Salon Sundry Portable Electric Hot Paraffin Wax Warmer Spa Bath

What a buy! This wax heater looks and performs exactly like the one used by my physical therapist, with the same temperature controls, shape, form, and function. I leave it set on 50 and it draws very low power. I am dipping my hands two or three times a week: 1. using one hand, do five dips, hold for five seconds in the wax, hold for ten seconds outside the wax, repeat for five good layers 2. cover with plastic bags then wrap with terrycloth towels 3. rest for ten to fifteen minutes before removing plastic and wax 4. use soft wax for squeezing exercises until wax is stiff This gives me a lot of relief of arthritic pain in my thumbs. There is a nice platform for the bottom of the bath that keeps you from touching the hot surface below. Very reasonable price, excellent product. Mine has been running 24/7 for several months without any problems. I have large hands and the bath is comfortably large for one hand at a time. Big thumbs (ouch!) up!

I read a lot of iffy reviews before I bought this. Just want to say the product arrived packed very well, was brand new in the box, and works great. The only "con' is that the temp setting doesn't actually tell you the temp... it's just a number. If you really want to know the actual temp, you need to have a laser temp gun. When I initially melted the wax for the first time, I set it on "65". The wax melted in 2-3 hours. I keep mine set on "47" to actually keep the wax melted. When I'm going to use it, I kick the 'temp' down to "44"...and wait about 10-15 minutes for the wax to cool down just a little. It will start to harden up just a bit and get a bit of a film across the top of the wax...Then it's perfect. If I leave it on "44" for too long, the wax will start to get semi-hard. If I try to stick my hand in at the "47" setting, I find it just a bit too hot. It helps a LOT with my arthritis. Feels so good... It also helps with my dry hands. I put a little bit of olive oil on my hands before I dip them. I have this machine for home use, and am using with Therabath Professional wax, no scent. Took 4 bags to fill it. I peel the wax off after and put it back in the pot, since the machine is just for my personal home use.

I just received this yesterday. I spent week researching and making a decision on which one I should buy. My only criticism would be price because it doesn't come with any accessories so by the time you buy the wax & other accessories adds about $30 or more to the price. I save money by purchasing pot holding mits from Dollar tree . I made a good decision on buying this in spite of the additional cost . This is my reasoning. One of the important things for me is the handles as I need to move it which would be dangerous with hot wax. I didn't see handles on any of the ads for other similar products unless you paid a lot more. The depth is good I can put my hands up to and including my wrist or more if I choose to put more wax in it. I put only 3 lbs of Wax in it. I could have put more probably 4 lb which is recommended. The temperature gauge, I think is important to give me some control over the heat level.other people have said it gets too hot and I haven't quite figured out yet how to get the right temperature. My theory, having used it only once, to heat it up fast is recommended then, then turn the temperature down. I turned it down below what's recommended and then leave the lid off and let it cool to the air. I think this would not be necessary if I didn't set the temperature so high in order 2 heat the wax quickly. I think next time I will set it on low and let the wax melt slowly so that it doesn't get so hot that it requires a cool down. The trick is knowing which is quicker heating it high to melt quickly and taking the time for to cool or setting it on the low temperature thereby taking extra time to heat the wax. I'll post that result when I know more. I am very pleased with this item. I did excessive comparative research before purchasing.I congratulate myself on my excellent choice& the company on producing really great product. Also it was delivered quickly. 3 lb of the wax beads by wexel sp? Heated up in a little over 1/2 hour. I got the cheap plastic cozies plastic covers for hands and feet. Bad choice they're just a bunch of flimsy plastic bags no hand or foot shapes or ties. I haven't tried my feet in the salon sundry yet. I wear a size 7 women's. When I hold my shoe over it, I estimate that size 7 + 2 inches would fit nicely.

This is a Nice Machine that works well. However the instructions are not very helpful for first time users. They did not tell us when it was appropriate to place in the tray guard (or what ever you wanted to call it). To be honest it worked fine without it anyways. The only other thing that was weird was that the machine does not go down in even increments as far as temperature goes. For example in the directions it says to heat to 65 degrees, then lower to 45-55 when dipping hands or feet. I was easily able to reach the 65, but the closest to 45 I could get was 44 and the closest I could get to 55 was 53. It's like it can't count down properly. It still heats fine, and is still very usable. I had my family use it the other night and we were able to get 3 hands covered with 2 lbs of wax , however this was kinda close to the bottom. I'd recommend going with 4 lbs to be safer away from the bottom which is hot, the guard will also protect you if you use it, we just avoided touching the bottom till we could figure out how to better use it. Overall we are very happy with it. I recommend getting it as it's very easy to use, and if you want a good wax try the Therabath Paraffin wax we got the vanilla cupcake one and my mothers dog was begging to have what was on the table that everyone was dipping into but him.

Pain relief! Thanks! I can keep working with arthritic hands... the temperature guage is a must. It's not entirely accurate (I checked it with an electronic cooking thermometer), but close enough. The wax melts completely and evenly (unlike the last, cheaper wax heater I bought -- and returned). I see that several people have said the thermostat didn't last-- I hope that's not true-- great now, at a few weeks, will report again later. Doesn't come with wax/paraffin , but I already had some. Unscented works best for me.

I have had this wax warmer since the end of November (2016), and absolutely love it. The wax only takes about 90 minutes to melt completely at 65°C, and I turn down the temperature to 50°C about 75 minutes in, so I don't have to wait as long to stick my hands and feet in. There is usually a small amount of unmelted wax at that point, probably less than 8 ounces. After a hard day at work, I pamper myself. I first used a wax warmer at my doctor's office, while she constructed some custom hand braces. I was amazed by how happy my hands were, even after only 10 minutes (after 20 minutes of this PERFECT therapy, I just want to go to sleep because it's VERY relaxing)! I have four issues with my hands: tendinitis, carpal tunnel, arthritis, and stretched ligaments (in my thumbs); as well as tendinitis in my elbows and Achilles' heels....yes, I'm what you call "a hot mess"! The wax tank is large enough for hands AND feet, which is the main reason I bought this model. The fact that it's less than $60 is a BONUS! I filled it with all six pounds of wax, in order to dip my feet in deep enough to cover my whole foot. There are some awesome scented waxes out there, but I recommend only adding one pound of the scented wax along with four or five pounds of unscented wax, which makes the scent of the vat perfectly mild (in my humble opinion...too much of a scent can be nauseating, especially if you're sensitive to strong scents). I use it almost every evening before going to bed, cuz I deserve a little daily reward after working my tush off at work, and so should you! ;-) Another bonus with the scented wax, is that it fills the room with the mild aroma. Visitors may think you're baking something special for them, though.

I received my paraffin wax warmer almost two weeks ago and so far I love it. It heats the wax much quicker than I had expected. It has a temperature control that allows you to turn it up for melting the wax and then down so that it is a comfortable temperature when using. I bought this primarily to use for the arthritis that I have in my hands and I must say that is helping to take away the aches and pains. The only odd feature about the machine is that the temperature control increases and decreases in three degree increments, ie 50, 53, 56, 59, 62 up to 65 degrees. Not sure why but I find this odd. Time will tell how durable and how long the life of this machine will be. I am hoping it will last a long time.

After researching all the reviews of all the listed parafin wax warmers on Amazon I chose this one because of the descrete look and ergonomics and the metal interior. It arrived quickly through Prime and I was immediately satisfied with the look and quality of this product. After using it multiple times and appreciating the ease of viewing and using the digital readout temperature control, I am a very, very satisfied customer. It blends in on the bathroom counter and is very easy to access. Great purchase at what I believe to be a great price.
