can it be used outside?

It can't even be used inside Susan. I installed it in my garage, used it one time and it wouldn't retract. I returned it for a full refund and am still looking for a cord reel that made in the USA rather than install another piece of Chinese junk. Good luck!

The reel is enamel painted steel. So it may rustThe springs are steel so they may rustThe cord is heavy duty but still should not be in the rain.If you are somewhere without salt air or a lot of rain it should be fine

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

It is made of an unfinished wood. To use it outside you would have to put some kind of finish on it to protect it from the elements. Other than that it would work.

It could be used outdoors IF it is under an eave or patio cover. It is definitely NOT designed to be used in an open, weather exposed, condition. The amount of light (lumens) emitted from this fixture is limited. It's enough to provide emergency lighting in the event of a power failure but would probably prove insufficient in an open exterior location.

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.

yes, it can be used on the outside and works quite well. But, it did break one of my windows. the company, however, was very accommodating and paid to have the window repaired.

No, I would not leave it outdoors, but you could use it outdoors if there is NO chance of it getting wet.

You could use it outside, however I wouldn't. It's very nice, probably too nice for outside

Don't see why it could not be used outdoors, But keep in mind this unite is not waterproof! These are a excellent unite & move a considerable amount of air. I own two.

I don't know if it can because it doesn't specify....I would say not to use it outdoors because it can get damaged by the weather/elements. It doesn't seem sturdy enough to leave outdoors 24/7, but if you put it out only during the day and bring it in if bad weather occurs, I suppose it might be fine. However, I would advise getting one specifically made for outdoors.

You can use it outdoors but its too nice to wreck from weather. Its a really nice wood that probly wont do well in really hot sun or rain. best used indoors.

I suspect that one could use it outside BUT would highly recommend that the bench be given a coat or two of a sealer to protect the wood from the elements. I use my bench at the foot of the bed so have no experience about it lasting when using outside.

That is up to you. It is not designed for outdoor use or would be covered under the manufacturer's return policy if used that way

As Mr. Glover has discovered, you can indeed use this item outside, provided you are taking care to keep it at least somewhat protected from the elements! I hope this answer will assist you.

Can it be used outdoors? Yes. Is it wise or likely to end well? No, no it's not. :)

yes, you can use it outdoor. And there are something to stick on the floor at the bottom of each panel, I think it only works for tiles or hardwood flooring.
