We Bought the Cheap Walmart Fog Machine *Test and Review Video* Good or Bad? Halloween Fogger 4K Vid

At Walmart in their Halloween horror section, we kept seeing a display of their skeleton hand fog machines, they are cheap, but we were curious about them. Are they any good, are they worth your time and money? I do love the way they have creepy skeleton hands as decor on them. We bought one and the fog juice and test one out. We show you how long the warmup cycle is and how long the output cycle is. We use it in our house and then outside. Are goal in this video is to show you how this fogger worked and let you decide if it is a prop that you would want to include in your spooky yard display or haunted house. You can use the remote control, or it has a control on the fogger as well. We used a green LED light too in this video. The video was filmed in 4K vid for 2021.

I'm so glad someone posted a video on a fog machine from Walmart since no one has and I've been wanting to buy one, just didn't know where I should. Thanks for it!

Might not have seen the video because people buy it Walmart so they don’t know what it is. It’s actually made by Gemmy, the same folks who make the inflatables. There are videos about Gemmy foggers, but if you don’t know this is a Gemmy, you wouldn’t know what to look for.

Thats alot of fog I was scared for my life hahaha

[@darkdimensionshauntedhouse]

you thought you were in the movie "The Fog"??? lol

[@LA2047]

My only complaint with mine is that it doesn't have a timer function. So if you're using the fogger to create low-lying fog for an outdoor Halloween display (protected from weather of course), you have to keep going outside every few minutes to click the remote to have it go off again. That got very tiresome after hours.

[@darkdimensionshauntedhouse]

yeah I would prefer a timer too, probably because people would leave running and run out of fluid and burn up the motor. You might be able to tape down the button

[@blackc1479]

I was considering buying one of these as an additional helper machine. I didn't because I was worried that it didn't seem to have a timer function. It's gratifying to finally know that they don't. Glad I didn't waste the money, and glad you showed what to expect from em.

I have the same, Gemmy fog unit. I’ve used it for 3 years for an annual Halloween party. This one works fine. It’s all you’re need for inside any where smaller than a warehouse. You can easily fog the place so much that you cannot see 5 feet in front of you. During our 3rd annual Halloween party last night, the remote died. Trying to figure out a replacement remote for it.

Convert it to low laying fog, by placing the end in a corrugated drain pipe and placing some frozen water bottles inside of the pipe. Place a rag at the end of the pipe, to prevent water from dripping onto the floor. Or unplug the fire alarm.

Do you think you could create colored fog with these with dye or something, not a light?

Probably not, when u add stuff they could mess up, but it is a cheap fog machine. There is a company called froggys fog and they sell fog fluid and scents for your fog, maybe they have colors

[@AN-zz8ps]

idk if you can get colored fog but you could buy colored lightbulbs and then use the fog with those I have colored lightbulbs in my house and there super neat especially the purple black light one but I also have green and red which are cool and pink, orange and blue you can buy them for pretty cheap on amazon

I bought this same one in 2020, and it's a great fog machine, but there's no way to add a timer to it. I'm an electrician and opened my machine up and tried wiring it in in every way I could think of with no success.
