Over priced machine that does not function properly

First of all, the oil leaked very where when we received the package. You would be dealing with a mess and the oil is difficult to wash off!

The most important problem is the little amount of smoke it produces. The lack of smoke and low pressure is not gonna work for most jobs.

The instruction says to pour out any remaining oil after each use. You flip the machine upside down but the oil barely drips out. We tried shaking it, it did not help. After 2-3 minutes, there is still oil left in the machine. Again, the machine is now covered with oil and needs to be cleaned up.

We contacted the company's customer service about the little amount of smoke but received no response.

Overall, it is a poorly designed product that does not meet the requirements of a job site.

Worth every penny

Has everything u need and more great quality under priced in my opinion for the price you’re getting a all in one tool can’t recommend enough they even sent me a flashlight with my order Great company and tool will be for sure buying future products from them

Junk tool

Never even used and doesn’t work first time use. Master certified tech at a dealer and invested into this tool and doesn’t work stay far away from this tool. Doesn’t build pressure to push the liquid to smoke it out

Works Great

Put this little smoke machine to use right away after fully charging it. Nice small and portable form factor. The craftsmanship is nice, not cheap looking or feeling. It produces smoke right away. It does not create alot of pressure so there no real danger of creating a leak while searching for one. That being said, it does take slightly longer for it to really fill an evap system so have a bit of patience when using. This machine is very light weight compared to the older machines. And it's all self contained. I thought i might have some type of regret after making this purchase but as much as i try.... Not one that i can think of. Doesn't take forever to charge, extremely portable, and just kind of a bad ass little unit!

Great little wireless smoke leak detector

9/29/2023 - This product works well just as advertised and comes complete with a bottle of smoke solution, several plugs, and various fitting/adapters to connect up to exhaust pipes, intake pipes, and vacuum lines.

It holds charge very well (I think I charged it once or twice in the few months I've had it) and it being wireless is one of the reasons I chose this product over others, because it can be used beyond just cars.

One thing to note, I believe it only produces 1 PSI, which might not be enough for all applications, but this device has already paid for itself in saving me time helping to locate exhaust leaks, and boost/vacuum leaks. Some of the exhaust leaks I found were in places that would have been extremely tough to pinpoint without a tool like this. I'll update my review if anything changes 👍

An honest review.

I have been in the automotive industry for about 20 years now. I have never seen a cordless smoke machine before. This thing looks amazing! One of the coolest pieces of equipment I have ever laid eyes on. The build quality is really nice as well. From the materials used to the button and backlight, everything looks high end. So why not 5 stars....

The smoke output is very low. I wouldn't go as far as to say terrible but definitely not good. There is no comparison next to my old snap-on unit. Yes the snap-on machine is thousands but it has paid for itself many times over. If the machine can't find the small leaks than what's the point?

If you don't want to cough up the bucks for a high end unit. Or if you need the cordless feature. This is a great choice.

If they ever get the smoke output up to par with the big boys, I would be first in line to buy one.
