This item is a Chauvet Hurricane Fog Machine that is ideal for stage effects and parties. It is in great shape, having only been used three times, but does not include a remote control. The remote control's primary purpose is to remotely operate the machine on demand; the control is not entirely necessary, as there is an automatic fog switch located on top of the machine that puts out an equal amount of fog. It will however include maybe 1/6 of a container of fog fluid, which is adequate for approximately 30 minutes of fog. This machine is very fog fluid efficient, and the fog itself is water based, so there is no hazard of poisoning, though it should never be swallowed. Upon dispersal from the machine, the fog will remain for a decent amount of time depending on the ventilation, and does not have a discomforting smell like many of the competition. Original MSRP is $49.99 and there will be no reserve on this product. PRODUCT IS SOLD AS IS AND CANNOT BE RETURNED.
