Needed work after using American DJ ECO juice
By B. Pyro
I bought this mostly to backup my one year old Chauvet 1300 fogger in case the Chauvet failed to work - I just replaced the pump on it under warranty. It costs a little more than the Chauvet and does not include a timer remote. The Chauvet comes with a timer remote but neither of the two remotes I have ever worked properly; only the auto continuous button works. That function is alone is good enough though to not have to man the button all night. I let the Chauvet run automatically all evening through my homemade fogger chiller and used the American DJ for intermittent extra dense fog.Since both foggers have comparible specs I'm surprised that more people have not reviewed them together. They both claim about the same wattage. The American DJ 1200 is much smaller than the Chauvet 1300 and is quieter. The Chauvet has a much more powerful pump and the fog blasts out farther. The American DJ puts out very dense fog for a longer amount of time when the on button is continuously held down but it takes it longer to warm up again. The claim on the box and their site that there is no warm up time in between blasts is not even close to being accurate. All foggers in this class have to warm up again after a long blast.I used the manufacturer recommended fog juice. The American DJ juice fog was more dense than the Chauvet but it could have been the foggers themselves. I haven't tried swapping the 2 fog juice brands between the 2 foggers yet. I did try Spirit Store fog juice (less than half the price)in the Chauvet and it did not hug the ground like the Chauvet juice even when I used my vortex style cooler chiller. Unless you want smoke style fog I would not use the Spirit Store juice.Next year I'll probably purchase the remote timer for the American DJ fogger. I'll update the review then.Update Oct 19, 2012: I ran the unit for about 20 minutes of intermittent blasts and then the output gradually went down to a very low level and started making noises. The unit had a total of one gallon of American DJ fog juice run through it last year and this year I'm using American DJ ECO juice. I'll contact American DJ for support tomorrow and will update this rating based on their response. Taking off 2 stars for now; if American DJ has decent support I'll change it back. Too bad, I was just about to order the timer remote for this thing. Now I need another fogger before Halloween.Update Oct. 22, 2012: I have not contacted American DJ for support. I found that the fog juice filter seemed to be partially clogged. There was some white stuff in the fog juice tank so I strained the juice (it had a full tank and the stuff is too expensive to waste) through a coffee filter and flushed out the tank. It ran for a few minutes afterwards and developed the same problem as before so I removed the filter. It seems to be working ok for now.Update Oct. 30, 2012: The unit completely stopped working. It makes noises but no fog at all. I disassembled the pump and it seems OK. I don't know whether the pump failed or the heater unit. Obviously, it won't be of any use on Halloween this year. Disappointing product that did not last a year.

Overkill
By tim
People posted saying this puts out as much fog as a 400 watt fogger, that's true, but each burst lasts 40 seconds and not 8! So it puts out more. I have 2 of these and dj-ed a rave in a room that is 100x70 feet. In 2 minutes I couldn't even see my speakers in front of me it worked so well. Uses alot of fog juice but it's not being wasted for sure, it's just 5 times the power of a regular fog machine, so it uses about 5 times the juice.

By William S. Maley
The output on this is great. The safety of the auto shut off for low fog juice is indispensible. This is a multi-day multi-season fogger. Remember to use fog cleaner when storing off-season. Buy the timer remote. It makes a huge difference. The machine is a bit loud.
