JDR Fog Machine 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

I bought a pair of these for Halloween in 2023 and they worked fantastic. The fog machine is not continuous, it will blow smoke for about a minute before having to reheat which is also about a minute. There's a button on the back to toggle automatic firing on/off, this will allow the machine to run unattended for about 20 minutes before it runs out of fog juice. It comes with a remote that works well from about 60ft so you can manually fire it instead. A single remote will trigger multiple machines at the same time. I used these in 2023 and I drained their fog juice reservoirs before putting them away. I pulled them back out in 2025, fulled the reservoir, and they started working perfect. Even the remotes still worked! A word of caution, the nozzle on the front gets very hot and will burn you if touched, keep it away from kids who want to try and touch it. It's a great machine and easy to use.

Stopped working within 30 mins

I purchased both the fog machine and the ultrasonic mister to build my own fogger setup for our Halloween house — and I’m so impressed! I’m including a photo and video of everything dry-fit together before final assembly and even at that stage it worked beautifully. The combination creates an awesome, dense, low fog effect that held up surprisingly well even in 80-degree weather and with some wind. Everything performed flawlessly and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend for anyone creating spooky outdoor effects! The remote didn’t work but I think it’s because the battery is dead. I’ll change it and see if that fixes the problem. Cut a section of tubing and moved the "3 Inch Inline Blower Fan with Speed Controller" to about 24" from the water tub so the blower wasn't at the end of the line. As you can see the only change I made was to bypass the installed bottle and extended the hose so that I can have a larger container for the fog juice. Update: I ended up not using the remote at all. I just let it run on auto so I don't know if the remote works. It was amazing on Halloween and had some neighbours coming over to check out the set up. It was so impressive. Temperature was about 65' and the fog effect was amazing. It rolled across the lawn (after the wind died down) and into the street. Kids loved stomping around through it.

Good little fogger. Outputs more than I thought it would. Waiting on the cycle is a little annoying sometimes but at this price it's expected

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.
