Long sought-after bath works great
By Cindy
I've been looking for one of these for a while. For some reason, they're no longer in stores anywhere or even online.

My hands get very dry in the winter and my feet always are, so I've been wanting something that will work better than lotions or body butters.

I really like the way this makes my skin feel, though it seems to work better if you put lotion on before dipping in the wax. It makes the wax come off easier and soaks into your skin. Sometimes my hands are sore from keyboarding and the warmth from this really feels great, too.

The only con I have for this is that if you want to use this for your feet, it is a little short. I wear women's 6.5 shoes and that only leaves a couple inches of room left in the bath. I suppose you could double-dip if your feet didn't fit in one go, though. The bath is very light, even while full of wax.

good but comes with smelly wax
By Marion
The machine works very well & the temperature is totally adjustable. I would have given it 5 stars if it hadn't come with horrible smelling wax. Even after getting as much of the wax as I could out of the machine & refilling it with unscented wax, the smell still lingers. If you are allergic to scents or just don't like the smell, don't use the wax that comes with it. Purchase unscented wax.

pretty good
By mb
High setting is probably too hot for your hands, but melt wax at this temp. Unplug after using or it will draw electricity and wax will be soft still. (A problem if children or pets nudge the lid off. Lid does not snap on but lies on top of tub rim.)

The heating elements are "exposed" on the inside of the bath. This makes it hard to remove the wax for "cleaning" bcs it's wrapped all around the coils. It would be better if the bath were of a piece and elements were completely hidden. Will try to get a pic up here to show.

Wax is unscented. Mitts/booties are nice. Foot up to 9.5 shoe size. Get refill wax at WalMart/etc.

This product is also good for warming up your toes after a cold day! If you're careful, you can wrap everything up and pop into bed with the wax, liners, and booties.

Note: With my other wax baths, I have heated the wax just long enough to remove the plug (coils were hidden under the wax reservoir); then I have used a dull kitchen knife to scrape off layer that has discolored skin cells. No reason to throw out the wax and start with fresh if a little tweak will solve the problem....provided it's -your- skin cells and -your- feet that are going back in the wax!
