Salon Sundry Portable Electric Hot Paraffin Wax Warmer Spa Bath

We never got around to using it. It sits in the closet waiting for a brain storm.

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.

Great product and service.

This product is awesome. It takes about 2hrs to heat 6lbs of wax to liquid at 65C, and another 20 to cool back down to 53C before you dunk those achy hands. It's big enough to get a whole foot in there too, unlike the cheaper products out there. I use it for arthritic pains in my hands and wrists (I'm 32, WTF?!) and it eases the pain for a few hours. It also smells good and softens callouses (I weight lift a lot). You definitely will want to purchase the plastic bags for your hands that you put on after applying the wax, so you don't get it everywhere (it will firm up, but still be pliable and oily). You also want to get the insulating mittens that you put on after you do the plastic bag thing. The mittens keep the heat in and make the awesomeness last longer. Yes, I'm a straight dude - don't judge me, I like soft hands yo

Works well and heat feels good on arthritic hands but it doesn't last long even though I wrap my hands in plastic bags and bath towel. I leave it on for about 10 minutes but the feeling of heat subsides in about 5 mins. My hands are less painful overall so it must be helping. I set it up on an old microwave cart that I put in the bathroom. You need space for it and the only problem with the cart is it is too high if I want to dip a foot (one foot at a time would fit). I haven't tried that yet but would only move the unit to the floor before plugging it in as you don't want to spill any hot wax! I generally turn the unit on after lunch. It takes nearly 2 hours to melt 5 lbs of wax. I bought Paramed wax on Amazon. 6 lbs was about $25. It's good and very oily so no need to add mineral oil. I only added 5-6 drops of peppermint oil as recommended by my physical therapist. May try adding more but we do notice a slight odor from it. Not unpleasant, just something we are not used to. One thing I cannot tell is whether the interior is plastic or metal. My PT said to get metal as some plastic units leak. Inside and out is all white and when you tap on the inside it sounds more like plastic than metal. But it hasn't leaked after the first week. Overall, happy with it. But be aware it does take some dedicated space, and then commitment to use it regularly. It is easier to do one hand at a time unless you have someone to help cover your second hand. It would be hard to do both hands if you're alone. I do one at a time so I have the other hand free to use my iPad, TV remote or whatever. I believe the product was fulfilled by Amazon, but not sure. In any case, after 5 business days, it had not even been processed for shipping! I contacted Amazon and they expedited it but be aware if you use free shipping, that apparently also means you're at the back of the line for even starting to process your order! Pay for shipping if you're in a hurry. I had the wax within 2 or 3 days and it sat here waiting for the warmer! As others have noted, the instructions are a joke, written by someone with little knowledge of English. Another reviewer wrote out the directions, which was helpful. Also, go to YouTube and a couple of physical therapists have a very good video on how to use it. You must dip your hands or feet at least 5 times to get enough wax layer to provide enough heat. I sometimes do more dips. So my advice is to be aware it takes time to melt the wax, and time to use it daily, or whenever. If you don't have the time, this will just be another dust catcher. But if you can invest the time, it does seem to help arthritis pain. My PT said I'd notice more benefit over time as it reduces inflammation each time you use it.

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!

Getting a wax melting machine was recommended by my husband’s physiotherapist for his arthritic hands. We read many reviews and decided to try this one. It has been used everyday and has made a world of difference to my husband. Plenty of room for him to spread his fingers. The only thing is…. Make sure you buy some wax to use for when your machine arrives. It’s fairly big so we purchased a case and are all around happy with our decision

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
