I'm so glad someone posted a video on a fog machine from Walmart since no one has and I've been wanting to buy one, just didn't know where I should. Thanks for it!
Might not have seen the video because people buy it Walmart so they don’t know what it is. It’s actually made by Gemmy, the same folks who make the inflatables. There are videos about Gemmy foggers, but if you don’t know this is a Gemmy, you wouldn’t know what to look for.
When I first got mine, I was testing it in the backyard and my neighbor ran over. He saw it and said, “Oh you bought a smoke machine. I thought y’all was having a house fire!” Lol
@@charlesmayer7097 you pipe the fog from the machine into a plastic storage container , then you add ice to it then pipe it out to wherever you want. It lingers and gives a spooky effect.
My only complaint with mine is that it doesn't have a timer function. So if you're using the fogger to create low-lying fog for an outdoor Halloween display (protected from weather of course), you have to keep going outside every few minutes to click the remote to have it go off again. That got very tiresome after hours.
yeah I would prefer a timer too, probably because people would leave running and run out of fluid and burn up the motor. You might be able to tape down the button
I was considering buying one of these as an additional helper machine. I didn't because I was worried that it didn't seem to have a timer function. It's gratifying to finally know that they don't. Glad I didn't waste the money, and glad you showed what to expect from em.
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse that's good to know! I was planning on buying one but now I probably won't cause I live in an apartment and don't want the fire department coming because of it haha!
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse that is unfortunate :( I bought fun colored lights for my apartment and thought a fog machine would add the the euphoria of it all LOL but I guess I will have to pass on the fog machine it's too bad :( but I do really appreciate knowing that it will do that money saved and also I'm saved from making my neighbors and the fire department angry! lol thank you very much for this video! :)
@@AN-zz8ps I ran into the same problem in my apartment. Cover your smoke detectors with a garbage bag and some tape, looks ghetto but it'll keep them from going off!
I have the same, Gemmy fog unit. I’ve used it for 3 years for an annual Halloween party. This one works fine. It’s all you’re need for inside any where smaller than a warehouse. You can easily fog the place so much that you cannot see 5 feet in front of you. During our 3rd annual Halloween party last night, the remote died. Trying to figure out a replacement remote for it.
I bought one just to see...its a smoker I guess you cld say but made a cheep chiller out of a old dryer vent a 4 dollar plastic tub an some ice...huge difference!!!!
I watched only up to the 4 minute mark, tested mine and all my smoke alarms went off. I should’ve kept going to the 5 minute mark to realize that would happen lol. Great video, I have the same machine and your testing helped me!
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse they both seem to be about the same honestly. The one I have has built in led lights on the nozzle. So for an extra $6 I think its worth it. Oh and it cant be hung though
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse I tested the fog machine it covered most of it but probably will get one more to make sure hope they still have more once I buy one thing the rest sells like fast
Question, does it go on and off on its own? Or do I have to press the button on the remote for it to go on every time? It’s my first fog machine and don’t know much.
Convert it to low laying fog, by placing the end in a corrugated drain pipe and placing some frozen water bottles inside of the pipe. Place a rag at the end of the pipe, to prevent water from dripping onto the floor. Or unplug the fire alarm.
I bought this same one in 2020, and it's a great fog machine, but there's no way to add a timer to it. I'm an electrician and opened my machine up and tried wiring it in in every way I could think of with no success.
unfortunately no, there are so many types. Oil based, waters based, different types of haze fluid. But as of walmart, walmart sells regular fog fluid for basic fog machines.
I have a arena haze machine and I put haze fluid in it and it was just spitting out liquid. I researched and found they right type of haze fluid and then it worked perfect
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse So how would I know what type of fluid I would need? Because I also got my fog machine at Walmart but it’s smaller and grey and I’m using the same fog juice as u were using in the video
Probably not, when u add stuff they could mess up, but it is a cheap fog machine. There is a company called froggys fog and they sell fog fluid and scents for your fog, maybe they have colors
idk if you can get colored fog but you could buy colored lightbulbs and then use the fog with those I have colored lightbulbs in my house and there super neat especially the purple black light one but I also have green and red which are cool and pink, orange and blue you can buy them for pretty cheap on amazon
I live in a Bible Belt and I have a 5’x4x satanic flag that I’ll be putting up, plus more things coming. I’ll keep you guys posted and thanks because I couldn’t figure out how to work this damn fog machine, I ordered an Italian death mask and a robe to go with it, check out the band batushka and that’s the type of robe, after Halloween this stuff will all be used year round in my mancave I’m still working on it it will have a full bar, Debating putting the Bose system in there
they will be coming back to Walmart in September for their Halloween section. They also sell one that shoots fog vertical with LED lights. We have that fogger video on our channel as well so u can compare
No problem. Thanks for posting this video. Me and my business partner shoot short horror reels and we got this machine. When it first sprayed I freaked out and unplugged it. But after seeing this I see it's the regular cycle. The way we use it is just pushing the button on the machine whenever we need a little smoke.
I love it my whole town probably thinks I’m fd with how I decorated it. It was last minute and the last one left, nvm my mancave is hell themed. So it will be good year round
I have more stuff coming right now my house is already the best in town. I’m debating hanging the satanic flag because the Bible Belt but I have a skeleton on the second floor with a ouija board and 2 huge used pillar candles
I'm so glad someone posted a video on a fog machine from Walmart since no one has and I've been wanting to buy one, just didn't know where I should. Thanks for it!

I just bought one also

Yeah I think it's pretty good considering it made the house look like it was on fire
Then it did its job
When I first got mine, I was testing it in the backyard and my neighbor ran over. He saw it and said, “Oh you bought a smoke machine. I thought y’all was having a house fire!” Lol
It takes like 5-7minutes to warm up. I did the ice bucket to cool the fog and it doubled the output and it kept the fog around longer.
thats good news
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse I’m definitely buying a second unit to keep switching from one to the other. Definitely worth it.
@imonaroll9502 Can you please explain how you did the cooler trick? Thanks!
@@charlesmayer7097 you pipe the fog from the machine into a plastic storage container , then you add ice to it then pipe it out to wherever you want. It lingers and gives a spooky effect.
I decided to hookup 3 old ones i had from 4 years ago outside and it accidentally made the highway foggy..... but they work good
that's good news
Halloween season is around the corner, I will definitely be picking up a few of these. Awesome video!!!
thank you, glad the video helped, these are cheap affordable foggers
Thanks bro. I was hoping I would find a review before I bought it.✌🏽

Thats alot of fog I was scared for my life hahaha
you thought you were in the movie "The Fog"??? lol
Cheap fog machine from Walmart cost of it less than 60 dollars setting off smoke alarms and fire alarms in buildings with it cost of it priceless
unfortunately they set off smoke detectors
I literally did that without even think about it 😂
Great review. Thanks for posting. How long does the fog liquid last?
it can go pretty fast
I bought one just to see...its a smoker I guess you cld say but made a cheep chiller out of a old dryer vent a 4 dollar plastic tub an some ice...huge difference!!!!
Yeah good idea to keep the fog low
Mine started smelling like it was burning after I hooked it up I started backing up from it until I watched this video 😂😂😂
they will have a burning smell because it is burning a type of oil. Don't touch the nozzle, that would burn bad
If you add a hose to it, it will come out much thicker. i got 1 at spirit Halloween and it made it SO much bettter
adding a hose or PVC pipe makes it thicker and last longer and or stay unless windy
Does it come with the fog liquid? Also what fog liquid is best for a small room with a fire alarm?
it doesn't come with fluid and unfortunately they don't have any that won't set off an alarm
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse ok thank you so much
I watched only up to the 4 minute mark, tested mine and all my smoke alarms went off.
I should’ve kept going to the 5 minute mark to realize that would happen lol. Great video, I have the same machine and your testing helped me!
lol, I understand. I don't like watching long videos either. Glad it helped you out
I just bought a bigger one from walmart. $35 has the hands on the sides aswell. But my fog pumps from the top while the lights are in the front
how is it? is it better?
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse they both seem to be about the same honestly. The one I have has built in led lights on the nozzle. So for an extra $6 I think its worth it. Oh and it cant be hung though
@@AceHole90 the leds look good because it gives the fog color, probably the only add on difference
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse I agree lol my daughter an are fellow pumpkin heads so we love it non the less. It's only 400 watts
How long does the juice at full capacity make the machine produce fog for at a time?
I got one from spirit halloween, $40, 400w, and doesn't do nearly this good for half the price, my Walmart only had the juice, no machine lmao
That's why I wanted to test the walmart one out. Now our walmart just has the fluid only too
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse our local has like 9 I got one ☝️ but not sure if it’s enough for my lawn it’s my first time
@@halloweencreator9726 I would test the one out now to see if you need more or not
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse I tested the fog machine it covered most of it but probably will get one more to make sure hope they still have more once I buy one thing the rest sells like fast
@@halloweencreator9726 that's a good idea
Cool but how do I use my remote? I keep pressing the button but it won't work. The batteries are good. Red light just blinks once....
im not sure, alot of people are having that issue of them not linking up
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse anyway to link it up? Or am I just sol? Lol
Question, does it go on and off on its own? Or do I have to press the button on the remote for it to go on every time? It’s my first fog machine and don’t know much.
this fog machine you have to push button. they do make foggers with timers
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse guess I’m returning this one then. I would want one that goes on and off on its own.
Any advice on keeping from the fire alarm going off?
Unfortunately not. I wish I could help

that's unfortunate. Best way is to probably plug the power to a timer and then tape down the button. Only issue is fog machine warm up
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse yeah, I just ended up taping the button down last year, but i'm not sure how long the tape lasted.
I tried that to and no success I could get the lights on timer to work but no fog control
now make a chiller for it and you will have nice low lying fog
I plan to try this one, wish me luck :) ua-cam.com/video/ku1fBghJF84/v-deo.html
yeah Im going to have to try that out
How would you make a chiller ?
@@merryannehodges4123 many vids on how to make them .
Are there different types of fog liquid for this machine? Does it matter
the only different types of fog fluid is for the more expensive foggers
there's differnt types like if your using haze, but these forgers just use basic fog fluid
Does any fog fluid work for any dog machine or do u need specific fog juice?
unfortunately no, there are so many types. Oil based, waters based, different types of haze fluid. But as of walmart, walmart sells regular fog fluid for basic fog machines.

@@carlogarcia209 then just basic fog fluid, if you have a guitar center near you they would have some fluid probably American DJ brand
@@carlogarcia209 then for buying online, Musicians Friend or Froggy Fog Fluid
Do you think you could create colored fog with these with dye or something, not a light?
Probably not, when u add stuff they could mess up, but it is a cheap fog machine. There is a company called froggys fog and they sell fog fluid and scents for your fog, maybe they have colors
idk if you can get colored fog but you could buy colored lightbulbs and then use the fog with those I have colored lightbulbs in my house and there super neat especially the purple black light one but I also have green and red which are cool and pink, orange and blue you can buy them for pretty cheap on amazon
Anyone know if the basic juice works on diy chiller
so many different types of fog fluid, the company that would know if froggy fog www.froggysfog.com/
i was looking at the spirit halloween store!.
the Spirit ones are probably more powerfull, but if you want better I would go to a DJ / guitar store
Where can I get led light?
they have them in the holiday departments at Walmart, Home Depot and Lowes
Hey, does anyone knows how the remote control works? It is not working in my machine and I have no idea what is going on.
i think you have to let the machine warm up first
warm up and or maybe clean with 50 50 distilled water and distilled vinegar
I hath a 1000 wot fog machine and it was so cool and git fog wrks for the fog machine
yeah 1000 watt will perform better
Will it work without the remote control?
you would have to press and hold the button on the machine. It dosent have a timer
I don't have a remote control for it. Would taping the button down burn the motor with juice in it?@darkdimensionshauntedhouse
They are only 14 dollars now. I'm having trouble dispersing the fog
14 is a really good deal, you can run through PVC pipe and put holes or split the PVC lines
Did you get that green light at Walmart as well ?
No, I bought at Spirit Halloween a few years ago.
Could have skipped the warm-up part
I know that's boring, but I wanted to show how long it takes for warmup
Where did you get that green light???
I bought at Spirit Halloween a few years back
Maybe I’m doing something wrong.. but my fog machine refuses to do anything past the point of the green light going on.. do you recommend anything?
I would just return it or exchange it. Once the green light turns on it should fog once you hold down button on machine or remote
@@darkdimensionshauntedhouse ok! Thank you!!
