works great but heats slowly [SEP] definitely a good product for those just getting into waxing or basic at home waxing my only complaint is if you have a full pot of wax it takes a very long time to heat up all the way i usually turn it on for about an hour and then lower the temp that way the wax is melted through the core but has time to get less liquidy not a huge problem if you plan accordingly and i would rather that over a warmer that was too temperamental or a fire hazardside note i am an esthetician and have the gigi double warmer with more settings at work which heats up faster so i am comparing against that
