Customers Say
The hand wax machine offers soothing effects for dry skin and joint pain relief, but has significant heating time and usability issues. Many users appreciate the results but are frustrated by the lengthy wait for wax to melt.

Not fit for pupose to be honest
This hand wax machine has two major probelms. Firstly it takes at least 8 to 9 hours to heat two bars of hand wax. It does not heat up more than two and a half bars at all. Secondly the "manual" is in a microscopic font and requires a magnifying glass to read and there is no online manual ( pdf ). I do not recommend this product.

Does not melt Rio Wax
Does not melt Rio Wax at the default settings. No indication of what temperature is required, or whether the "ping" you are supposed to wait 3 hours to hear has pung

Just what we wanted for Christmas
Sexwax, 55 - 64, 43 MILLDALE ROAD, LONG EATON
Takes a lot longer to heat up
Bought this to ease joint pains. States that 450g wax takes 90 mins to melt , can take up to 3 hrs , two packs can take around 4 hrs . I assume it’s duff so will be returning it

Does exactly what it’s supposed to do
Not quite big enough, ok if you have small hands and feet, but if you are a bit bigger not so good.
Woofer, 45 - 54, Chestfield
good value, needs more was
got this at a good price, so happy with the value. Found out it needs more wax to be able to dip the hands,problem then is it takes forever to melt all the wax (unless your able to leave it somewhere plugged in all the time)
