Can you use this outside in the winter? I would like to buy one for my niece and nephew but would like them to enjoy it for Christmas. Thanks!

My grandson (5 years old) loves rolling around or just sitting in it but he uses it on grass. I would imagine a layer of snow would not harm the ball. However, one consideration is the size of the entryway. Kids with snowsuits or heavy jackets may have a tight squeeze.

My Grandkids use it outside all the time. you didn't say where they live, but if they live where they have snow it may be difficult for them to use in the winter.

I would think so! I would just stay away from any hard or sharp objects (ice, etc).

I just bought this Christmas for a gift, my son loved it and it was out side all winter and still looks great! He did have a pump in it to keep water from freezing

We left ours outside in Ohio through the winter. I was surprised how well it held up through all the snow and ice. There are some evidence of wear but that comes with the elements of being outside. It is small enough that you could bring in the garage in the winter but I do not think that would be nessecary. When it rains sometimes the windows do not shut because the wood expands, but they always go back to normal once it dries up. Good Playhouse for the price.

Did it get too cold? We left ours outside one night, and it didn't work the next day. Toro customer service says it may have frozen. We'll try it again, but we're close to returning it. What good is a snow blower that has to come into the house at night?

I have used it outdoors without any problem. I would not leave it out in the weather. I keep mine coiled up in a box on the patio. I have not seen anything wrong with this. I will take in inside when it gets cold.

Sorry, I'm a buyer living in the Caribbean so no snow here. I guess it may work if the snow is powdery though.....not wet.....sorry I can't be more helpful.

I love this snow blower for what it is -- cordless for light snowfall. I had no issues at all with it. Obviously, warranty concerns are valid as it won't be used for many months, but you can unpack it, set it up, charge the battery and insure that it runs. If it doesn't run you can return/exchange or deal with warranty repair.

We never used it in the snow. The large back wheel would probably be "pullable" as the other commenter suggested.

We used it for our Christmas decorations outside and had no problems at all. It was a very cold and snowy winter as well.

Yes, Mine has been use outside all winter, and it is still going. The best product I have found, well worth the money, I plan on buying more, I just hadn't gotten around to it until I saw how well this one has work. I use mine at my barn, and it is in all kinds of weather. I hope this helps you.

I have not taken mine out of the box as I will not be using it until winter. Sorry I can't help.

Not a problem. It works great in all weather. I live in Northern MN and it does get cold and it keeps working.

It's up year round here, but no snow. It handles wind with no issue. But I don't think I'd leave it up for snow.

I use it year round. I just bought one at the begining of summer. It does swem more like a winter product, to keep snow out, but I keep iy on year round to keep leaves out. Many people put a piece of ply wood over there's year round. This looks nicer and works

I've had this genny for years and it's been flawless..... of course you can use it in a snow storm! That's why you buy it... just keep the snow off it.

We haven't tried because its been snowy and windy. Based on how it flies inside (once you get the hang of the controls) it would be easier to fly it outside. It really zips and we keep running into stuff inside. Only downfall is that the battery doesn't last as long as we would have hoped.

We are currently going through winter, and we had no issues with it. The few times my children have used it worked just fine.
