Does it really leak?
I don't think it leaks as much as others claim.  Noone states that it leaks through a crack in its body.  If some people do as I often do and fail to read the directions they might be missing an important step.  I happened to find a u-shaped plastic piece in the box.  Reading the directions, for once, I found that it is supposed to go over the hole on the back wall inside the unit.  If it is not in place and the unit is overfilled or you slosh around the wax too much, the wax most certainly will go onto your countertop or wherever you keep your unit.<br /><br />I made a living working outside in all seasons.  The extreme cold caused my fingertips to crack and bleed.  The warmth soothed my cold, aching hands when I got home from work and the paraffin softened my hands.  Now that I am retired, it gives me relief from arthritis and an affliction in one hand called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.<br /><br />Buy the unit.  You won't regret it.
