Eliminator Lighting Fog Machine, one Size (EF-1000)

This thing works! It makes all your dance floor lights provide a second layer of a light show. The beams of light are exposed in the fog. The fog is so thick that I could control the fog. I can keep the fog low or I can fill a room, all depends on how you aim the machine. Very cool. Hardly uses any fog juice, It took us forever to use 1 tank fill ~1/8th of a gallon. And it still has some left over. A must have for any dance floor.

Works well. As expected it takes about 3-4 minutes to warm up and after that it makes fog. Only two negatives, one is that it did not produce fog for as long as we expected - to cover the 4500 cu ft it specs out would require two run times (it will run until the heater element cools down, then waits for it to reheat again before producing more fog). I expected slightly better coverage than that - it covered approximately 2000 sq ft of my house before needing to recharge. Hard to judge the cu ft however so this may just be me. The other negative, which is not the fault of the product, is that you need to realize that fog created from this (and I'm sure any other machine) will rise in the air. It is, after all, heated liquid and so will tend to rise. We had our smoke detector system and central station alarm go off over and over again for 15 minutes and had to clear it all out by opening windows. To avoid this you have to make (or buy) a fog chiller - relatively easy and cheap to do, many instructions on the web tell you how to do so. I made one for our second run and had perfect ground hugging fog. As a bonus the fog was chilly cool and gave you that "spooky chilly" effect alluded to in ghost stories.

First one leaked and stopped working shortly after receiving the item. Amazon immediately sent another one. Produces good amount of fog. Invest in "CODE RED" fog fluid for dense fog results.

I previously owned the Eliminator Fog It 700 before I got this product. Moving up from a 700 watt to a 1000 watt heater had an obvious difference. This 1000 watt fog machine lets me hold onto the button that emits fog way longer. The 700 version, I could hold the fog for sometimes 30 seconds or 15 seconds before it would stop emitting fog so it could heat up some more. This model I only have to hold it for about 15 to 30 seconds because it puts out so much more fog quicker! Also I feel that I could hold that button for longer before it needs to heat up more fog juice.

Worked well, my Halloween graveyard had fog. Do not store with the liquid in it!!!! Yes the instructions told me not to do that and yes I did it anyway; It will leak out get everywhere. Definitely my own fault though. A little fog juice went a long way.

This was my second attempt to purchase a fog machine, and while the first leaked horribly on the first try this one is working like a champion. This is a better quality machine than the 700w I purchased that leaked horribly, and it emitted quite a bit of fog. The only downside to this machine is that you have to hold the button to get it to emit the fog. While this will not be an issue for me, it might be to some who do not want to stand around the machine all night. I will definitely be looking into a remote for this device to make it a five star machine. Oct 31, the day this machine was meant for. The machine did not work, tried using the machine packed with the machine, a separate remote with a timer, and still no go. This machine had great reviews and yet when I needed this machine the most it failed. I do not know what it is with expensive fog machines, but I am sticking with the one bought from Target and given to me by a friend.

I used this last year and it worked great. This year it worked a little and then stopped. The heater gets hot and the pump hums but no fog. Don't know what happened but I assume the pump is bad/ plugged or what ever. I have had several fog machines over the years and they typically don't work the second time around. I would suggest buy the cheapest one use it once and toss it. All diggers should come with detailed cleaning and storage instructions. This one did not

I got this for a halloween set up. I expected more output from a 1,000 watt system. FYI you half to hold down the button on the remote to have the machine work (spring loaded). Instead of sitting there holding the switch down all night I just used a "C" clamp to do the holding for me. The product did work I just need to tweak the setup.
