Digital Hair Removal Warmer with See-Through Lid and 14oz Pot

The unit will not maintain its temperature. It resets within 5 mins back to off over and over I’ve had the unit for two weeks and continuously had the problem. I’m going to return it

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.

This wax warmer works amazing for my at home waxing use. I’m very happy with this product. The wax heated up within 30 min and stayed consistently warm for my entire waxing session. I have used it for both hard and soft wax. The temperature reading shows you how hot the warmer is which is a really great feature to prevent the risk of burning your skin and keeping the wax at a consistent temperature. I recommend to anyone, 5 stars!!

Excelente calidad. Fácil de limpiar. Buen sistema de temperatura. Recomendable

Esta bonito, aunque yo lo compre para otra función, no me da tanto calor como necesito, pero supongo para lo que fue hecho esta bien
