Hey everyone. I did a search, but I thought I'd start a new thread since this is a forward-moving industry where new products are always hitting the market.
We are looking in to buying a pair of fog machines to use for live events. We generally rent High End F-100's, but the demand is beginning to hit the point where it makes sense for us to buy our own without dealing with availability of the rental houses, scheduling pick-up/return, etc.
As for the types of events we do -- all kinds. Cheerleading competitions, NCAA (player entrances on to field, etc), Corporate meetings; you name it. We don't need super high output, but we do need something reliable and from a company with good customer service (generous warranty, good tech support). Parts availability and the ability to do in-house repairs would also be favorable to us.
I have always heard good things about Martin and Look Solutions, Le Maitre (Ultra Tec). I know that High End's FQ-100 would certainly be a top choice, though it may be overkill for our needs. Above all, reliability is very important. We maintain our own equipment and will flush the heater core on a regular basis -- we just need something that can stand up to good commercial use and doesn't mind being hauled around the state. It has just been a long time since I've researched fog machines.
