Mini-format at a mini-price

The Stairville AF-40 Mini Fog Machine is a steal at its price point, but this dinky, super compact fog machine can still give the competition a run for its money in terms of performance. The brevity of the warm-up time and the power of the heating element are truly impressive, and the AF-40 can also deliver a continuous output of fog over a considerable length of time. It can be placed on the ground or suspended using the integrated bracket, and the scope of delivery includes a wired remote control to allow the user to start the fog flowing whenever they wish at the push of a button.

Stairville fog machine with remote control

Maximum fog, minimum effort

The diminutive Stairville AF-40 Mini Fog Machine, which tips the scales at just 2.1kg, is child’s play to use: All the user has to do is press and hold the red button on the remote control, and they can unleash a jet of fog for up to 30 seconds. The cable on the remote control is 4m long, and like the power supply cable, is hardwired to the unit. The warm-up process begins once the machine is connected to the power supply and switched on, and the 400W heating element is ready for use in around five minutes. The remote control has an in-built infrared light which comes on when the machine is ready for action. The fog is emitted in a horizontal direction, and there is a level indicator on the rear of the housing so the user can keep an eye on how much liquid is left in the 0.25l reservoir.

For party venues and special effects

For those who occasionally need a mini fog machine for a basement party or a stage show, the Stairville AF-40 Mini Fog Machine is ideal – no need for DMX software or technical expertise. The AF-40 will capably cover small dancefloors, music venues, and theatre stages in a dense, white fog. Mobile DJs and touring theatre companies will in turn appreciate the portability of this compact machine (28x15x19cm), which can easily be concealed on set. All that remains is to choose from one of the five fog fluids, which are sold separately.

About Stairville

Since it was introduced in 1994, Thomann's in-house brand Stairville has been a permanent fixture in the store's product range. The brand primarily focuses on the field of stage lighting in general, and its products include spotlights, moving lights, and theatre lighting as well as smoke machines, electronic control systems, and every other accessory you can think of. Thomann constantly has around 1,600 Stairville products on offer, and the figures speak for themselves: Statistically, one in every fifteen Thomann customers owns at least one Stairville product. Incidentally, the name "Stairville" is also a catchy English translation of "Treppendorf", the town that Thomann calls home.

Different smokes for different folks

Before switching on the Stairville AF-40 Mini Fog Machine, the user must always remember to deactivate any smoke detectors! For parties, we recommend Stairville E-C fluid, which lingers on the dancefloor for a long time. The Stairville Fast Fog Fluid provides more of a theatrical mist which evaporates rapidly. Lighting effects in turn are particularly impressive with Stairville E-M, whereas the Stairville E Special is perfect for laser shows. And at a garden party or outdoor event Stairville E-HD fluid creates particularly dense fog. To get the most out of the fog machine for as long as possible, we also recommend rinsing the machine after each use with Stairville’s fog machine cleaner.

Good little fogger

Dan Dan the sound man 12.04.2018

I got this for a small theater production where all I needed was a small fog machine that was quick to setup and simple to use. It was great for that, very easy to setup and operate using the one button to go.
It produces and good cloud of fog considering it's size and price however when you use it, it very quickly cools down and you have to wait for it to warm up again before you can use it again.
So for a small party or for an effect this is a good little fog machine.
However it does have it's drawbacks. This isn't a fog machine you can turn on set what you want and forget about it till the end, you have to press the button every time you want fog. Also although it does produce a good amount of fog for it's size and price, it's won't fill a big room very quickly.
The lead for the button is a good length so you can position it away from where you are and still control it and the button does have a magnet on the back to hold it in place.
Overall it is a good fog machine for the money but lacking some of the features of the bigger more expensive one.

A smoke monster

Marco_erre 18.07.2017

You will not believe how much smoke this micro machine can spit out. it takes something like 4 minutes to warm up and load the first shot, but one it is going it takes a few less and this thing can get a huge amount of fog in a medium venue, if you keep pressing the button.

perks: very light, huge amount of smoke, very very small liquid usage, long distance shot

defects: a little slow to warm up, the power cord is way too short, there is no "auto shoot" on the machine, you have to actively press the button, and while you are on stage is not always comfortable, a little noisy.

anyway, for the price, it is way more than expected.
i got 2 and they can really get a medium venue totally foggy.

Awesome Machine for its size and price

TheRacingLion 15.04.2020

Great and fast output. There is a bit of waiting time between active times and it might take a bit to first heat up but when it goes, it goes.

Does not use too much fog fluid and fills a small room very fast, bought it for mobile dj and home use, and coulnd't ask for better machine.

The only con I see is I wish both the cables were removable, or at least the power one, because the power cable is a bit short for some situations, but for the price I am happy with what I got.

Great for outdoor parties

Howard 12.05.2020

I bought this for one of our annual summer parties to add a bit of drama to the lights when the sun goes down. It's not suitable for a stage show, but good fun and works well enough for a small gathering. Don't expect a huge fog bank and you won't be disappointed. The reservoir holds enough for a reasonable amount of smoke. The trick is not to hold the footswitch down, but to add smoke in short bursts with a short rest in between each burst.
