Stairville AF-150 DMX Fog Machine Reviews

Good machine

Only concern is that the handset runs via 5 pin xlr, which can be confused with dmx. Otherwise an excellent machine.

Great value for money!

Works great. The ability to set a timer and the amount + intensity of fog allows me to just turn it on at the start of an event and let it do its thing. A full tank can easily last an entire night in small- and medium-sized spaces.

I have to note that the machine is twice as big as the previous party fogger I had, so it's not as portable as some of the cheaper options, but it's a good trade-off when it comes to power, configurability, and capacity.

Great

Fills any room in seconds with Stairville E-HD Fluid. Great output and is very efficient with the fluid. Really fun to hold by the handle and use it like a flamethower. Makes any lighting way more impressive.

Brilliant

We have a 3 by 5 metre studio and it fills up with smoke in matter of seconds. We have it running using DMX which works really well, tucked away in the back of the room. For anyone with a small to medium-sized venue, this will work wonders!!

We love it

It's great! Doesnt heat too much and the amount of fog per shot is awesome. Filling a room completely in few seconds. Great product for medium/large rooms.

Amazing produce for the price

I was unsure about this product to start with, for its price to be a DMX fog machine I was wary. Turns out that it is very powerful! I now own two for outside events. I have not found an inside venue yet that is too big for this little machine!

It takes a long time to use all of the fluid up, and covers a great distance!

Need fog? This beast has you covered.

This thing will smoke you out of house and home! It's great! If you set this to maximum, it will fill a small club with no problem. Also, it cools down rather quickly.

Nice and good amount of fog

Great fog output with limitations

The unit has a remarkable fog output for the price, the remote contol is a great feature for setting the time and volume of fog.

Unfortunately the unit broke down after only 6 months of use and it's now waiting to be shipped to be repaired. I don't know if this is a general bad point or if it's just this unit that is defective.

Great smoker for a great price!

I would highly recommend buying this on if you are looking for a solid, affordable and great fog machine. It looks very professional, even though the good price. It warms up fast, and pours out a good amount of smoke. With the awesome controller that you get with it, you can even control how much fog you want it to pour out. There is also a timer on the controller, so you can set the machine to pour out smoke on interval. All in all: A great machine for that price, really, I'm blown!

Great!!

Used in small/ medium sized pubs. Very happy with purchase easily fills rooms in a short amount of time. Great effect to add to your rig if using led effects or lasers. 5 minutes heat up time, which isn't too bad. Honestly couldn't ask for more for that price. Would recommend to anyone:)

cracking little unit

really pumps the stuff out, great fun

Great fog machine large output

This produces great fog and is quite economic with the liquid. Only disadvantage is that the controller does not really regulate the flow.

increasing the timer increases BOTH the time it puts out smoke as the time it is standby, so basically you cannot control the amount of fog. its just the length of both that changes. This is the only downside that it is way too much smoke on timer function.

The instructions say that it puts out smoke for 3 seconds and the delay sets the time between intervals but in reality it regulates both delay and output.

Great

Great amount of fog thats emitted from the machine fantastic for indoor and outdoor shows

So good I'm going to buy another.

The best smoke machine in this price category. Yes you can buy smoke machines for several hundred pounds and you can get ones that think they're disco lights but at the end if the day if you want a smoke machine that will fill up a room, that is dmx compatible, that doesn't leak then all you need is this one. It uses very little fluid and all in all a very good quality budget smoke machine. Buy one. You won't be disappointed.

Perfect small venue solution

Having experimented with a few devices in our venue, the Stairville AF150 has definitely emerged as my favourite.

Our room is around 180 capacity, running both live shows and clubs. This machine is more than adaptable enough in terms of spread and power to cater for the creepiest Black Metal band right on to the cheesiest clubnight.

The timer and volume dials on the remote could perhaps do with numbers/increments so you can note down your settings, but once you get used to them they are extremely functional and convenient.

All in all, would definitely recommend as a simple, reliable solution for any small venue or club room.

Very powerful

Very powerful fog machine with large amounts of fog for a great price

Good all rounder

Upon using the Stairville AF-150 DMX Fog machine I have found, for its price range to be a very comprehensive unit, the control is slightly different to the SF-1000, the layout is much the same however the Red button instead of activating the heatig unit it actually turns the unit on at a constatn, almost acting like a haze machine, was a nice extra feature I wasn't expecting. The Fog machine is somewhat loud in comparrison to other Stairville units I own but fow where it is going to be used (Loud environments) it doesn't pose an issue. An extra little nice touch is the cool blue illumination of the fluid tank area

Overall a very comprehensive unit and great value
