    Hey there,

    Sorry to hear about that, I've read extremely mixed reviews on the repiti-fogger and this seems to be one of the most common. For £55, I just couldn't find a reasonable exvuse to get myself to buy one, the only pro it had has easy set up. So I started to look online for alternatives.

    Long story short, I ended up buying my own fogger, and it works perfectly. The actualy unit has that cheap that, if it ever broke, I could easily replace it for under 10$.

    ^ If you don't know how to build one yourself, I recommend that you read my thread, it's an easy tutorial for people like me, who had absolutely no idea how to do DIY stuff, to set one up.

    There are only 3 steps (well, basically two) and it is 3/5 of the price of the reptifogger. My own costed me in all £21, I could have gotten it cheaper had I of bought the tubing in a different place, so hypothetically, it could have been £16-18

    By the way the fan can be bought on Amazon and is a exact replacement.

    Here is the link.

    I need to add to this. Mine is actually starting to make a LOUD noise for about 4-5 min after i turn it on. IT goes away after that...but its really anoying and sounds like its struggling although the output it just as good as when I first got it. I bought it last year. Any ideas?

    The fan is wearing out.
    These units are best wen they are on a controller and not running 24/7 or long periods of time.

    you can get a replacement fan pretty inexpensively from amazon.
    I bought 4 of them since they were so cheap.
    and they are not hard to replace DO NOT GO TO RADIO SHACK! their fan might be the right size but it is not the correct voltage.
    The correct voltage is 24Vdc not 12!

    I emailed Zoomed and they just sent me a replacement fan. They would have sent me two if I wouldn't have said that one fogger I just bought and the other I had for a year.

    Also the fan they sent was a little different in that it had 9 blades instead of 7, not sure if that makes a difference on how long they last.
