The item description says "for indoor use only." Is there really some reason we couldn't use this outside in a sheltered spot?

My guess is that the plastic tank might melt in heat or crack in cold and the bowl part although stainless steel might get hot or freeze in cold. I personally would buy something that's made for outdoor use and skip this.

I don't see any reason why this can't be used outside in shaded area besides water getting hot or cold due to outside weather conditions. Hope this helps.

I have been using mine on the patio for years. I use it to feed the local critters like the squirrels. It is in the shade most of the time. The bottle part is plastic and if left in direct sunlight for hours I would imagine it might melt.

Yes You can, there is no reason you can't this idem holds over 2 gallons of water and is quite sturdy, definitely the best water feeder out there.

I have one for indoor & outdoor use. The one outside is within a breeze way. I noticed mosquitoes will lay lay eggs in the water bowl and there can be hundreds swimming around. Evidently they can make their way up the holding tank because I have found flying mosquitoes inside that must have come to maturity before the tank refilled with water which was once a week.

Not at all. It is all plastic with a metal bowl, so no problem with using outdoors.

We don't use our outside at all but I would guess it would need to be taken in when not in use..it doesn't seem like it would be weather tight.

I don't know for sure, but I'd be hesitant to use it outside. It seems to me to be best suited for indoor use.

Indoor only, you would need to enclose it in a weathertight case to use it outside.

It is designed for indoor use. Producet description does not discuss using it outside either on the amazon written description or the packages written description.

Could be used outside in sheltered position but recommend treatment to protect hinges/ areas susceptible to corrosion. We mounted ours inside in shared hallways, which avoids any "unwanted" attention. Good luck.

i think it can be used outdoor if there is no rain ,if not , it only can be used indoor

The one I purchased says that if it is not marked for outdoor use, it is ONLY for use indoors. And mine is NOT marked outdoor. So, my guess is no.

also, you would need to provide shade if being used outside in warm weather on a very temporary basis. It is normally meant for indoor use.

Negative it is not designed for outdoor use! Unless you enclose it somehow so the weather can't get to it! Hope it helps!

It says to use it in a " covered location" it can be a damp location, but it's rated indoor and outdoor

According to the specifications it's for indoor use only. I have mine outside but in a fully enclosed fixture so it will not be the weather.

I am going to assume that it is for indoor only because it doesn't say. Usually, in my experience, it would say for outdoor if it could be used outdoors.

Mine is being used indoors only, and from what i could see during the installation, this is not exactly weather proof. Mine works well, but it is indoors.

Its made for indoor use. If you used it outside and it rained you would have problems with it shoirtiung out.

I don't see anything in the description that indicates it's supposed to be indoor/ outdoor. I would not try to put this thing outside in the cold or in the rain.

I think the manual says it can be used outside. We have only used ours inside.
