A smoke monster
Marco_erre 18.07.2017
You will not believe how much smoke this micro machine can spit out. it takes something like 4 minutes to warm up and load the first shot, but one it is going it takes a few less and this thing can get a huge amount of fog in a medium venue, if you keep pressing the button.

perks: very light, huge amount of smoke, very very small liquid usage, long distance shot

defects: a little slow to warm up, the power cord is way too short, there is no "auto shoot" on the machine, you have to actively press the button, and while you are on stage is not always comfortable, a little noisy.

anyway, for the price, it is way more than expected.
i got 2 and they can really get a medium venue totally foggy.

Great for outdoor parties
Howard 12.05.2020
I bought this for one of our annual summer parties to add a bit of drama to the lights when the sun goes down. It's not suitable for a stage show, but good fun and works well enough for a small gathering. Don't expect a huge fog bank and you won't be disappointed. The reservoir holds enough for a reasonable amount of smoke. The trick is not to hold the footswitch down, but to add smoke in short bursts with a short rest in between each burst.

Surprising Amount Of Fog!
Joe S 11.11.2019
For something so small and cheap it works surprisingly well.
I use it with a dense fluid and it's fantastic when using on stage or even on a film set!
It does take about 5 minutes to heat up, and it would be great if there was some sort of wireless controller.
But for what it is you can't go wrong!

Works well for the price
Mich M 04.11.2021
For the price it does its job, ising it with the recommended fluids from the same brand and had no particular issues. Takes some time to get up to temperature but that's fine. Used in a small-medium studio for photo/video effects.

When I received it the fog was going all over the place and shooting at an angle, then I noticed the small tume inside the nozzle was bent. Straightened it with a pair of pliers and had no issues since. A bit weird, could not have happened in shipping, but it's working fine now so...

Very satisfied with this machine
licht 19.12.2015
It's a budge device, and I got what I expected, works great for home parties :) There is simply no need for more for a small party and it serves that purpose. I can recommend this device.

Pro tip: DO clean the unit often, preferably after each use, to ensure a long life.

Great for small stage use or for halloween
Anonymous 26.08.2015
This mini fog machine is very useful for building into sets for small stages and theatres. It would also be good to use as a special effect for halloween - although I am yet to test this out! This fog machine wouldn't be powerful enough to use in medium/larger sized venues but work perfectly in smaller venues such as school and church halls. The remote has a magnetic back meaning that it can be stuck onto the metal body of the fog machine during transport or storage. The plastic fluid cap can be a bit difficult to screw on however once it is on it stays on.

Absolutely brilliant. I use this in my photographic studio and my son 'borrows' it for stage use.
Good length of cable for the footswitch, quick warm up time.
Highly recommend for for small sets.
The quality is pretty good for a budget priced product, and the handle is very good.

Compact

This fog machine is really small and quite light but has enough power for a small to mid-size room and a (very simple) wired remote. Not bad!

I have bought this fog machine to use at small private parties. It does its job well, but has a few flaws.
Pros:
Small
Lightwight
Produces reasonable amount of smoke
Cons:
might make your PA system crack and pop if powered into the same power outlet.
