Stairville AF-40 Mini Fog Machine Reviews

Really pleased

This is a really great little machine. Produces lots of smoke that hangs around for long enough. Easy and economical to use.

Very good!

Very good product considering the price! The jets of fog are good but the covered distance is not so long...suitable for small events.

Little smoke monster!

Great and fast output. Lots of smoke coming out of this little monster! I'm using this machine in small space and for me is perfect but even for larger spaces this would be great.

very good fog machine

sufficient smoke production, ideal for small clubs and parties

Great for the price

The main issue is the amount of time taken to start-up on use and then "recharge" after a certain quantity of smoke has been expelled (maybe heating up?). It's handy to have, but often it meant I had to work around it, rather than with it (when shooting a shortfilm).

Works well for the price

For the price it does its job, ising it with the recommended fluids from the same brand and had no particular issues. Takes some time to get up to temperature but that's fine. Used in a small-medium studio for photo/video effects.

When I received it the fog was going all over the place and shooting at an angle, then I noticed the small tume inside the nozzle was bent. Straightened it with a pair of pliers and had no issues since. A bit weird, could not have happened in shipping, but it's working fine now so...

I know is not expensive at all.

Excellent little machine for small gigs or special fx. Good fog density.

AF40

Simple, good quailty and looks like it will last well.

Ideal

Good fog machine.

It's very nice, yes? Chenque

I have bought this fog machine to use at small private parties. It does its job well, but has a few flaws.

Pros:

Small

Lightwight

Produces reasonable amount of smoke

Cons:

might make your PA system crack and pop if powered into the same power outlet.

Loud

Great for outdoor parties

I bought this for one of our annual summer parties to add a bit of drama to the lights when the sun goes down. It's not suitable for a stage show, but good fun and works well enough for a small gathering. Don't expect a huge fog bank and you won't be disappointed. The reservoir holds enough for a reasonable amount of smoke. The trick is not to hold the footswitch down, but to add smoke in short bursts with a short rest in between each burst.

Awesome Machine for its size and price

Great and fast output. There is a bit of waiting time between active times and it might take a bit to first heat up but when it goes, it goes.

Does not use too much fog fluid and fills a small room very fast, bought it for mobile dj and home use, and coulnd't ask for better machine.

The only con I see is I wish both the cables were removable, or at least the power one, because the power cable is a bit short for some situations, but for the price I am happy with what I got.

I use it about 5 times, last time i use it for about 5 hours. And it stop work. I don't know what happened. I didn't check it after, but when things like this happen in party its not very funny. But it make lot of smoke.

Great

For small bdays, events !

Surprising Amount Of Fog!

For something so small and cheap it works surprisingly well.

I use it with a dense fluid and it's fantastic when using on stage or even on a film set!

It does take about 5 minutes to heat up, and it would be great if there was some sort of wireless controller.

But for what it is you can't go wrong!

Dj fog machine

The best choice of every Dj

perfect for little room

Super tiny fogger. Good for a little room, but gives vout very little amount of fog.

Impressive for the price

Does the job, and has to get five stars given the price. Becomes unavailable for a minute or so at times while it is re-heating (also at times when you have not used it for a while), but again the price point covers for that I'd say.

Very impressive for the money

Pretty well built, sturdy case. The amount of smoke it can produce (for a moderately seized room of course) is impressive. The size is also very compact and very easy to carry around for small projects, which I highly recommend it for.

DIAMOND for this amount of money

I bought this for little parties and gigs. This machine is absolutely amazing for the price. Quite good amount of smoke in one time (20m2 room was full of smoke, even too much smoke, in one straight push). I was using more dense smoke liquid.

If you need a lot of smoke in big room right away, you should buy more powerful thing. But I use it just to make a little effect with my PAR lights and moving heads.

+ cheap and good quality

+ good amount of smoke

+ very light and compact

- (Only one minus) it takes maybe too long to heat the liquid up and start making smoke and sometimes you need a little smoke right away but you have to wait some time to heat this thing up.

For this price it is definitely brilliant.
