MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH USE THE PARRAFIN BATH AND LOVE THE RESULTS. I SUFFER FROM PAINFUL ARTHRITIS IN MY HANDS AND IT GIVES ME MUCH RELIEF.....YOU DO HAVE TO PLAN AHEAD AND TURN IT ON ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE USING IT

It makes my arthritic hands feel so much better after it's use.

I loved it the first (and last) time I used it. The switch to turn it on broke after 1 use and I had to return it. Like I said, it was great while it lasted!

The only problem so far is that I can't get the wax off without pulling hairs.

I had an older model that I lost in a move. I loved it! This one is very hot...almost scalding. The wax leaked out the bottom onto my counter. Such a mess....Maybe a quality control issue.

I used the professional paraffin bath at a rehab center before I bought my own. This one is a very good price, it was on sale for [$] [...]. It does the job. It takes two hours to warm up the paraffin, but that doesn't bother me. It is safe enough to leave on 24 hours a day, so I try to use it every day or other day.I have arthritis pain in my hands and some tendonitis. I believe the paraffin baths have helped relieve the pain for me. I reuse the paraffin since I am the only one using the bath, therefore it is quite economical as far as replenishing the paraffin.Negatives? Well, it's not a professional model. The professional ones have a thermostat to regulate heat. This one doesn't and for me, the temperature is too hot. I have tried dipping my hands for a very short period of time and then dipping them more times. 20 maybe. I alternate hands too. This seems to help the heat problem. I do find the paraffin included with the spa, and recommended for replacement as too thin. It also sticks to your hands when you take it off, especially if you leave it on for a while. I have overcome this by putting olive oil on my hands before dipping them. This seems to work well, although not perfectly.I do find the objections of some of the buyers rather silly...after all what do you want for [$]? I think it's a good item for a great price.

Like I said, It takes a longtime to heat it up. I started the spa at 12:30 p.m. and the blue light never went on before our bedtime. This unit needs to be checked for abnormalities.

Not what I was looking for. Takes 2 hours to heat wax so that you can use it.

I am about to send back the 3rd one.The first one came one, melted the wax, and then refused to turn on ever again.The second one would not turn on at all.The third one turned on, melted the wax, and the wax leaked out the bottom all over my counter, dripped to the floor, etc.This thing is not worth it for free.[...]

I bought this to replace a Homedics Parafin Bath that I loved but stopped working after 5 years. That one was great. This one has only 2 settings, on the ready setting the wax is much hotter than what I was used to, the lid is flimsy and difficult to open. Overall I am disappointed with this product.
