5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Little Machine, September 10, 2008

This fog machine is good for a small production or party use. I used it to simulate a volcano eruption with excellent effect. Here are some of the answers to questions I had before I bought the machine. Hope this will help you:

1. The size of the machine is 8.5" x 6" x 6"

2. There is a bottle in the back where you pour the fog juice in

3. On the right side, there is a slot, so you can see the level of the liquid

4. On the left side, on top is the plug in for the remote control; below that is the fuse; and on the bottom is the power cable.

5. The power cable is 6' long

6. The remote control has a 10' long cable. On the remote control, there is a light on top with an on/off switch on the bottom.

7. According to the specs, the container in the fog machine can hold 1 pint of juice.

8. To create fog, fill the tank with juice, plug in the machine, in about 4 minutes the light on the remote control will light up, signaling the machine is hot enough to use. Press and hold the spring loaded on/off switch will release fog from the nozzle.

9. When the juice is heated up, you can release 40 seconds of fog before it need to reheat the element again, which takes about 3 minutes.

10. I have filled half the tank with juice, it lasted me for a good hour of use.

Note: Some people complained that this machine plugged up after couple of use. Try this: dump out the juice and fill it with water. Heat up the machine again and press the button until steam comes out. This will clean the nozzle of juice and it will be ready for the next use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice for the size and price, February 14, 2009

Dont use the cheap fog liquid as it smells bad and gums up the system if you leave it in too long.

I got this last year for a small party and had the smoke alarm going off in my basement within seconds. This beast puts out lots of fog and does a nice job.

It does get hot and drips at the front if you spray for too long but it does do what it's supposed to. Also note that the cap on the machine doesn't seal well and will drip if you angle the unit too much.

Keep it away from walls and floors as the oil will collect on them and leave you with a mess to clean up later. It's best on a stand 3-4 feet off the ground.

Overall build quality is very nice. Metal case, compact, nice bracket, lighted remote telling you when it's ready.

The threads on the tank are plastic as is the cap and can be damaged if you cross thread which is quite easy...

4.0 out of 5 stars A great prop for a school play!, July 1, 2007

I got this fog machine to donate to my son's school play. The machine did exactly as expected, making lots to fog for the light to shine through in a beautiful and mysterious way. A couple of times during the performances, the "ready" light went off on the remote control just before the fog was needed, but the machine delivered anyway. I think this will be used again, for plays and dances. The kids love it!
