Hi Thomas,It is not water resistant, so better not to use it outdoor. but it is sensor detection. it's a nice one.

It is made of an unfinished wood. To use it outside you would have to put some kind of finish on it to protect it from the elements. Other than that it would work.

As far as the unit itself, no reason it can't be used outside. The legs are not very strong but depending on where in the U.S. you live, don't see a problem.

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.

I don't know why it couldn't be used outside. It is all plastic (or something like that). It seems like it would be water proof. Moisture might make it slippery and therefore not too safe; maybe that is why it is listed for indoor use.

I don't think it can be used outdoor. The rain will absolutely fry mechanism and also get in around the rim to wet the food.

Not sure it's meant for outdoor use. I would think it would be fine as long as it doesn't get rwined on.

No, I wouldn't use it outdoors. It does not have the proper seals in place for wet conditions.

The is not labeled for outdoor. I'd suspect the exterior coating would become brittle and break down under UV and weather exposure.

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

Yes it can be used outdoors, I personally wouldn't recommend outdoor use unless you are going to use the controller in a outdoor green house or your tool shed or even your garage. If your going to run and extension cord to your garage or greenhouse with the unit it would be perfect, and at a good price for the quality. Hope that helps a little bit, good luck!

Not to my knowledge. I am sure it is not sealed to be used outdoors, unless it were in a very protected location. Also, it's wood, and that would probably, unless rigidly maintained, not do too well outside either.

My daughter uses it inside her house, so I have no experience with it being placed outside. Judging from the materials it's constructed of, I would offer that if you intend to use it in an outside environment that has wide temperature ranges, it may not hold up.

It is fine to use outdoors. However, if you use an extension cord you will want to make certain it is appropriate for outdoor use.

You can use this outdoors, but I wouldn't keep it outside. The grass under the mat will quickly die, which defeats the point of protecting the lawn. Good luck.

No,it is not intended for outdoor use, however if it is placed where it will not be directly exposed to the elements, it should be fine. If you place it under a porch, gazebo, or similar protection, so that it isn't soaked by a rainfall, there should be no worries.
