Excellent Product. Worked as designed. Identified the smallest leak in a matter of seconds. Well worth the investment.

I recently purchased the Automotive Smoke Machine by Autoline and I am extremely impressed with its performance. As a professional mechanic, I've used a variety of smoke machines over the years, and this one stands out as one of the best. First and foremost, the machine is incredibly easy to use. It's compact and lightweight, so it's easy to move around the shop, and the intuitive controls make it simple to set up and start smoking. I wish i would have bought the one with adapter because without them it make using the most machine much harder. But what really sets this smoke machine apart is the quality of the smoke it produces. The smoke is thick and consistent, making it easy to pinpoint leaks in even the most hard-to-reach areas. I've used it to diagnose everything from vacuum leaks to intake manifold leaks, and it's been incredibly accurate every time.

When I received the product the items inside were boxed very neatly and professionally. The item appeared very sturdy and well built and nothing was missing from the packaging. Based on 1-2 star reviews I wanted to check inside the canister and look at the coil and wick to make sure it was not broken. Everything was in tact and I followed the instruction manual. I did what the instructions said and proceeded to heat the canister up. Once 3-4 minutes passed I turned on the pump, almost instantly the smoke started to rush out. I made sure to purchase the additional adapters for the larger hoses and intake hoses. The canister pumped and pumped and pumped, no issues and when I removed the hose to make sure the smoke was still flowing I could clearly hear the pressure the pump was making inside of the engine and functioning as should. I was very surprised at how well this pumped worked for the 20-30 minutes I used it for to diagnose my car. The smoke does have a smell that lingers not sure if that just how they all are, but nothing major (I was outside). Over all I was impressed and happy with my purchase.

I will consider amending this review depending on company's response. I received the product Saturday morning via overnight shipping because it is a long weekend and I need this tool to diagnose my car this weekend. Opening the box everything looked to be of sturdy material. the instructions were easy to follow and the assembly went very simple. I hooked the device up to a battery and followed the instructions on warm up and use. It worked perfectly and i was very excited for the car to return from being driven that day to find my evap leak. when the my car returned i eagerly went to attach the unit again and get a quick test before it got dark. NOTHING! No power, no heat, no fan blowing. I swapped out the provided extra fuse eventhough the original still looked good. Still nothing. Im beyond frustrated at the prospect of it being friday night on a long holiday weekend unable to diagnose/fix my car as intended. I emailed the seller and as expected only received an automated reply. Amazon only directs me to contact the company. I will break out the multimeter and see if i can troubleshoot but this should not happen on day 1!! UPDATE: Company was very responsive considering it was a holiday weekend. I would give 5 stars for them as a company for this reason alone. They sent the suspected replacement parts and they were received 09/06/23. They also included an extra bottle of fluid for no charge. A quick test of the new part and it looks good for now!! I am changing my review to 4 stars because i cannot give 5 based on what happened. However, I will say that if i hadnt encountered the issue i had i would have gladly given 5. I am grateful for the support I received and i would give the company a chance again. My thoughts may change if it breaks again lol

This smoke kit is fantastic after all the years of trying to find vacuum leaks. I used this the other day, and it rocks for locating EVAP leaks. This is one tool I was unsure about watching YouTube videos but after using it I found a leak I would have never found. I would give this a 10 star rating if I could. Being able to work remotely is worth every penny for vehicles that can't be driven due to no license plate tags or not running because it sat there because people did not have the money to pay a shop for repairs. I am still pumped up about this tool, after turning a wrench for over 30years I would say this is in the top 5 tools I have bought to repair vehicles. Puts out more than enough smoke, so easy to use, the size is very compact with the built-in compressor saved me a lot of time and I don't not have to bring anything else like a compressor or have electrical power to plug in a smoker. I was really surprised it really put out as much smoke as it did. It took a 5-hour job of crawling around on the ground under a vehicle trying to check all the lines from front to back, even places you can't really get eyes on without mirrors, flashlights and dirt in your face. This smoker turned it into a 15-minute job. So happy I can't wait for the next time I will be using it. My only mistake was not buying one of these years ago. This has a great design. I would definitely purchase the two adaptor kits that are: the yellow plug kit and the black 5-piece hose adaptors for the different sizes of hoses that are on a vehicle.

This little guy pumps a lot of smoke and I like that it’s regulated to 1 psi max. Which makes doing evap systems safe to work on. It’s nice knowing that the supplied oil is OEM safe and won’t cause system issues (although I’d be cautious when using in systems with delicate sensors). I could have purchased a more expensive machine, but for the price, the outcome is the same, it makes and pumps smoke. Job done! I would highly recommend this.

I'm a DIYer, this was a very helpful tool in diagnosing my evap system leak. Easy to set up and use. Having the 1hp pump makes it easy.

Nice unit and works well for the price

Super facile à utiliser et fonctionne super bien

Works really well in putting out alot of smoke..!
