Can this be left out in the rain?

Yes it can. The water drains out. I did buy a cover though for winter and long stretches when I don't use it. But all materials seem to be made to withstand the elements. I also bought a storage trunk to put the cushions in on the deck. You can definetly leave them out but I figure they will last longer this way.

If there is a chip in the paint it will rust. We got covers to protect them.

Yes it can be left in rain cushions dry fast and I had no rust at all during my first summer of use.

Don't see why not. Providing the unit is in an enclosure that is protected from rain.

I've left mine out in the rain and snow and it still works. It was hanging and no water collected on it.

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.

I would say possibly.., ONLY if it was protected from direct moisture..and directly from the top and sides..,I wouldn't chance it getting wet, although it is constructed pretty well I don't think water and this would last too long. It's a expensive up front unit..although the payoff is great. I would have it loosely "enclosed" in some sort of housing that would protect it from the rain, let it breathe, if you will..-I know they advise against this- it may be a heat sync issue- burnout,But, take a chance possibly, if you like, it's all new. .I will at some point ..

No. The covering is very flimsy, and the seams on mine frayed apart within a couple weeks' use. Also, there is nothing to hold the top down - it's just a flap that can lay on top of the insert. Better than nothing in the rain, but not waterproof.

I never leave it out in the rain, mainly because of the wind. They do suggest, however, that you can waterproof it by spraying it with Scotchguard or similar product and letting it dry before installation.

If you drop it in water, whatever's inside will probably get wet. But from my experience, it'll stand up to rain for a while, but don't expect to stand out in the rain for hours and hours.

I suppose you can use it outside, but I would not leave it out in the rain. Per the instruction manual, you can "clean the ScatMat with mild soapy water but do not submerge the electronics in water."

Not water resistant at all if it's left outside. Perhaps can withstand a light rain moving from one place to another but that's it. I think you could help it a little with water proofer like what you use on tents, shoes, etc but that's just for a light protection.

I don't think so. If it rains, it will damage the electronic. Plus, it can be stolen if you put it out door.

It's meant to soak up a lot of water so I wouldn't keep it outside unless you remember to bring it in when there is a chance of rain.

I leave mine outside, but it's under the cover for the grill. It sometimes gets a little damp, but not super wet. Seems pretty durable but I don't know.

I use mine outside every year. I would not recommend it being left out in the rain however as the water would get directly to the motor.

Sure but I wouldn't leave it out in the rain or anything. Also you still need a secure place to hang it from.

It is made to be left out during the rainy winter months. We sent ours back because we found that the amount of rain that is collected from the roof top of our new shade cover was way more water that this can hold in just a few hours time.

Yes, it can! It's made out of a hard plastic, so the rain won't ruin it. The sticks may peel off the sides due to rain if it's outside, but for the most part the toys (or what ever is stored inside the bin) shouldn't get wet.
