LANGXUN 1500W Snow Machine: features, specs and who it suits

The LANGXUN 1500W Snow Machine makes artificial snow for parties, weddings, stage shows and photography. It sprays a fluid that falls as light flakes, and it can be run from the machine itself or from a wireless remote. Here is how it works and what to think about before using one.

How a snow machine works

A snow machine heats or pumps a special snow fluid and blows it out as foam-like flakes that drift down and disappear. The fluid is sold separately for this model. LANGXUN says the machine suits both indoor and outdoor effects, with the 1500W power aimed at commercial and party use.

Power, tank and stand

The listing describes the machine as having 1500W of power, a 1.4 gallon (about 5.3 litre) fluid tank to extend running time, and a professional tripod stand. The machine can sit on the tripod to throw snow from above or be carried on its own with the built-in handle. It measures 11.8 x 6.7 x 5.9 inches (about 30 x 17 x 15 cm) and weighs 7.3 lb (about 3.3 kg).

Manual or remote control

Many snow machines have only an on-off switch. LANGXUN says this one offers both manual control and a wireless remote, so you can start and stop the snow from across a room, which suits performances and photo sessions.

Adjusting flake size and distance

LANGXUN says you can change the amount of snow and the size of the flakes using a knob on the machine or buttons on the remote. There are also two wind-speed levels that control how far the snow travels. Lower settings suit a small room, while higher ones carry the snow further across a stage or garden.

Setting it up

According to LANGXUN, setup is simple: pour in the snow fluid, switch the machine on, then use the knob or the remote. Two points from the maker matter:

• A black cloth sits at the nozzle. LANGXUN warns not to remove it, because the machine will not produce snow without it.
• The machine is not waterproof, so keep water away from the internal parts.

Build

The body is aluminium and iron, which LANGXUN says helps with heat dissipation and a longer lifespan. A machine that heats fluid benefits from that, as the heat has to go somewhere.

Who it suits

It suits event organisers, hobbyists decorating for the holidays, photographers and videographers who want falling snow in a scene, and venues such as clubs and stages. It is less suited to places where the machine cannot be kept dry.

What to check before you buy

• Fluid: the fluid is not included. Check which type the manual calls for.
• Surfaces: snow fluid can leave a residue on floors, so ask the venue and read the manual.
• Ventilation and rules: check whether indoor venues allow effects of this kind.
• Power: confirm the outlet and cable length suit where you will place the machine.
• Weather: keep it dry, as the listing says it is not waterproof.
• Upkeep: check the manual on cleaning the nozzle and tank after use.

The short version

• A 1500W snow machine with a 1.4 gallon fluid tank and tripod stand.
• Manual controls and a wireless remote.
• Adjustable snow amount, flake size and two wind speeds.
• About 7.3 lb with a carry handle; keep the nozzle cloth in place.
• Fluid is sold separately and the machine is not waterproof.
