Is it weather resistant? Can you use this bad boy for outdoor feeding? Will rain totally fry the George Jetson Advance Mechanism?

I have not tried using it outside. But as a precaution, make sure it is under a bit of shelter. Just so it won't to fry the "Jetson" thingy

I have mine sitting outside but under a patio awning where it is protected from the direct rain. I don't think it would be rain-proof if it was left out in the open. The battery opening is on the bottom side of the round center and the top is covered by a plastic flip lid.

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.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

I'm pretty sure it is described as being for wet, outside use. I bought it for my jetski trailer which is outside 24/7. So far it works very well and I think is guaranteed for life.

Yes this tent is absolutely great in bad weather. There are 6 places where you can stake the tent into the ground and maybe 6 more places where you can tether the shell. So yes it will withstand the wind very well as well as the rain.

I would not recommend this toy for outdoors. It's very lightweight and if it's windy it will blow over. I use mine indoors always. But it is a great toy and it is a hit with my 3 girls. I would purchase it again.

No the unit is not designed to be weather resistant. You could however easily run an electric wire to up a 4x4 pressure treated post to an exterior outlet then mount the unit to the post and plug it in. Then make a weather proof enclosure around the outlet and the unit to make a weatherproof. Run your low voltage wires from the float/switch up the post to the unit and poof; problem solved! Good luck!

Mine has done well in rain and snow. bought a second one for the walkway. Both are hung on garden stakes so no protection from the elements.

I would not use this where the motor is directly exposed to rain. Where the motor is sheltered from the rain, it works well.

I always launch from the bay or inlet when I fish. I launch other times from the beach so I know what you mean by very wet. I am not sure it would hold up to that kind of use/abuse. There are some more open connections like the battery that I would be concerned with. It is a good unit and I am sure there is a way to make it more water/ wave proof. It depends on your yak.

Looking at the one I have, I don't think I would mount it without protection from the elements. Direct rain wouldn't do it any good. My manual that came with it said nothing about where to mount it, only leave space for air circulation. I'm using mine in a 5th wheel camper. Hope this helps. Great product.

I do drive mine outdoors, but it is not very rugged. It is good on paved surfaces but not on gravel or bumpy yards. I have ridden mine in the rain but I wouldn't let it get too wet or it might damage it. I don't think it would be good in snow or on icy surfaces. Better for malls or paved surfaces.

Pete: Sorry, I cannot attest to its outdoor worthiness. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for the reliable answer. Perhaps others may post responses from their own experiences.

I do not use any electric appliance in the rain. If one does he is looking for trouble. I own 2 of these grills,one up north and one downsouth in our winter home. They are the greatest.

The motor is water resistant, but not designed to be outside exposed to the elements year round. The rest of the unit will be just fine outside under all conditions.

No portable residential/light commercial generator that I"ve seen was OK to be used under any sort of precipitation -- rain or snow. Simply get a 3x3 sheet of nice and thick plywood and put it on top of the generator, which should protect it from rain adequately, unless there is a strong crosswind. If there is, prop another sheet of plywood against the where the wind blows.

It's fine to ride with it in the rain, but after a while, or if it sits in permanently wet conditions (for example if it sits with a lot of snow on top), moisture might seep inside, which interferes with the on/off/flash switch's functioning. There is a gasket, but I've found that this happens anyway. There is a lifetime warranty on the product, though you have to send the light away before they will send you a new one.

This item is very sterdy. I assume since it is designed to be retractabl, it should not be kept open. I think the wind wwould do more damage than rain. Rain, you can increase the slope.

NO! It is not strong enough to withstand weather. It is only for internal (inside buildings, houses, etc) use not for outdoor use.
