Does the fog created smell bad or overwhelming?

That will depend on what type of fog juice you use. I have tried several including mixing my own and I haven't had any problems with smell.

Fog smell is a result of the fog juice used, not the fog machine. So if you purchase high quality fog juice then the smell will be diminished.

Depends on your definition of bad. Yes there is an odor. No its not overwhelming, but we use it outdoors with our Halloween decorations, so theres plenty of fresh air. If you've gone to see any bands or plays that use a rolling fog, chances are its the same smell. they do make scented fog liquids, but from the reviews I've read, I wouldn't want to put that into this investment.

I never saw any mist come out but I did smell the vapor. Like some of the others have mentioned this doesn't serve he purpose of neither a dehumidifier or an air cleaner...it probably puts out maybe 2 tablespoons of water per day. To answer your question, unfortunately I would probably have to say yes it's normal.

Hi,I live in NY and we have gotten a ton of rain so my response may be different. However, this fog is great for immediate results. For example, tomorrow is a party and you need to get rid of bugs, this is the choice. It only last a few days to a week where I live and bugs reproduce quickly. There are much better items for longer lasting effects. It is also very toxic and I recommend a mask.

Each can will cover 3,000 sq feet; remember that will depend on the openness of your area to fog if you have many walls the distribution will have to be adjusted if you have few walls you'd be good to go. Also, Clear the house of all persons and pets for the 4 hour period of active fogging, then open all windows to air out for at least 30 minutes 60 would be best. Wipe down all counter tops and othere areas that food and children will come into contact. Sounds like a lot but it is well worth the effort!

Agree with previous answer. This fog machine uses water based solution. In my experience there is almost no smell at all, no sticky residue and don't believe as long as you use a water based fog fluid that you will get any food contamination.

I get a good amount of fogging, I just pull it down under my nose for a minute. I recommend washing it before using it as it does have a bit of a smell, otherwise its great.

I got mine, opened the box and was almost knocked over. The smells is horrible so I took it out of my house.I'm hoping that over time it will go away, but it can't be good to breath that smell in,, it's really that bad. I wouldlove to send it back.

No, there should be no smell at all after you have hooked up all the lines or canisters.........I say AFTER because when first hooking or unhooking lines/canisters there will be some leakage.........after a certain time (10 min ?) if there is any smell you should check all lines and tanks......if STRONG smell and in confined space you should not use of course but in your situation in a green house I would think that is not so air tight but then like I said you should not have any odor, I have a little buddy set up in my garage with a 20 pound tank and also a big buddy set up at my cabin and neither has any odor at all !

In the beginning only. It wasnt a bad odor, it just smelled like there was something being cleaned kind of? Sorry can't explain too well. In any case the smell goes away. Also I thought it would have been bigger than the picture. But it doea what it needs to and we use it all day and all night since we've bought it.

I've sprayed it in a cellar and left it for a day. When I brought it back into my closet, I could smell it for perhaps another day. Same using it outdoors...a day or so of residual odor. I don't think the smell is awful, just odd.

David, I hadn't noticed it fogging when I shower, but it isn't close to my shower, so I tested it with my breath and it fogged. Sorry. I love that it saves space on my vanity and has a powerful magnification.

There was an immediate odor on application but I live in a single one bedroom apartment and did a coffee table and end table right in the living room with just the immediate living room window open and a bedroom window open for a cross breeze and I did not feel overwhelmed by fumes or anything. It was surprising better than I was expecting, (I was expecting something that burned my eyes or nose like bleach) and the scent did not linger for days after. Just vent the place and I think you would be just fine.

I don't notice a bad smell either. Sorry I am not much help either. I guess I am used to the smell and it goes away pretty quick after you put it on.

The answers that say the stink goes away give me hope, because it is AWFUL. With the UV on, I also got a burning smell. I was coughing and my eyes were burning within a few minutes. Quite a shock, considering this is supposedly designed to improve the air, not poison it.

sure. mine takes about 15 minutes to acclimate. come to think of it, mine has never had an issue with sweating, or fogging up.

We do not experience such an odor. I would return if such phenomenon occurred. Sorry about your experience !

No bad smell. Maybe during the install it has a small smell. But a few minutes, nothing at all.
