PULACO Mist Maker, 12 LED Mister Fogger Water Fountain Pond Fog Machine Atomizer Air Humidifier, Indoor Fountain Mister Foggers Perfect for Halloween

After reading reviews I wasn't expecting much, but my wife wanted one for a Halloween prop she wants to make. It came fast and in a box that protected it well on its journey from wherever to here. When I took it out of the box my expectations were even lower. I got a bowl like you would have cereal or soup out of and took it to the garage and set it on the bench. I put the little umbrella shaped shield on it, set it in the bowl and filled until the water was a 1/2 inch over the top of the metal cylinder. Still not expecting much, I plugged it in. Immediately the water started to bubble from the top of the cylinder and within seconds a fog rolling over the sides of the bowl and across the bench, off the edge of the bench and and fairly quickly condensed/dissipated as it got about a foot below the top of the bench. Is it a fog machine? No it isn't, not by any stretch of imagination. But it is a useful little device to create a fun display for about any party or occasion. One thing to keep in mind, the mist is heavy so as it is generated it wants to go down and spread out across any surface, like a bench or table. Again, the mist doesn't climb far after it leaves the generator so you don't want it to set down inside a deep cauldron unless you want to contain the effect mostly inside. We have a big cast iron pot and found a round plastic party platter that would set just a few inches below the top of the pot where it wedged against the sides. The same bowl I used in the garage works well sitting on the platter and the effect of the fog rolling over the side of the pot is great. I will look for a bowl or something with a larger diameter. The device works best with a 1/2 inch of water over the generator. To much water and it's not as effective, not enough and the generator will run hot. A larger diameter container will keep the depth optimal longer as the water vapor flows away. The lights are neat, but I wish there was a switch to turn them off for a different effect, but for 13.99 it's great. Keep in mind that as the vapor condenses back to water it will create a wet area. Also, windy conditions may have a negative effect on the fun.

I been reading a lot of reviews about this thing failing or shocking people.Well it’s lasted me almost a year and a half, granted I don’t use it that much. I keep it in a small bowl and the water will evaporate over time. If the little contact on top isn’t submerged then it won’t work! After a while of not refilling the water, my bowl completely dried out, and started to get nasty, white scaly stuff and a bit of mold in the bowl with it, well I just cleaned the bowl and refilled it with distilled water and it fired up.Distilled water is nothing but pure H20 and not good to drink, but good to use with this. Water from the sink has all kinds of minerals and contaminants that make it drinkable but will definitely corrode this product faster

The media could not be loaded. The amount of fog it produces is perfect for what I wanted it for. I think I have the water level too high and I have the splash guard on, so that also reduces the amount of fog coming out. It does splash but I also have a water pump in the cauldron so it could be either, the splashes don’t bother me much. I wanted to be able to change the colors, I was hoping it would have a green option as well so I could just leave the color on green; but as far as I can tell I can’t change the colors at all or make it stay on one specific color. It just cycles through blue/purple and orange/red. It would be 5 stars if I was able to toggle the colors but that may have been an error on my end for not reading through the description enough. Regardless, the fog is good and you can change the amount of fog you want by raising or lowering the water level and whether or not you have the splash guard on. Good machine for a good price.

I ordered this fogger to replace an old one that lasted nearly 15 years for a Halloween decoration. Nice vibrant colors, brighter than its old one which is nice. Good fog output and a perfect replacement. I doubt it'll hold up as long as the old one did but for the price as long as it lasts a couple years I'll be happy. It does splatter a lot so use the splatter shield if you're using an open container. 5 stars for now because it's made pretty well and does what it's supposed to do, time will tell if it holds up or not. Just keep in mind there's no on/off switch so you have to have it set to a timer plug, remote control plug or just unplug it after each use. Overall, not bad!

I was going to use this as a humidifier in my home built meat dry ager. It was working great on my countertop. By the time I found a bowl at Goodwill to keep in the dry aging fridge the thing crapped out a couple days after the return period. The problem seems to be the sensor.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this for my cauldron but found it to not be strong enough for the mist to billow out, it stays on the surface. It does create a little more mist when the splash guard is removed, but not enough to deal with it splashing everywhere. I'm going to buy a second one and hope that will do the trick.
