Antari S-500 Snow Machine

This appears to be a better built machine than similar machines from other manufacturers that we have had (and broken) in the past. The effect is strong and the machine is quite. One small annoying feature is that when you set it on timer mode, it starts with the 'off' duration. Not so bad if it's a minute on and a minute off as you only have to wait 60 seconds, but if you have 5 minutes off and a minute on, you have quite a wait before you can confirm it's working. With DMX, you can start and control the effect on cue as required. The snow head is plastic and we have seen some that are metal, which would be preferable, but with careful handling, I see no reason why this won't last for many years.
