Mine arrived three days ago. why do the instructions say not to use outside? I want to use on my patio so I can sweep the skin dust away.

I guess I miss that part, because I use mine outside, is quiet and nice in the patio, plus the flying dry skin is not a problem

I'm with you. It can be messy and I see no reason why you can't use outdoors. I certainly do. I have used it with car door open while waiting to get my toes polished for example. It's a good little gem.

I have used mine outside and it worked great no issues. My guess would be moisture and such that may cause problems.

That, I could not say. I returned mine as it worked terrible. Sure it buffed the callous so it was smoother but it in no way removed it or even reduced it much for that matter. The roller motor was just too weak even with new batteries.

I use mine while sitting on my deck and I've had no problems with it. I agree that they must mean keep it away from moisture.

No it's not supposed to be for wet areas. The company told me it shouldn't even be outside, it will void warranty. I bring mine in if not in use but sometimes I forget:). I'm sure a few sprinkles have hit it and it seems ok.

Hi Noreen, I originally ordered one jug and sprayed it as instructed to one area of my roof. It does not work immediately but over a few months time. It absolutely DOES work. So, a few months ago i ordered 3 more jugs to do the rest of my roof. All you need is a sprayer, measuring cup, water, and the solution. Put it on when there is no chance of rain, for a day or so, and when it's not windy. I put it on early in the morning before the sun got too warm. You want it to be able to soak in as long as possible and not be dried up by your shingles being hot from the sun. Don't rinse, scrub, or add anything else to it. I hope this helps and clarifies any questions or concerns you may have. Lisa Hi Noreen, I originally ordered one jug and sprayed it as instructed to one area of my roof.

I would doubt that this product would be effective outside, with the carpet exposed to the weather. However if you are talking about carpet in a patio enclosure or three season room, it certainly would help to keep the carpet clean. Remember, this product HELPS to keep the carpet clean. It is not a magical solution that will allow abuse of the carpet.

Sorry, I am pretty naïve on this. I think I would try the experts at one of the outdoor stores, see what they recommend and then pick it up online. That's what I did. Sorry I am not more wise.

I used mine outside with no problem. They really are nice/unique. I live at the beach so filled jar with sand and shells and it is really pretty at night.

Once I place my vac outside in the spring, it stays there. If its going to rain for a long time, I will shut it down... but never move it till the fall. This is my 3rd season using it this way, keeping my finger crossed.

I never noticed any smell, except maybe immediately out of the packing. It went straight out onto my patio, so I sit on it out in the open air...if you plan to use it in an enclosed space I think airing it outside first would work if needed. I've been enjoying my morning coffee out there! Hints...If it gets dewy, it only takes a second to flip the cusions round and I can enjoy immediately. For actual rain, you are better off leaning cusions on end for awhile, then rain drips out more easily.

I've used mine for about a month out on the patio. I water every few days when i do my plants. Some spots will turn brown but the dog still uses it. I throw it away after that. don't reuse it.

I do the same as Mike Bearsely that I take it out to the backyard and hose it down from the front side of to get the dust off primarily the back side where the dust accumulates. Then I let it dry completely in the sun. My old one has worked for 17.5 years until recently one blade stops working and I bought a new one of the same model. I did a video review on this product.

It is fine to go outside. Mine has been out there for over a month and it is working great

I think the instruction say indoor use only. It would probably be ok to use outdoors if, for example, the outdoor use was for a short time, the weather was clear and you take care to bring it back indoors at the end of the evening, but I don't think it's intended to be left outdoors or subjected to moisture in the air.

Mine is a question too: product description states the product shouldn't be used around home/pets/ children, I see it's ultraviolet light sourced, would the ultraviolet be the danger source enough to discourage use on a back porch where flies continuously buzz 9 months a year??

It says to either apply in the shade or in an enclosed area. I applied it outside on an over cast day. An hour after I applied it the Sun came out. Two hours after that it rained. The application survived and I haven't had any problems even though my conditions were not advisable.

It doesn't perform well outdoors for me. I have it on my shed and it developed this white crustiness on the bottom in about two days. Makes it difficult to see the numbers and turn them.

Just twist the bag off & use sander without it. Dust will shoot out for sure, so you may want to sand outdoors. It does a great job.

I have used it externally and have seen others use it that way also--but that is not to say it was intended to be. Outside the insulation will eventually deteriorate and crack due to weather and sunshine but that will take a while. Best wishes!
