Fog Machine JDR 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

So far so good. It does ten to overheat so just be careful and don't burn yourself cuz it can get hot. The fog is really good though. The lights work well too so far. But we haven't used it much so I don't know how durable it is.

I ordered this fog machine as a last minute idea to have going in my yard along with spooky music for the neighborhood Halloween trick-or-treaters. I was getting concerned when it hadn’t been delivered by late in the day, but it arrived just in time. It was very simple to attach the handle and from there you connect the power cord and wired remote, pour in the fog chemical (I also ordered and added cotton candy scent to make it smell festive. I turned it on, waited for it to show the green indicator, pressed the button and voila!... there was a nice thick cloud being produced by this simple little machine. On the wired remote you’ve got to hold the button down to produce the fog. With the wireless remote, however, you can set it to go continuously. Which it will until it needs to heat back up. But in about a minute you’re good to go again. I do think I’ll look for some solutions that will produce a heavier fog that would stay more low lying. Not sure if that’s out there, but I’m gonna look. The lights are controlled by a switch on the back of the machine. They stay on constant when you turn them on, you’ll need to manually turn them off again if you don’t want them. They do give a cool effect through the fog. I’ve had several trick-or treaters already and they’re digging it. Several parents have made some great comments as well. My neighbor, who decorates elaborately asked what I had over here. I’m sure next year he’ll have one as well. lol Even though I’ve only owned this little machine for a few hours, I would recommend it for things like Halloween, house parties, etc. I’ll be looking forward to seeing how it will look in my pool area. Could make for some fun! Oh, and the cotton candy fragrance additive is great. Smells like we’re at a haunted Circus! 🎪

For the price I think it's a great value. But it's not perfect. I used it to give the effect of a volcano erupting. I think it did pretty well even though I had it in a tight cardboard box at an angle and I just cut a hole at the top for the smoke to escape. I made my own fog liquid with vegetable glycerin (belle chemical medical grade which was the cheapest i could find + poland springs distilled water), and the fog was very thick and rose above the house making it look like the house was burning down. I forgot to take any video in use unfortunately. The first thing I noticed was the back panel where everything plugs in is not flush and you can see the circuit board through the gap. It also moves a lot when you plug/unplug. So that was an immediate sign that the quality was not top-notch. But otherwise it feels pretty sturdy and solid metal. The other issue is that you have to press the button for the smoke to work (rather than have a timer function or a smart switch). The remote feels plasticky and cheap but has good range. Also you can't just keep using it continuously as I assume it is either overheating or needing to heat up more liquid. If you need perfect timing and your smoke on cue I wouldn't suggest this. Edit: Mine still works and we're approaching 2026!

Have used this a few time so far for testing a Halloween set we're doing while giving out candy this year. Everything seems to be working pretty good with it, and have no complaints. We bought some HD fog, and this fog machine barely uses any each time we've tested it out, so a gallon of fog liquid like we bought would last a long time. The only thing that may be a concern to some is that it does not include an automatic timer, users have to keep pressing the button to deploy fog. However, there is a free workaround to this (without buying a timer). Simply tie something around the remote to hold down the button (such as a velcro cable tie or zip tie), and the fog machine will continue to automatically spray fog after the cooldown delay.

I did quite a bit of research before buying this unit. On several websites I visited, this brand and model number was listed in the top five for its price point. At the time I bought this, you could by the unit with, or without, lights. I opted for the lights thinking it would be really cool with the fog/mist. As is turns out, it wasn't really worth the additional cost. The lights simply turn on, or off. They don't blink, they don't change colors, they don't fade, nothing. There's one red, blue, and green light. If I were to buy this unit again, I would save a few bucks and get the one without the LED lights. The unit comes with two remote controls; one wired, one wireless. The wired remote MUST be plugged into the fogger for the wireless remote to work. I simply kept the wired remoted coiled up, with a twisty-tie, hidden behind the unit, and used the wireless remote to turn the fogger on and off. As the instructions say, it's good for up to about 50' of unobstructed interference. This seemed to be the case and was perfect for my application.

This is the second mid priced fog machine i have bought that does not work properly. I wish it was me but these machines suck. The first one I bought last halloween. Different brand and a little cheaper. But some problem as this one. Turns on. Heats up for 5+ minutes. Press the button and ir spots our fog for 11 seconds and stops. Another halloween ruined. These reviews looked promising but this device is not.

This machine is pretty small but works great. I use two of them for fog and smoke effect in a large hall. They are more than powerful enough for the space. I have absolutely no use for the LEDs though. Luckily you can just turn those off. I have had other models that the lights are always on and I end up having to tape them off. The wireless remote works everytime and I can hook it up to my light board as well.

When I first saw the box, I was worried. The product was like 1/2 the size of what I expected. It is SMALL. That said, it works well. Looking to have a nice haze in a 500 sq ft room? This does it, and reasonably quickly. Make sure you get the medium density smoke. Also, be prepared, it does take a few minutes to warm up before you can use it. Literally, not figuratively. Like all water based smoke machines it needs to heat up first. I am happy with the purchase.

low quality. after 3 hours not even worked anymore.

Smoke/fog works and led light work. However the machine delivered to me is not exactly like the pictures - pics show a power button and a led light button at the back - what I got is only a power button. Also the remote control looks different. So I cannot turn off the lights, even with the remote control. The machine takes a few minutes before smoke can be released, there is no indication of when it is ready but give it 3 min and it works with remote or foot button. However you have to press continuously to make it release, and it only works for max 1 min before it needs to warm up again for 3 min and then you can try again. So for the purpose I had in mind it is ok but for a party or decoration it is too manual…
