You'll want something with high output, safe, quiet and does not leave oily residue like many oil based hazers. Check out the hazers by Le Maitre or JEM, if I remember correctly they are very good, and have huge output from minimal haze fluid.

hey i own a lematire neutron xs i love it its silent and clean leave little to no residue and the only anoying feature is it has a built in cycle so you leave it on but every ten min or so it stops for a min to clean its self and then restarts which isnt so bad for your size rooom but in larger rooms you then need two of them to fill it or some fans.

my question for you is whats your price range real hazers not phazers can be quite expensive even used ones but if u have two grand to blow get an MDG atmospher hazer they are quite exalent


thanks

I have used the Jem ZR 24/7 which has a built in fan and can also be controlled via DMX. Not sure what the price on them is, as I hire them.

I have used them on weddings where being quiet is a must.

The best hazer we have used EVER is the mdg atmosphere. It works great!!!!!!!!! it runs off of CO2 and a fluid. The CO2 gives the effect of haze rather than fog. it is an actuall hazer not a fogger. It is one of the best investments we have ever made.

The Neutron is under $1000 in the U.S. If you buy it out of state, you can probably talk them in to free shipping and no tax (unless a school buys it, in which case you shouldn't be paying taxes anyway).

in my opinion one thing i have learned is that if your going to buy something its worth waiting till you have the right amount of money to get the right equipment for the job. if you buy a cheeper model of imitation it can brake down or not last as long as you would like which is why i pose this question why buy. hazers are costly and good hazers cost even more you would be better off renting and waiting till you have 2 grand to buy a great hazer so it lasts longer but this is just what i would do not every body works on this principle
