can it be used outside to keep ice from forming

It got to hot for me to able to use for my purpose, bought it to keep kombucha container warm, much hotter and it would have boiled. One of those things you buy and are stuck with it just lying around. Don't have ice in my area, so can't answer your question accept to say it gets too hot.

I don't really know if it can be used outside or not. I use it as intended for my plants. My cats love it when there is enough space for them to lay on and look out the window. ( I have a few these heat mats). The directions say to wipe up moisture when spilled water lands on it.

I installed mine on the roof AND the gutters as it would be of no value if the gutters froze solid. Ice dams would still form without a way for the melted water to get away.

I don't see why not. What this product does is shoot a solution into the fitting where the hose attachment attaches to the pump and it shoots a solution into the pump that pushes out the water and adds a bit of antifreeze and lubrication solution to protect your pump from freezing and cracking when the out side temperature drops below freezing. i live in Wisconsin where the winters are extremely cold I use it to prevent my pump from freezing and cracking and it works really well for that.

I have for short periods, but it may not be a good idea. The heating/cooling element is on the side of the cooler. I would imagine if the ice melted enough that water got in there, it could damage it. Maybe if you did ice in milk jugs or something.

I would think it could be used on an outside porch. It doesn't have a freezer section so the whole unit runs at fridge temps.

Yes but does not work well if you are trying to use it outdoors in cold weather.

Did not have that problem but a good outdoor silicone caulk should take care of any leaks. If the unit is full and it freezes it will be likely to crack from expansion of the ice.

I don't see any reason why it cannot be used outside as long as it's above freezing temperatures.

It could be used that way, but it would not hold a lot with ice and it runs the risk of leaking, as other users have mentioned. I have not had any leaking issues though!

We are using it on our uutside deck it will remain there throughout the year. We will cover it when the weather get cold and nasty. It may be a good idea to put a protective coat on it

I assume yes as long as you cover the table and store it somewhere that not much snow and ice accumulates on top otherwise the plastic may bend and brake!!!

If there is no gutter that would be fine, but if there is a gutter I would put it in the gutter also or your gutter may fill up with ice.

I cannot attest to the outdoors question but it makes solid square ice cubes with little indentations in the back like the ones large commercial ice machs make

It has to be used outdoor if using propane, and yes, the unit can be damaged by rain or snow, so it's better if you cover it. But do not bother buying this and hoping it will work on propane. Mine worked for a day and failed. No customer service, no parts, only speaks french (which I do). DO NOT BUY!

I think it would be ok outside but you would need to make sure it is dry inside because of mildew. I have only used my inside this winter and the ice lasted for days. We love it. I think it would be great for outside around a pool area. Holds lots too!!!
