yup, it's only 400 watts and holds about a cup and a half of ice, doesnt work too well as a ground fogger but works good as a regular fogger, i think I paid $59 for mine last year.......Mine works just not too good as a ground fogger......I dont understand why they even bother making 400 watt foggers, anything less then 700 watts is so limited.....

if you have a Party City near by, go get one of their 1000 watt foggers, they are selling them for $59 and if you use the $10 off coupon it's $49!

the best ground foggers are either a good fogger and chiller, or very expensive all in one units.

I built a chiller.......:)

several years ago I built one and it worked great.....but I dont know what happened to it in the 3 moves since, so I had to build a new one.

I got a storage tub from Walmart ($4) and some mesh screen from Home Depot ($9) and used some PVC pipe I had here at the house and made this one for this year, holds about 2-3 bags of ice but has no insulation factor at all. I just needed some silicone and zip tie's to finish it off.

It works pretty good but I dont know how long the ice will last, 3-4 hours I hope

I bought a steel tub like the old-fashioned washtubs to put severed body parts in for my yard haunt. But now that I think of it, maybe I better put it inside..don't want to scare the little ones coming to the door for TOT.

I love Spirit, but Target is cool at Halloween too.
I'm off in the evening for more shopping. I might have to be like you guys are, just not look at the receipt! :lol:

I probably shouldnt tell you guys this but.......Party City has the Super Techno 1000 watt foggers for $59.......Spirit is selling the Techno fogger 1000 watt for $79 (I think)......If you can find a $10 off Party City coupon (mine expired yesterday) thats $49 for the 1000 watt fogger!
