For the price, it produced an OK effect, but not a high quantity or quality of snow.
It was louder than I expected. My main disappointment was that when you want more snow and/or thicker flakes, you actually get globs of suds. If you turn it down to eliminate the globs, you get just barely enough snow. By trial and error, I was able to find setting of fan speed and amount of snow liquid that gave an acceptable flake size and rate. For the price and for use once or twice, it was OK. I didn't have to pay a lot and the guests were surprised.
