Helped me tremendously w mold spores
Had a leak in 2 spots in condo roof and it took 11 months in the pandemic to get 8 of our connecting roofs replaced. I had bad sheetrock in back of closet allowing a tiny amount of spores in. I was losing my voice periodically and sore throat and headaches. Once mold was found I cut a hole in sheetrock to expose the mold, My world was forever changed. The open wall cavity was open for approx 7 days to get a company in the cut out bad wood and replace then I used 3 coats of polyeurethane(?) to seal/encapsulate that area. For the next 11 months my life was pure hell. I would get infections in my right eye requiring 4 diff trips to ophthalmologist. My eye would literally seal shot with gook each night. I was told to try a dehumidfier, did not help one bit. Ultimately was told to fog house with ammonium bicarbonate. That did the trick greatly. My clear vision quickly returned from the 11 months of blurred vision. The nightly eye gook was instantly gone. It took my condo assoc sending over 3 diff mold companies and all wanting expensive contracts signed, etc. (For me personally I found mold inspectors/companies to be 99% untrustworthy). If you chose to go it alone...find the water source of your leak and stop the leak. Cut out and replace as much bad wood/damage that you can. Encapsulate any wood that can't be cut out. Then fog your house to kill the mold spores. I bought an $89 electric handheld fogger. My 1400 SQ FT condo needed approx 1/2 gallon to do one application. I would assume 1 fogging would be enough but I chose to do 3 lighter applications. The chemicals are a safe water based chemical. I put on a pr of swim goggles to protect my eyes and an N95 mask. Used an extension core. I opened closet doors, etc. I slowly walked my house fogging with it taking maybe 8 min. If you get the fogger too close to walls you will see runs down the wall that can be wiped off later. On my 2nd application I learned to stand farther away from walls and keep my arm swaying side to side. I would turn off the machine 4-5 times during the fogging to move extension cord and determine where to restart strategically to prevent runs. The mft of chemical told me to leave the house for an hour then I could go back inside my home. My now sensitive lungs , the fogging was strong 1 hr later upon my return. On my 2nd fogging, I fogged and left my house and stayed at a friends for the night. I have now done my final fogging of what I consider a decent application. If I were a mold company I guess I would come in with one heavy fogging. It did not leave any marks, etc on my wood furniture. If I had done 1 heavy application I would guess furniture would need to be wiped down. I paid approx $25/gallon for 4 gallons and approx $20 shipping ($125.00) In my 3 decent applications I used 1.25 gallons total leaving me with 2.75 remaining. The fogger will probably be used annually for insect control if I can learn what chemicals and what mask is needed for safety. The chemical is safe and effective. It is a disinfectant so who knows maybe I will use all of my unused chemical as a bi-annual fogging. Sure with I could have learned the power of fogging 11 months ago and saved me many sleepless nights of pain and discomfort. The chemical I used was Bio Cide Laboratories, They pushed more than needed with buy 2 gallons get 2 free. I was in a Tractor Supply store 2 days ago and saw Zep mold remover and disinfectant and it has the exact same ingredients. Price was $11/gallon. Irate this chemical 5 stars and rate this fogger 5 stars. I saw many very expensive foggers but my I think it was $85 - $90 fogger is working great. Just ensure when done fogging, rinse out tank w water, then run plain water through the lines for 2 min then run 2 min of distilled water through lines before storing your fogger

Paying For The Safety of Your Family Makes This A Viable Purchase
This pandemic has heightened my fear of germs and viruses. Although scientists have vacillated on how long the virus lingers on surfaces I am committed to proactive to keep my family healthy. I looked for a CDC recommended disinfectant. I dilute it with distilled water, turn it on and aim it high as I walk through my house. I've used it in my car and my grandson's toys. It's a little heavy when the tank is full, and the instructions recommend that it's not in use for more than 20 minutes. I found the same one online more than two hundred dollars cheaper. But with all of the fraudulent things happening with online shopping I chose to pay a little more. It can also be used with an insecticide in your yard for mosquitoes. I just hope it works until this pandemic is over.

Worked well - but only for 3 weeks
Seemed like a good value for the money. One worked well for 3 weeks and now won’t turn on. Another lasted 8 days. Two more are on day 8 and still working 🤞The return window has closed so I’ve contacted the seller. So far they have offered 80% refund. I’ll update here once they respond.

Not durable
Bought this forger on June 9, tried it and it smelled like something burnt.Today I tried using it again and it doesn’t work. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Low Quality
My first one arrived with a broken switch. Given COVID, it took over a month to receive a replacement. The second arrived without the black screw cap that closes off the back. I just took it off the broken one rather than calling for a replacement to be sent in another month. While it sprays quite well, the cord comes out of the body of the machine very easily. This exposes the inner wires that are within the cord, and I expect it will all break without many uses. If this was $60-$80, I might understand the low quality, but for this price, it should be made better.

Only Used twice so far
There are 3 things I was concerned about based on previous reviews. The first concern is to only run it for 20 mins at a time. My full tank, even on the lowest output, didn't last more than 6 minutes. But, also, the instructions doesn't indicate how long to rest in between. The instructions also are very, very bland ..only has + and - on dial with no indication of output???. The next concern was the connection of the tank, but with the fill valve, shouldn't have to screw/unscrew; however, if it get clogged as some has said, it would be necessary. Plastic on plastic doesn't like constant removal. It does put out a great distance without having to pump like a propane fogger.Use a quality extension cord...14 gauged or better per 50 ft...and start from the furthest point backwards. The last, is the concern about support beyond 30 days from the manufacturer/seller. Most youtube videos are spreading disinfectants, where mine is mostly for insecticides. Be mindful of wind conditions when using outside.

Not bad, but had some issues out of the box
Actual performance of the unit with the tank full of liquid is pretty good. Unfortunately, the power cable strain relief was not tightened on the one I got. So the first time I used it the power cord got tugged and a connection came loose inside the unit. It wasn't difficult to take the unit apart and reconnect, but not something I'd want my aging mother to have to mess around with. Only other gripe is that the stream of mist is frequently interrupted if the liquid is sloshing around the tank and the draw tube loses contact with the fluid. Not sure how to solve that but it is a bit annoying. Maybe play around with keeping the tank angled down.

Easy to use
Light weight and easy to use. Very fast to disinfect my entire office. I am in medical field and we disinfect exam room after every patient and the entire office twice a day
