ADJ Products MISTER-KOOL-II Grave Yard Low Lying Water Based Fog Machine

I use this guy with fog juice that is formulated for low-lying fog and regular water-based ice for my Halloween laser display. I live in a 6A USDA hardiness zone, so our weather is usually in the 45°-55°F range on Halloween and I would say the effect is moderate compared to what I've seen achieved in warmer climates. I'm still plenty satisfied with how the lasers interact with the fog from this machine and I get lots of compliments from the trick-or-treaters and their parents. In one night, I use about 16 pounds of ice and half a gallon of fog juice. The ice needs a refill every 45 minutes and the juice every 90 minutes on the continuous setting. I love this product and definitely recommend it for my use case, but I'll highlight the drawbacks just to give a more complete picture. Firstly, fog juice is basically unflavored vape juice. This will affect people with respiratory issues. The access to the ice chamber is kind of a pain because you have to screw the handle for quite a while. Of course, it requires semi-frequent attention for fresh ice and fog juice as previously mentioned. The controller is unintuitive in terms of user feedback, but works fine once you dial it in. I can't wholly weigh in on the drain because I just let it run off onto the ground, but the included water bag seemed pretty small. Emptying the fog juice reservoir is not at all convenient if you want to run a cleaning solution through the fogger. Also, I did try to use this machine indoors once and it put off way too much fog on the lowest setting, so beware of that too. Still, I'd buy this again in a heartbeat. UPDATE (2025): After 4 seasons of use, the pump died, which is a bit disappointing for a machine at this price point. I'm a little handy and it was relatively easy to replace myself. I also took the opportunity to put in a longer hose, so now I can run it directly into the gallon container of juice instead of the small reservoir it comes with. I also decided to try using dry ice this year. I was only able to get blocks and it ran through less than two 10lb blocks over the trick-or-treat window. I broke the blocks up into chunks using a hammer. The low fog effect was much better with the dry ice, but eventually water-based ice condensed inside the machine from the fog itself and clogged the usual airflow path. I was able to keep the fog flowing by propping up the lid and allowing it to escape that way.

This worked pretty good with just standard ice I bet it would be amazing with dry ice

I received this item yesterday. I was very excited to try this out, but because it was very windy outside, I decided to try this indoors on my pergo flooring. After about 10 mins of low lying fog, I ended up setting off my ADT fire alarm system, (after my son played in it and made the fog go all over the place (note, do not use indoors for this reason). Besides this, I went to take this outdoors & all the ice that melted inside the machine had leaked all over my floor, ALL OVER!!!. I was hoping I had installed the bag wrong, but I didn't. I read the instructions 1st before using. The bag apparently was not sealed properly, but also all the water was leaking from the very bottom of this machine. I'm a bit upset as I was going make this an addition for my photography business, but now I need to return this plus getting charged by the UPS STORE just to send this back. I would like to reach out to this company personally to see what my best options are, but wasn't able to find how to contact them, at least not yet. Maybe this one machine was a dud, but for the price, it should work properly. I have read from a few other reviews that this leaked for other people that have purchased this item, but hoped that wouldn't be the case for me. Other than the leaking of water, this machine can spit out fog & it does the job well, but only if it didn't leak. This would have gotten a 5 star for use, but unfortunately gets a 1 star.

We’ve had this fog machine for four years and used it on Halloween. It puts out an impressive amount of fog but there are important things to note if you are going to buy this -regular ice does not work because the drainage bag that the melted ice is suppose to flow into doesn’t work (as said by other reviews), it causes the water to just soak right through the machine which cannot be good for machine. Dry ice evaporates therefore not needing the drainage bag and not creating any kind of a mess. It also makes the machine work 1000x better with regards to the fog staying close to the ground. So if you’re going to invest in this plan to get dry ice. -if it’s warm or windy the fog isn’t going to stay close to the ground -use a high quality fog juice that is specifically made for low lying machines (like froggy’s), cheap fog juice will not give you the effect you want I do like this and recommend this but please take into account the points above.

Good machine. Only thing is the water dont always go out the pipe. It’s been coming out the fan so clearly it’s not water proof!

Works great! Can’t wait to out it to work at our next wedding!

Buen efecto, no esperes llenar toda una casa ni una psuta de baile con el. Fog pegado al suelo, se subirá y es denso el humo, pero si un cuarto o un set

bon appareil, fumée restant bien au sol les premières minutes (15m) ensuite la fumée monte Ravi de cet achat

Me encanta quiero otra. Ya quiero que estén disponibles de nuevo 😅.
