 Great deal Nov 21, 2009
By Raymond E. Mierta
"REM"
I have had two WalMart fog machines. They both worked reasonably well, for the price, but neither machine lasted longer than two years. I used them at home, not commercially. I was tired of dealing with the WM machines and did research on machines built by companies that specailze in fog machines for commercial use. This one fit for me. It was priced just slightly higher than the retail store machines shipping was free! It arived in about a week and it kicks but in the fog department. Puts out plenty of fog, is very quiet and the fog juice tank even lights up. I used it a few times over the last few weeks and I really like it. I had no problem totally filling my whole living room up with fog so thick I literally could not see through it. Good customer support from Chauvet as I called with a few questions. So we will see how long this one lasts but if you want an economical fog machine at a reasonable price this is a good one to look into.
Update 10-2011. I have had the machine for 3 years. I only use it a few times a year around Halloween so it doesn't get heavily used. I pulled it out of storage last night for the first time in a year and it still works fine! I can fill up a 1200sqft house with fog so thick you can't see through it. Most of the other reviews comment on outside performance. I agree, a bigger machine is needed. If you want to use this outside, you will be disappointed. It's not made for that. To get around the timmer issue, I just tape the "push" button down on the control that comes with it and it cycles on and off just fine. This is a capable and reliable machine. If and when it goes, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. Looks like it has even come down in price!

Low volume fog output Mar 21, 2010
By David Cunningham
We purchased this unit to manufacture smoke for a student show. It takes a few minutes to warm up before generating smoke. The smoke stops when you turn it off. We used flexible, plastic dryer hose to direct the smoke away from the machine (and where the operator was sitting).
Note that the effect works like fog, which hugs the ground and not like smoke from a chimney, which should rise. But this was acceptable for our purposes. We hope to use it again for future productions. But if it only worked the one time, it was worth the cost for the effect.

 Dead on arrival, manufacturer doesn't answer phone Oct 15, 2010
By Bill
This worked for a total of about 4 seconds, giving one good blast of fog, then nothing. I let it preheat, the Ready light comes on, I push the "Fog" button, and it makes noise but no fog.
The seller referred me to the manufacturer, but Chauvet does not answer their phone, even at mid-day on a business day; after a LONG wait they transfer you to voice mail where you can leave a message but they don't call you back.
Do not buy this expecting to get something that works!

More than enough! Feb 06, 2012
By C. Smock
I bought this for my basement party zone and was mildly concerned that it wouldn't be enough, but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. First tried it out in my living room and was able to get so much fog that I lost my friend across the room. My basement is about 25'x15' and this fogger produces more than enough fog. If you want a light haze to make lights and lasers look awesome, you can do it. Or if you feel like completely smoking out a room or two, you'll have no problem with this machine, either. The external remote is greatly appreciated as I can leave the fogger on the floor and place the remote elsewhere for easy use. For the price, I'm definitely satisfied. Hopefully it lasts a long time!

smokin! Nov 28, 2011
By Charles Gustavson
Love this little guy, I have a one care garage with my pool table, got some premium fog juice for it too. Works excellent with the right juice. Don't go cheap on the fluid. A little fog goes a long way with some cool lights.
