I saw a comment about trouble with it when it was cold.how cold have you used it without issues?

I never been used in cold climate or freezer situations as I live in the tropics where it is hot and very humid - works fine in these conditions.

I stored it in the house until we had deer to weigh. I have not left it in freezing temps as I have ruined digital displays before by freezing them , although these new displays could be entirely safe in cold temps.

I've used it while down in the 50's without issue. The only issue I encountered at all to this point was a battery contact issue when using it in different orientations. The unit would lose power until I repositioned the batteries. Happened a few times. I added a thin piece of foam under the battery cover to help aid in keeping pressure on the batteries at all times.

we bring ours in from the cold when not in use as it is digital and has a battery cold will affect it. But we use it weigh when it is cold and just bring it in when done, and it works fine.

I have used it when the temperature was below 0C (32F) and above 32C. Same reading for the tongue weight on my empty Mission trailer, 331 pounds. The screen seems to get a little slower (1 second) responding when it is cold but the reading is the same as when it is warm.

Not a problem. It works great in all weather. I live in Northern MN and it does get cold and it keeps working.

I use it for auto racing in the summer months, so I have no experience with it in very cold conditions.

Not really a problem, and I was a bit surprised, as I wore it on cold days riding my bike. It was fine at 40 F.

I leave mine hooked up to my fifth wheel every night, coldest night so far has only been 15 degrees but no frozen lines yet!

Cynthia, I honestly don't know. Temperatures here can reach well below zero and I haven't had any issues with real cold temps. My guess if water did get on the compressor and found a way into the compressor itself, cold temps may have frozen and expanded some components causing it to fail. Similiar to a cracked engine block of a motor boat that wasn't winterized properly. Again, only a guess as my unit thankfully continues to operate without issues.

Not sure as this will be our first winter with it. Our neighbor has one and has never had a problem.

Hi Mary. Well, I live in Michigan and so far so good. A few times I used it around 40 degrees. I have not had any problems at all. I know its going to get alot coler but so far I love it.

I have gone through three of them. They appear to have an issue with them. Mine lasted one month to nine months? Less than a year. Means they were bad from manufactures build date. Contact Velocity. They may be able to assist you. I smashed my third one three days ago. Made a funny humming noise and wouldn't shut off. All were famous for always freezing up sometimes for days up to weeks before it unfreeze. Good luck! We were sold defective items I suspect. By the manufacture.

I have not had any problems. I use it everyday 8-10 times a day. I use it with my home health patients. This also reads Celsius degrees and says "low" when freezing cold and cant get a reading. (When I leave it in the car overnight.)

have only used cold. We use it mostly on our motorcycles. We have forgotten to empty and when doing it the next day the ice is still in it. It also has a nice handle.

I have never had it freeze on me, but I would say it should be good. Ya might want to contact the manufacturer.

Have not used it in the cold. But then cold to someone from CA is different than someone from Alaska!!! How cold are you referring to?

We got to +15 here once and thought we were going to freeze to death! Anyway, I have not tried them that cold, I suspect they'll work just fine since most electronic things like that are good down to -40. We used to live in Edmonton, AB, it hit -47 (without windchill) once, we decided to move.

I used mine for about a month (2nd home) before I shut it off for the colder temperatures.I have to say - IT WORKED GREAT.

Ours has been fine. No problems. Minor fluctuations in temp because we keep our home cool in the winter so we would just turn it off if the temp got too low.

Depends on what you mean by cold. We have had some 15-20 degree lows here where I hunt this season. It didn't seem to affect it's performance. If you run alkaline batteries like I am, you will experience a significantly reduced battery life below freezing. However, that's par for the course with all cams.
