JDRFog Machine Smoke Machine Controllable LED Light 500W and 2000CFM Fog Disinfection with Wireless and Wired Remote Control for Weddings, Halloween,Parties or Disinfection,with Fuse Protection

I bought this little smoke machine to allow us to really see the party lights we have. The wireless remote is handy and super simple. One button sprays the fog the other button stops it. The warm up time is 5 mins or less and I'm using fog work high density liquid and it works great. If you thinking about getting one of these I'd say this is a good choice..

Loved it for the three hours it worked. Then half way through the party it stopped. The green preheat light was on but the button didn’t make it smoke. I even unplugged it to see if it would reset: it heated up, the green light came on again, and still the button wouldn’t work. Returning it. Shame as I wanted to like it.

I ordered this for my kids for holidays and fun occasions and man it works well. I tested in my living room and a minute later the whole room was filled and my fire alarm was going off. So make sure you use this in a big open space with ventilation or outdoors. Cause it’s going to fill your room with fog fast.

Great deal firstly. I used different types of fog liquids and ran them no problemo, but you have to keep your eye on the machine and it seems to spit out the fog. And adjustable nozzle would be great. I would spend a little more on a better quality machine. If not this gets the job done to an extent.

-The back of unit says unit requires oil based fog fluid despite the Amazon listing saying required water-based fog fluid. After putting the oil-based fog fluid into the unit it literally ruined my carpet.-Unit passes full mains voltage through the heating elements even when the power switch in the back is off. Due to a design flaw, this caused my hand to be electrocuted because the heating element wires were not well sealed and were sitting directly against the holes in the cover. BAD SAFETY DESIGN.The wired remote control has one button and the wireless has two. The wired one is a push once to turn fog stream on and then press again to discontinue. The wireless one requires you to press the unlock button to start and the lock button to stop. Nowhere is that written or displayed on the remote themselves.One of the deciding factors that I purchased this unit above all others is because the back of the unit said requires oil based fog fluid, which stays in the air longer and is generally better. I should expected it was improperly labeled. Generally I don't mind buying Chinese things like this on Amazon, but this pisses me off. My carpet is ruined (see photo).I'm going to buy some water based fluid to see if it at least doesn't stream burning fluid everywhere, otherwise I'm throwing this away and not buying from this company again.29AUG2023 UPDATE:After washing out fog container with water and running it through the machine to clean it out, I put water based fog fluid in it. The unit works properly now.Still some safety concerns:My non-contact AC detector was showing that the wired remote connected to the machine's 'DMX' was passing full AC voltage. The DMX standard calls for a max DMX pin cottage of +6 VDC per pin with 250 mA max current. My detector would not be blinking if it were a 6 volt DC signal. This means a faulty wire on the remote could potentially electrocute you with full mains AC power as well, so buyer beware. It ALSO means it could definitely short out a nice DMX controller if you tried connecting it instead of the supplied remote.As a standalone unit it is satisfactory provided:-You use water based fog fluid and NOT oil based for fluid like the rear plate text actually says-Take cover off and use heat shrink tubing to cover the blue heating element power wires to prevent electrocution.-Do not plug it in to a DMX controller, use either of the two supplied wired and wireless remotesIf you have the money, I recommend to get a Chauvet or another fog machine that is built with safety in mind.
