Well, as a previous asst. manager at a halloween store I am going to say upfront, I have seen my share of poorly built fog machines and dj equipment.

That being said, I kind of expected to have issues when I took this out of the box as its price is uncomparable.

So, prepping for my show I tested it and almost as expected it was dead. It heated up but never lit up. So, rather then try to go through a return I pulled out my phillips screwdriver and checked the controller, and then checked the unit itself.

Sure enough, it was a wire that the manufacturer somehow didnt plug in, and clearly didnt test.So, I plugged it in...

Now that being said, it works like a charm. And for a musician's stage performance, this thing is spectacular!

I want to clarify, VMInnovations was awesome for the speed of the delivery and everything being exactly what I ordered.

Just a sign of Chauvet's poor workmanship, probably due to the very low cost of the item.

I am very happy with it now, and all it took was 10 minutes with a screwdriver. If you order ANY fog machines, just be prepared

for issues. It's something I have always seen a lot of within my store.
