This is no doubt one of the most newbie reviews I’ve ever seen on UA-cam, but it STILL helped me decide to buy one!👍🏻 9 years later!👍🏻👍🏻 Got mine at Walmart for $29 and the solution was $10/jug (jugs are 64oz.) This thing spits out mad amounts of smoke. It’s made by Intertek (for anyone who needs to know). BTW, make sure you buy the solution made for this smoker. Not all solutions are made equally. Some have a lower boiling point, some higher. You need the right one to avoid health problems or messes. This fog machine is 400 watts.
Because the cord on these things is very tight, especially when it is below 0 out. It pulls enough to yank the control out of your hand, especially when you're busy filming with the other.
all you have to do is take it out of the packaging plug in your controller and add some fog juice. turn it on and wait for it to heat up, in this model the light on the controller turns on, then you just press the button to release the fog and let it heat up again. don't run it for too long without releasing the fog, like maybe 10-15 minutes maximum, also dont run it without fog liquid you have the chance of overheating it.
WOW !!!! I just got one of these a couple of weeks ago - for $10 at a thrift store - BRAND NEW - NEVER BEEN USED and still sealed and wrapped in the box - I only have to get some liquid for it now. THANKS FOR SHARING.
I have the same machine and I am happy with it but today, just the day before Halloween, for some reason the machine doesn't react to the remote anymore. I have changed the batteries of the remote and still it doesn't work. It is a shame as I put the smoke machine high above the ground and made a fog curtain by connecting it to a pierced pipe. Now I can only using it by pressing the manual switch so had to give up the fog curtain idea and bring it back on the ground level. Any idea on what is going on with it?
HAH! I vaguely remember leaving these comments. Pretty sure that fogger ended up in a storage bin that flooded during a storm. But, like a 2001 Toyota Corolla, I'd bet it would still have some life in it to this day.
Something that should be mentioned is that it will set off smoke detectors and many fire departments will bill you for a call out so be sure that your alarm system is not an auto call to the fire dept. or alarm company. ie apartment buildings, schools and public halls are all auto call.
@KingofComputing I've had it for 2 years now I got it on clearance at Wal-mart for $9.95 for the after halloween sale and I never really used it until now.
Press the hold botton for 4-6 MINUTE as it warm-up then the light turns green and turns on use the remote to turn on and off or you can also shut off by hand.
Wow, you shouldn't feel like your in Canada. I'm in Canada, and contrary to popular belief, it does not snow here year round. It gets extremely hot in the summer, sometimes up to 40 degrees celcius, or 104 degrees farenheight. It is currently the 30th of October, and we do not have any snow, or have even had snow.
I got mine for $14 new at walmart, they have around 10 units, I should have bought more. Watching the smoke pouring out of the garage after opening the garage door was a nightly thing here, we didn't have a fog machine then.
I liked the way the fog was sucked out of the garage, it looked spooky and ghostly, shame you couldn't get that effect normally. It would look great for a Halloween display
I find it really funny that I have "The Fog Machine" and I lost the remote for it. I don't have the plug on the back that you have, so I can't get any kind of replacement remote. Am I the only one with this problem???
@kablary And, believe it or not, has outlasted a 2008 700-watt Elation fogger, which is priced at around $100. I paid 1/4 the price for the other. I own 6 fog machines - "TFM" is the most reliable. BUY ONE!
That's a Gemmy fog machine. I have one. the fog juice they sell for it at Wal-Mart during Halloween works great. I even used it in fog chillers. Very thick and cloudy wwhite. Otherwise Froggy's Fog Juice s the best but expensive. Just google it : )
btw it didnt snow till early december here in ottawa canada you would be supprized of the things the us thinks about canada that are just funny as funk
Based on this video I am definitely buying one of these fog machines. Thanks for posting this. By the way if you were only 15 when you made this you were a very together 15 year old. Great work!
Do me a favor please, look at the date this video was published, Listen to my voice and realize that i was like 15. Then i'd like you to do me another favor. Stop acting like you know it all. It's youtube. I don't give two shits about the production value of a quick review as long as it gets the point across. I'm a Video Audio Production Major and have been using Final Cut Pro for two years before this. I used iMovie for this because again IT"S UA-cam. And i own a $300 tripod for the record.
Thanks for giving your time to make this review. I googled this while in the store to make sure it was sufficient for a prop I'm building. Could not help but to notice there are several germs making moron comments on here. This is a good thing, these maggots serve as an example of how trashy people can become when they fail to evolve their values and integrity.
@KingofComputing you obviously don't know what a typo is and just proves my point. If your trying to burn me, your doing a terrible job at it, and the typo was trash.
Heh KingofComputing... even though your pops is a master electrician... the National Electrical Code doesn't actually specify which way is up/down... it is the choice of the electrician :) Just FYI... Mind you... maybe in your community they have a bylaw or something... but definately not the norm :)
@KingofComputing lol we at one time had a "new" car and a nova and a s10 but all we got in there now is an s10 that my brother is working on ....... it will never be fixed

Good review
Thanks!
@kablary Correction - it was Eliminator, not Elation.
@KingofComputing im sorry but i dont have any idea where you can get thicker liquid in the US
I've had my "The Fog Machine" since 2004 or 2005...needless to say, it's STILL working after several years!
Does it still work 13 years later?
HAH! I vaguely remember leaving these comments. Pretty sure that fogger ended up in a storage bin that flooded during a storm. But, like a 2001 Toyota Corolla, I'd bet it would still have some life in it to this day.
@KingofComputing No it is not DMX compatible, The Chauvet Hurricane Flex 1800 is however.
Always wonder, is there a smell to these at all? I might get one for my multiple lasers to enhance the beams...
never mind, you said it at the end. but if you tell me from experience how long one bottle last, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
I found the exact same machine at a thrift store today, however the remote control cord is missing. Can still have it work without it? Thanks!
Carlos MO no I don’t think it will work without the remote
@@KingofComputing Thanks much!
Do you know if this is DMX compatible?
How you clean this mashine. I have same one but its cloged
How long does it take between charges? How long does it take to consumer full tank
What's the name of the background music? Thanks.
I till have my fog machine from 2003, and it still works pretty good, just used it last night. they can even set off smoke alarms
Something that should be mentioned is that it will set off smoke detectors and many fire departments will bill you for a call out so be sure that your alarm system is not an auto call to the fire dept. or alarm company. ie apartment buildings, schools and public halls are all auto call.
I have one and it is amazing. I recommend putting a hose on it and it flows very thick
Does it smell like candy like fog machines at haunted attractions?
@KingofComputing I've had it for 2 years now I got it on clearance at Wal-mart for $9.95 for the after halloween sale and I never really used it until now.
were did u get it???????????
does it stay on constantly for as long as you hold down the switch, or does it do a burst of fog for a few seconds at different intervals?
Press the hold botton for 4-6 MINUTE as it warm-up then the light turns green and turns on use the remote to turn on and off or you can also shut off by hand.
@KingofComputing Ya, that makes more sense :P. I live in Ottawa.

Hi I have the same smoke machine but I lost my remote were can I buy another one
how long would this fog machine last with the 1/3 quart fog juice?
Probably 2hrs
I got mine for $14 new at walmart, they have around 10 units, I should have bought more. Watching the smoke pouring out of the garage after opening the garage door was a nightly thing here, we didn't have a fog machine then.
I liked the way the fog was sucked out of the garage, it looked spooky and ghostly, shame you couldn't get that effect normally. It would look great for a Halloween display
hey, where could i get it at? or where did you get yours at?
I have a fog machine, they are fun I like to fill the whole house with smoke, what would happen if you put in plain water?
It will damage the machine I wo uldnt recommend it.
how much does the liquid cost? and how long does it last?
9.97 for a 64 oz bottle at Wal-Mart and for how long depends on how much you use it.
do fog machines have negative effects on wood?
It will have residue of not ventilated.
I have 4 of these, I always end up having to fix it like every year
How you clean it
Is there something wrong with my fogger because it hardly makes that much fog and it disipates immediatly.
Need cleaning with destiled winager
how long does the machine lasts for?
I Got One
does the fog machine come with the fuel?
No you have to buy them separate a 64 do oz 1.9L bottle is 9.97
Where did you get for 25$?
How many watts are in that thing dang! 😀
120 volts 60hz 400 watts for input power fuse type 125 volts 4 amps
Do you need the controller ¿?
@deathbybulletsmg42 it is not DMX compatible, but it's still a pretty good deal for the price. Although DMX would be nice.
@KingofComputing Thanks!
LOL I got the same one about three years ago and still mess with people when they are taking a shower.... Make the smoke go under the door :)
I have this model in black, I bought it about 10 years ago, works great and takes a lot of abuse.
4:15
Does the smoke smells?
No
I'm from Canada...October is pretty early for snow
"i feel like im in freaking Canada"
from a canadian, get a life bro.
I find it really funny that I have "The Fog Machine" and I lost the remote for it. I don't have the plug on the back that you have, so I can't get any kind of replacement remote. Am I the only one with this problem???
Can I use only pure water?
No it will damage the dog machine
No
this song is the windows setup music, its very soothing haha
@kablary And, believe it or not, has outlasted a 2008 700-watt Elation fogger, which is priced at around $100. I paid 1/4 the price for the other.
I own 6 fog machines - "TFM" is the most reliable. BUY ONE!
My fog machine's instruction manual was in Chinese and Spanish only! I don't speak or read either
That's a Gemmy fog machine. I have one. the fog juice they sell for it at Wal-Mart during Halloween works great. I even used it in fog chillers. Very thick and cloudy wwhite. Otherwise Froggy's Fog Juice s the best but expensive. Just google it : )

I got mine yesterday! I just didn't get the solution yet.
Do me a favor please, look at the date this video was published, Listen to my voice and realize that i was like 15. Then i'd like you to do me another favor. Stop acting like you know it all.

I have to disagree. I've gone through three of these things, and the problem was the same each and every time - the pump burns out and stops working.
I just got one really fogs the place out more than I expected
Sweet, I hope I can find a fog machine this nice
@KingofComputing when you dropped the remote lol
Thanks for giving your time to make this review. I googled this while in the store to make sure it was sufficient for a prop I'm building. Could not help but to notice there are several germs making moron comments on here. This is a good thing, these maggots serve as an example of how trashy people can become when they fail to evolve their values and integrity.
is this safe for snakes?
Yes it totally harmless to pets and children
every year i have people stop cuz they think my house is on fire from this thing its worth the $25
Spirit Halloween, get the timer, it works great!
I wouldn't tell anyone I was a production major??? You may not be able to get a J O B!!!
we actually used this at our haunted house but it wasnt enough
My brother just gave me one.
It's very weird.
really people the density is mainly caused by the juice and the hang time has nothing to do with the fog machine its the juice
@KingofComputing you obviously don't know what a typo is and just proves my point. If your trying to burn me, your doing a terrible job at it, and the typo was trash.
Get a 1000 watt fog machine
I have this exact same one. Its really good
I can hear Windows XP installation sound melody in background! :) This is same melody!! :)
300 dollar tripod?
Heh KingofComputing... even though your pops is a master electrician... the National Electrical Code doesn't actually specify which way is up/down... it is the choice of the electrician :) Just FYI...
Mind you... maybe in your community they have a bylaw or something... but definately not the norm :)
@KingofComputing lol we at one time had a "new" car and a nova and a s10 but all we got in there now is an s10 that my brother is working on ....... it will never be fixed
Target sells it.
I have one if I didn't I wouldn't be able to type on my keyboard.
Ikr i live in canada
My fog machine will spray continuous for 2-3 min
it dosent seem to blow much fog in one charge unless u stoped it lol
It only blows in short burst
windows xp first startup music
@matthew7722 what??

Froggy's Fog FTW!!
