waxkiss Digital Hair Removal Warmer with See-Through Lid and 14oz Pot

Excelente calidad. Fácil de limpiar. Buen sistema de temperatura. Recomendable

The wax warmer has been a game-changer for my spouse's beauty routine. Its quick heating time and precise temperature control ensure smooth and hassle-free waxing sessions. I highly recommend this wax warmer for anyone looking for salon-quality results at home.

I bought this not for cosmetic wax, but to melt hide glue for use in woodworking projects; specifically, for veneering surfaces. The temperature range seemed ideal - hide glue works best around 145-150 degrees F - and the description and reviews seemed favorable.The unit was reasonably well packed and apparently unopened (not a returned item), but there was inexplicably a small dent in the inner pot. This wouldn't affect the functionality at all, so I ignored it, but it was curious... The size was perfect for my application, and the removable inner pot meant that it would be easy to clean. The inner pot is aluminum, but it appears to have a hard anodizing or coating of some sort that makes it nearly non-stick in nature. I'm using it to melt glue, and the hardened glue just slides off without any need for scrubbing.The build quality of the unit seemed very good for the price. Obviously this isn't a laboratory device; it fits solidly in the lower consumer-grade segment. I probably wouldn't get this for a full-time professional gig (or I'd have a spare ready on the shelf), but for hobby purposes it's more than fine. The ergonomic design is good, it feels solid enough and has no tendency to slide or tilt during use, and in general seems like a well-designed product. I haven't taken it apart to check out the internals.Operation couldn't be easier: just plug it in and set the knob to the desired temperature. After a couple of seconds, it reverts to showing the current temperature rather than the setpoint; moving the knob displays the setpoint again while changing it. There's also an LED that glows red while the pot is seeking to the new temperature setpoint, then green when it has achieved the final temperature. This happens quite quickly - within a couple of minutes.As others have noted, this is a bit deceptive, because the outer aluminum pot - not the inner one in which the glue/wax is placed - is not well coupled thermally to the inner pot. This means that although the heating area has reached setpoint, it may be quite some time before the actual contents reach this temperature. In fact, if the lid isn't in place, the substance being heated may never reach the setpoint. This is because of the poor thermal coupling between the outer heating vessel and the inner pot containing the product to be warmed.It turns out that there's an easy way to make this *much* better - just put a small amount - only about 1/8" of water in the outer pot. This is blatantly against the instructions, but I examined the unit carefully, and the outer pot is completely water tight, so there's no danger of water spilling into the guts unless the whole unit is up-ended. This small layer of water provides much better thermal coupling into the inner pot, and it then warms much more quickly and maintains temperature far better. I can now add more glue to an already melted pot, and it will bring the new product up to temperature in just a couple of minutes.So, with the exception of what amounts in my mind to a design flaw of inadequate thermal coupling to the inner wax pot, this product does everything it's intended to, is very easy to use and clean, and seems well-constructed. For less than 25 bucks, it seems like a great deal to me.

Initial pic shows a different item. Bad quality of plastic. Cover doesn't sit properly. Stopped working after one time use.

Bought this to do Bicycle chains. Works great. Like the temperature setting that gives you your set point when setting the temp, then after a few seconds, reverts to actual pot temperature. That said, I suggest waiting 5 or 10 minutes due to the temp sensor not actually being inside the melted liquid. Allow the temperature to stabilize as you see fit. No harm in letting the chain to soak a bit-if that is your use. Further use by me will include using a temperature probe in the liquid to see how long it takes the contents to stabilize.
