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.

Awesome product. I was able to fit an entire box of pellets in the machine. Takes about 2 hours to melt completely from 3/4 full at 60 degrees. Turn it on when I get home ready to go when I need it.

Mucho, mucho retraso, para llegar; no funcionaba , me comuniqué, mucha espera para una respuesta, lo regresé el 20 de julio, hoy 5 de agosto y aún sin respuesta de mi reembolso. Fecha del pedido: 21 de junio!!!! Y sigo sin mi reembolso.

Thank you CaVaBien Salon in Calgary for your review. I figured if a professional Salon uses this for their customers then it ought to be good. And it is! Very pleased with this wax warmer. Priced well for quality. I used a mix of Homedics paraffin wax and Karite lavender paraffin wax (purchased separately of course) Melted nicely, temp easily adjusted and maintained. Paying a little more compared to cheaper models will not disappoint. Enjoy the therapy!

I just put it on the lowest setting. Which is 50 degrees. It melts the wax perfectly. And it’s a very large size. I was so happy to find this as I wasn’t keen on paying the bigger price for the other one. I use my hands a lot for work and I had an injury from a fall. I find this has been helping me a lot to heal

Quality product, as describe, large enough to do feet as well
