Waxkiss 14Oz Wax Warmer for Hair Removal, Professional Wax Melting Machine for Women Men With Aluminum Pot And See-Through Lid

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.

We love this gadget! Once you find your tolerable temp, stay there. One or two degrees can make a huge difference. Heats quickly, cools quickly.

As an aesthetician, i really like this wax pot if you’re planning to use it at home. Its not bog enough if you’re planning to use it professionally as you will need a lot more wax incase you need to cover large areas

The wax warmer is perfect for use. The digital control knob is a little bit touchy to get exactly on a specific temperature but easy to use once you get the feel of it. Only thing that I don’t like is there is an auto-off feature. If you plan to use for continual periods of time, you need to shut it off and then restart manually to bypass the timed auto-off and keep the warmer running for extended use.

First time using this warmer I previously just use the microwave cup! So is a step up! Here is my take: i plug it in safe spot toss in beads, max out the temp then brought down to 135 my preferred temp for my face, but i had to gradually go up because since the A/C runs cold inside always! (SouthFlorida) it did not stay warm.. so at 205 it work best i put up 3 sections the put the cover on while i was pulling off the wax from my face!! And so on, that worked just fine! Also the initial warm time was 16minutes for about 2oz of beads!! Is way better that the microwave cup thing and i don't have to go back and fwd to the kitchen.. so overall is a fine lil thing for what it costs, now i be back in between a year to update this notes to see how far the lil thing will go on!! Am needed to do my face at least once a week sometimes i skip a week!! And i look like a lion 🦁 But it depends on my hormones! (PCOS) 🤦‍♀️ anywho i hope this helps anyone!!

Works well for making candles as long as you are trying to do one at a time. Easy to read the temp and see when the wax it at the right temp due to the green light that turns on. If you want to start a business use a double boiler as this can only make one candle at a time, but for wax melts, small art, or coatings it is great.

This one is my favorite out of the 4 I have used. The digital reading allows you to set the temperature accurately to what temperature works for you.174-176 is my preferred heat range. I like this one so much because it heats the wax evenly and once you figure out the temp setting you like, the wax is consistent on removing hair. I noticed with other wax warmers, the wax is inconsistent with removing hair. The same temp sometimes will, sometimes won't. This does every time. PRO TIP and low key warning: If you get wax on the warmer, oil (I use baby oil) will remove the wax easily. Warm or cold. BUT DO NOT use baby oil on the transparent lid. It will frost it over and make it look weird. Does not affect the rest of the item when oil is used on it.
