True Glow by Conair Paraffin Bath for Hands and Feet - Moisturizing Treatment With 1lb. Wax - Purple

It is small. I don't mind that because it's easy to store.It's also a very basic machine with an on/off button, a lid and no "heat shield" on the bottom (it's not needed because you are not resting your hands on the bottom anyway. Some people have complained that it isn.t large enough. I have large hands, but they are not very fleshy. I have no trouble submerging my entire hand up to the wrist into the paraffin bath. I did buy extra paraffin and found that adding 1 1/2 bars of paraffin makes for a deeper bath. I did not buy it intending to submerge my feet, but if that is something you want to do, you would be better off with a larger unit. The wax does take about 2 1/2 hours to melt completely. Once I realized that, I just remember to turn it on about 3 hours before I plan to use it. I do not find the heat to be excessive. Yes, it is hot....but you are dipping your hand in and out pretty quickly and the heat is therapeutic. I have never found it intolerable. I've noticed that after using the paraffin bath daily for a week, I not only have less pain in my finger joints, but my fingernails are not breaking as easily or peeling. Win/win. I did not waste my money on gloves. I use (and reuse) a zip lock bag. The paraffin is great quality, moisturizes nicely and, if you follow instructions and dip 5 times for 5 thin layers, makes a thick layer that easily peels off like a glove after about 15 minutes. All in all, I'm very happy with this inexpensive, no frills unit. Update 8/28/23 - Still very pleased with this. One tip for those who think the wax is too hot. I remove the lid once the wax is completely melted and wait 10 minutes to dip my hand. The wax cools just enough so that it is more comfortable on the skin. Hope this helps.

Machine came with about a pound of paraffin, I added another pound. It takes a couple of hours to melt, which seems like a long time - but maybe that's normal. This machine worked as advertised, but it's very small. I got it for my husband to use on arthritic hands/wrist but it is very shallow and doesn't cover the wrist...so I'm looking for another one that is deeper.

Great product in terms of size and price. For me, once the wax is melted, it’s not too hot, even when I dip my hand in with the power still on. My hand size is medium, and I can fully submerge my hand into the container. As for my foot, though I’ve never tried, I suspect it could only soak up to the ankle. It’s okay that it doesn’t fit my foot since I purchased it specifically for my hands. The unit is compact and lightweight, so I can keep it on my desk to melt the wax while I work on other tasks. Even when the unit is on, the exterior doesn’t get too hot, so I don’t need to worry about accidentally touching it and burning my hands while using my computer or reading. Overall, I like the unit quite a bit. However, there are two areas that I think need major improvement: Wax melting time: It takes far too long to melt the wax. When I first started using it, it took about 3 hours to completely melt the wax included in the package. Even after the first use, it still takes almost 2 hours to melt the wax each time I use it. Wax scent: The scent of the wax included in the package is extremely strong. I usually enjoy fragrances and have a fair tolerance, but this wax has such a strong scent that I could smell it even when it was still sealed in the package. Once it’s heated, the scent fills not just the room but also other rooms on the same floor. Despite these issues, I would still recommend this unit because you can always purchase wax with a milder scent once the initial wax is used up. However, I find the long melting time frustrating and would strongly prefer a faster melting option or even a feature to switch between high and low temperatures. I understand this might increase the price, but 2 to 3 hours is quite a long wait. If it could melt the wax in around 1 hour, that would be much more acceptable for me.

This is a good wax melter for arthritic hands. It’s messy, but I can’t see a way around that. It’s the nature of the product I think. But this melts it well and hold it at a good temperature.

This is a very simple, basic, and small machine. This would be good for a young teen; not an adult or anyone looking to use this machine for anything other than beauty. I am small, 5ft 2in and wear a size 5 ring. I cannot keep my fingers separated when dipping my hand. Which causes the fingers to stick together and creates a tear in the wax, so when you dip your hand again you ALMOST get burned (it was quite painful). I am returning it and have already ordered a different and larger machine for a bit more $$. (My wrist/hand look thick in the photo because I broke my wrist Dec 2 and had surgery- I ordered a paraffin wax machine at the recommendation of my physical therapist.

This is a small paraffin bath for hands. I have small hands and they fit, but there's not enough room to fully open all my fingers. I do like it doesn't take up a lot of space. Just an on/off button, no temp button. I've used paraffin baths before, and it is hot, but I have no issue dipping my hand in a few times before wrapping in plastic bags. If you have sensitive hands, just test it first. I didn't like the scented wax it came with, so I purchased 2 lbs unscented from another vendor. I used 1 1lb bag, and it was enough, but will likely add more so it covers the top of my hand as well. I turn it on and go back after about 90 minutes, and it is all melted. No big deal, just turn it on while you are still cooking, cleaning, etc.. and it will be melted when you go back to it later.

Very nicely made. Nice warm treatment Made my hands nice and soft

Purchased in December of 2023. Stopped working in April 2026. Ice cold and will not melt wax. Also the size of the “bowl” is way too small to effectively submerge your hands. Im an adult female and I have really small hands and short fingers. Compared to a previous wax spa I owned, this brand is too small. you have to contort your hands from the wrist to submerge into the bowl. Then you have to twist your hands around to get coverage all over your hands too to bottom. If you have arthritis or carpal tunnel this is counter productive to your ailment. Overall DO NOT BUY. Try another brand of spa that is a larger size.

Takes 90 min for the vax to worm up

it’s affordable & suitable for home use. you just need to plug an hour before you use

Cumple perfectamente su función, el tamaño es perfecto y es fácil de manejar.

The item received is already used. The box is not sealed and the wax is already inside the machine and dried out. Not recommended
