Best Fog Machines

If you have a party in your future or you’re preparing to have an event at your school or office, it may be time to buy your own fog machine. Whether you’re looking to save some money and decorate your own event or you are starting a professional DJ business, a fog machine is an excellent investment. They make any party instantly cooler.

What To Look For In A Fog Machine

To color or not to color? That is the question. We’ve included machines that have a rainbow of LED lights to choose from, as well as more straightforward machines that produce fog, but no colors.

If you want a machine that you can control from across a room, opt for a style that comes with a wireless remote.

Keep the size of your event in mind. Smaller fog machines are fun for decorating your yard at Halloween or a small party, while bigger events require a bigger machine that can fill a dance floor without looking like an underwhelming party pooper.

How We Chose The Best Fog Machines

When it comes to the best fog machines, we prioritized devices that were easy to transport and easy to use. Yes, special effects are awesome and really add to an event, but if making them happen is only going to stress you out, what’s the use? Below, we’ve gathered a handful of the most highly rated fog machines that will allow you to add some razzle-dazzle to your next event with very little effort on your part.

Whether you’re stepping up your party game or creating a lasting memory at a wedding, these fog machines will help you reach your goals.

We also like that the AGPTEK can produce a sizeable amount of fog for a small machine and makes a big impact without a big footprint.

PRODUCES AMPLE FOG

The updated 1byone Fog Machine with Wired Remote Control has 400-watt capabilities in order to help run the machine smoother.
