can it be used in a garage

I use mine in the garage to filter and move the air around. I wouldn't try to use it as a dust collection system. I don't think it's designed for that type of application.

I don't see why not. When I pull in my driveway the light comes on right away. I would imagine it would do same in front of garage. Plus the fixture is very appealing!

I believe that it would work for a garage. I have one in my basement and it is around 1000 square feet. I have been extremely pleased with this product.

I can't really say for sure. But the reason they say the garage isn't good is because they do not have heaters in them for sub freezing temps. If your garage is always above 50 degrees I would think any unit would be fine.

I would say probably not very well if your garage gets that hot. This isn't an air conditioner, it's just a fan so if you want something that can cool down a garage that hot, this isn't the fan for you.It will probably feel like the hot air is just blowing around your garage.

The person I bought this for set it upwitg his computer and uses it all through out his house - centrally located in his basement living room so I'm sure a garage would work

Yes you can install in the garage, but Kidde discourages installation near florescent lights. They also mention starting a car engine can release combustible material, but I imagine only older cars. I have two installed in my 3-car garage with no issues.

Well, it is electric and has an electrical cord so that would be an issue and if it was outdoors then debris would likely be falling into the uncovered container and could well clog the workings of the device, so might present problems. One response states that they use it in the garage and I can understand that would work, but I don't keep my animals in the garage so I cannot address that option.

I use it in Garage. You would have to check with Rubbermaid if it can stand up to the weather elements.

I would not recommend that for a garage. It is fairly fragile once applied.

It works fine in my home. I have one electrical panel, thus all the common wires are served from one source which is what makes it work. It would work to a detached garage as long as its wiring is from the home's electrical panel.

It can be used in the home but will still only cool to the manufacturer's noted square footage. I do use mine in the garage where an A/C would not make sense because of the cost and cooling loss. I would only use it in the house for brief periods as it does add moisture into the air (making it more humid inside), would only drop the inside temp a little as compared to outside temps, and it is a bit loud for indoors. No complaints on its function in my garage where it has kept it very cool for the price. Hope that helps.

I use it in my 2 car garage with room to spare. Hope that gives you some idea.

Yes,it will work on a garage. My husband and I are living in an addition built onto a camper and this works perfectly.

It would work, but not from a distance. It would be better as a garage type decor.

I use mine in the garage but it doesn't get as cold in Colorado as it does in Minnesota. However, I can't think of why it wouldn't work.

I have two concerns with your question.First, I would not put the unit in the garage due to carbon monoxide gases.Put the unit outside in a safe area.Secondly, Use only a power cord that is heavy duty, like one used for window air condition units
