Chauvet Hurricane 1300 Fog Machine Review

Very portable at under 17 pounds, the Chauvet Hurricane 1300 Fog Machine is great for providing that extra authentic Halloween or Haunted Party theme. Receiving a healthy 4 out of 5 stars from Amazon customers for satisfaction, quality and price, you can spend more money and get an inferior product.

If you are looking for a hands-off fog machine, the Chauvet Hurricane 1300 is perfect. It has a large fog fluid reservoir and extra long corded remote, so you can enjoy the party with everyone else, instead of constantly having to fill the tank.

Chauvet Hurricane 1300 Review

The fog also really makes dance floors “pop” when combined with Disco lights, strobe lights and other visual effects. The 3.3 liter tank holds plenty of fog juice, and a gallon can cover a large area. One Amazon reviewer said he covered a 3 acre farm in a matter of minutes! Chauvet Fog Juice 1 Gallon is currently on sale at Amazon at almost 41% off, and makes the Chauvet Hurricane 1300 Fog Machine even a more attractive purchase (Froggy’s Fog also works well with this unit).

Some fog machines will “spit” fluid that is not made specifically for it. If you have a your fog machine mounted up high, this can be an obviously annoying predicament for part-goers. The Chauvet Fog Juice works error-free in its proprietary machine.

The 1300 comes with a multi-position hanging bracket that can be manipulated to allow almost any setup, and has a conveniently mounted, sturdy center handle that offers you the ability to walk and cover with a layer of fog before placing the machine in a permanent position. A 100 x 100 foot round will be one foot deep in fog in 30 seconds with the powerful 20,000 cubic foot per minute output, but don’t worry about the tank running out. There is a low fluid indicator that will keep the fog pumping, and an auto shutdown when empty.

Don’t think that one tank won’t last. Fog juice goes a long way. In a medium sized auditorium, a tank can last 8 hours. And the handy remote timer allows you to monitor fog levels and develop a nice steady rhythm of layering. After all, too much fog is worse than no fog at all, and a layer only a few inches deep is worthless. The Chauvet Hurricane 1300 Fog Machine puts out heavy, dense, hanging fog when used with the Chauvet Fog Juice, and medium to strong winds pass right over it.

A few customers complained that the remote timer did not work, but they likely did not wait long enough. Several customers stated that the timer has a “warm up” time, and that the lowest setting only fires fog every 90 to 120 seconds. So before you think you have a bad unit on your hands, play with the remote before party time and you will be very pleased with this dense-fog-producing product from Chauvet.

Can you get cheaper fog machines? You sure can, head to your local party store and buy something cheaper and you will wreck your party. If you are a discriminating party monster that demands quality and durability, and wants people raving about your parties and coming back year after year, get the Chauvet Hurricane 1300 Fog Machine. Amazon offers free shipping, and the 1300 is currently 41% off, so act now!
