• Flexibility — ability to use the 1-meter long cassettes end to end for large, linear installations of any size

• Delayed reaction — takes 45 seconds for mist to appear when first turned on
• Glare — lights under the flames are extremely bright when viewed directly
• Levellers — screw-in leg levellers are too short
• Programming — setting up the remote and balancing mist output can be tricky at start-up
