Review (4/5): Good warming device. Works nicely with massage oil/gel. Bit pricey.
This device is very similar to wax warming devices. It matches some higher end wax warmers, with the variable temperature control (some low cost wax warmers have an on/off switch only). The aluminum warming pot seems to have thinner wall thickness, though. The warming/melting pot is very light weight.
Wax warmers, with variable temperature controls, range in price $20 - $60 (with some on sale for under $20, and some 'professional' level units considerably more expensive). So, at $50, this is close to the upper end of the price range.
This warmer does heat up and maintains the chosen temperature. We tested the warming device with massage oil, and it does a credible job. A nice touch is a red light indicates the device is in the heating process to attain the selected temperature. It turns green, when it's at the selected temperature, giving a 'green light' to use the warmed material.
Overall, it's a competent warming device that seems a bit pricey. It does meet expectations, earning a 3.75 - 4 star rating.
