Thread: Chavuet 1700 vs American DK 1700 Fogger

Thought you guys might like the comparison.





American DJ




Chauvet




Actually I'm surprised in the results. The DJ is a true 1700 watt. It took a good 2 minutes longer to heat up and the smoke output wasn't a whole lot more.

That was cool to see. Thanks.
A couple questions, how long would each model output until it stops to reheat ?
How long did each take to reheat and be ready for the next cycle.

Using a "Kill-a-Watt" power meter I measured 1448 watts while my American DJ 1700HD heated.
A bit short of 1700W, I don't think the pump takes 200+W but will check next time I have the chance.

P.S. If you change the title from DK to DJ people will have better luck finding this thread when using the search function.

If only you could loan me one of those.

Thats a good question. Sadly I only calculated the reheat difference between the two. The DJ was 7 seconds longer

Again, I never measured that way. I can say the DJ was about 10 seconds faster.

Whoops! Thanks!


My only problem is I can't get the 1700 DJ to use the timer on the remote! It would only do manual. No idea what I'm doing wrong
