Fog Machine JDR Mini 500W Smoke Machine with Auto Mode and Wireless Remote Control Portable Fogger for Outdoor, Parties, Stage Effect, Indoor, Disco, Halloween, Disinfection or Weddings 2500CFM|FM-3

Just the size I needed to create a fog curtain on my porch

The media could not be loaded. I just unboxed the JDR Mini 500w Fog Machine, and I’m already impressed with how easy it was to assemble. The warm-up time was only about 4 minutes, and it even came with a cute little remote that will be super handy as I monitor my roller rink during events. The machine is light weight and seems to be durable.The fog liquid wasn’t included, but I was able to snag a great deal on a quart size during the Cyber Monday sale, so I’m all set to test it out. There is no smell to the fog liquid. I can’t wait to use it for our upcoming “Winter in Paradise” event! Its compact size and portability will make setup a breeze, and I’m confident it’ll create the perfect festive atmosphere.Looking forward to seeing it in action soon—so far, it feels like a fantastic purchase!

The media could not be loaded. Originally rated 3 stars as it produced very little smoke when I had an outlet pipe fitted directly onto the machine's outlet hub. I found though once I added a little 1/2-inch gap between the outlet and my piping, the output was dramatically better.The reservoir only holds about 1/2-hour supply of juice but you can put the juice hose directly into a jug instead of the reservoir for much longer use.I was also pleasantly surprised at how quiet this unit is. Overall it's a great unit for the money.

My family and I absolutely love this smoke machine! We recently bought it to enhance our Halloween graveyard display in the backyard, and it didn’t disappoint. Instead of purchasing fog juice, we decided to make our own mix using propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, and the machine worked perfectly with this thicker liquid. The smoke output is impressive for such a compact device, and it heats up quickly—usually within 50-80 seconds. It runs for about 45 seconds at a time, delivering a great effect. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to create an atmospheric touch for events or decorations!

This fog machine, while small, really cranks out the fog. As a result, you will use more fog liquid, so keep that in mind. This unit can disperse fog quickly and fill a large size room in no time. I was amazed at the amount and quality of the fog. The unit comes with an antenna remote, which is convenient, instead of having to walk up to the unit and hit a button, like some of the older models out there. This unit is of good quality for a fair price.

Got this for Halloween. It's ok. It puts out a fairly thin smoke. It doesn't really form a fog. It's fairly loud when it's running, and it runs in spurts. It would probably be better to have 2 of these running up high, but I'm not sure how you'd go about refilling them then. It seems to run for around an hour on a full tank.

Produces quite a dense fog and doesn't use too much fog juice to do so. I like the size of it, and the little remote that comes with it.Perfect for making a mysterious entrance, dance parties, halloween decorations. Perhaps an odd choice for an elegant afternoon tea party, but not if you have an abundance of imagination and passion for intrigue.

From first use it puts out smoke for about 15 seconds and then quits. I used the recommended high density fog liquid, I've followed instructions and tried multiple times and same result. Missed the return window by one day.
