Is this suitable for outdoor use under a dormer?

I would think not as it has no moisture seal between the two halves enclosing the circuitry.

I use it indoors. I am sure it is not water proof. Maybe you can use it outdoors if it is well protected from the rain

manual says indoor use, installed mine outdoors and is still working ok (6+ months)

Yes. I have one of this model outdoor under covered area for couple of years and it is working fine. As long as it does not in the open and could get wet you are fine.

I had good luck with it in my attic; however, it is not made of weather resistant materials, so I would not try it outside.

The instructions say yes. It is approved for outdoor use but needs to be covered and dry. under a porch or on a covered porch. Does get hot so follow instructions on proper clearance. Mine is in my garage and works good for a small area.

This is definitely not weather resistant and would most likely cease to function or create risk of electrical fire if used out of doors. If left outside only during good weather it would probably be fine.

I wouldnt. It isn't very rugged and I don't think the wood is treated for outdoor use.

Oh yes, I would say so. Mine is outside, but for sure you could use it inside as well.

It can be, but it needs to be sheltered because of the plug/power supply. Ours is mounted to the exterior wall of the house, but well under the roof overhang.

Honestly not sure about outdoor use its inside at our house. I don't see why not if in protected outdoor area. Well made after 3 yrs of heavy use keeps beer cold ���

I would NOT recommend it for outdoor use as it is not treated lumber and would probably become warped or damaged from wet weather. Everything in the guide shows for indoor use but nothing states it is only for indoor use. It is very sturdy, but do not know if it would hold up outdoors.

Since the information on this unit says nothing about it being rated for outside, I'm making an assumption it's only good for indoor use. I have this unit in my master bedroom and like it very much. Nice looking, fairly quiet and the closest ceiling hugger fan I've found to date.

We have that same design in our entrance hall, and the top is open, and susceptible to moisture, etc. I'd have to say no on outdoor use, unless it's an enclosed patio, with some climate control.

Unless the manufacturer says it is ok, I would say no to outside unless it is in a enclosure that sheds moisture.....

That would depend on where you were putting it. It is not weather resistant so it needs to be in a protected environment.

Yes, it's rated for outdoor use, though we use it in the garage. Made it fine through the winter.

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.
