount it on.

It is made of wood, so I am not sure it would last as long if used outside in bad weather. If used outside on a nice day, it would probably be fine.

No, this is not for outdoor use, unless you can keep it covered such a way that there is no chance of getting water into it. This is an electrical equipment with electronic circuitry and any water getting in will certainly and immediately damage it.

As Mr. Glover has discovered, you can indeed use this item outside, provided you are taking care to keep it at least somewhat protected from the elements! I hope this answer will assist you.

No. I believe it can only be used outside. I've only used it outside and it works great.

Sorry, but I would not purchase this for outdoor use unless it is protected by a covering of some sort. I left mine out in the open and it was damaged after it got wet from the rain.

Yes, but do remember that it is electric. You do not want it subjected to wet weather. The outside is a sturdy plastic so it should be fine outdoors.

It's not built to withstand weather. So I doubt it should be outside unless very well protected. It's a good device though and I always received great support.

Sure you can use it outdoors. It has a small battery box on it that would probably be completely ruined, but you are free to put the thing any place you want. Just don't expect it to last long out there if it starts raining...

No, I would not leave it outdoors, but you could use it outdoors if there is NO chance of it getting wet.

I doubt that it is rated for outdoor use. Perhaps in a weather-protected enclosure you could.

I would not use this outdoors unless it was protected from water/moisture. Fire/injury risk if it gets wet, not sealed to be waterproof.
