The reason I bought two of these was the combination of the excellent price and 3 year warranty. I have had my af-180's for about 6 months now and they still work but they do have some faults one being that sometimes the heat up timer for the fluid can mess up meaning that it squirts out oily fluid that is sticky. I have also noticed that one of my smoke machines sprays smoke at an angle which is because when it arrives the nozel was bent. I would still say that these smoke machines are a reliable product and for the price, warranty, dmx capabilities and great service from thomann I would recommend buying them as a great affect for your setup (keep in mind they won't work in places with smoke sensitive fire alarms). Works well with "stairville Fast Fluid".

Very good fogger, but needs own technical adjustment for 100% run.
Kousek 27.08.2018
Was necessarily technical adjustment. I had to install stronger pressure pump, cause fog was omitted. After thet, is everything great. But it was frustrating start with fogger :) I make 2 reclamations and evrytime was same problem with fogger.
Byla nutná technická úprava, p?ed?lání tlakové pumpy, která nesta?ila a mlha ?asto vynechávala. Po této úprav? je v¨e v po?ádku. Za?átky byly ale velice slo¸ité, ne¸ jsme p?i¨li na to jak dát v¨e do správného chodu. Výrobce by m?l tuto úpravu sám vytvo?it. 2x jsem reklamoval a v¸dy se stejným problémem.

I use these vertical smoke machines for 8+ years, never had any issue, little maintenance. Great effect in small and even big venues.

I believe there's a technical flaw in this machine. Along with the fog a small droplets of fluid come out of the fuse. The steam blow is very weak and starts very slowly. I don't recomend this machine to anyone. I bought two and returned them the next day, because I found them to be completely useless. I even had to pay the expenses for the return.

Works Well for this Price-range
Alphar 19.08.2025
Good output and strong CO₂-style effect with nice LED colors. DMX control works well and the build feels solid. Heats up fast and looks great in darker venues. It is a bit loud when firing and uses fluid quite quickly, but overall a reliable and fun effect for the price.

Nice machine with good output.
DJSanderson 22.02.2021
What i like best is that the LEDs can light also when smoke is not produced lighting up the raising cloud.
That is a feature tha some more expensive machines have forgot.

Nice effect smoke machine
Anonymous 05.10.2015
Output and light are ok. Looks very nice. I bought 2 of these and the other was spitting out smoke fluid. It was fixed by Thomann (adjustment of temperature sensor) and now it works again.

looks amazing
Valhalla 05.07.2017
perfect for those explosive moments.
great colours, great fog height, only downside is if left on a timer it does use an incredible amount of fluid.
