Homedics ParaSpa Paraffin Bath for Hands and Feet-PAR350-MYA

Unfortunately, the product has both quality and functional issues: The edges of the unit do not align properly, and the white base does not fit securely in its space. The wax has not fully melted even after 4 hours of continuous use. Although the green light indicates that it is ready, this is misleading and raises safety concerns. The unit appears to be single phase, which may explain why the heating is so slow. A three-phase unit would not have this issue.

Bought this to help with my hands that now have arthritis. Playing the piano with arthritis is hard and I've tried everything and this was my last idea. It does take 3 hrs to initially melt the wax so plan ahead. After that, 1.5 hrs. It really makes a difference. I've tried twice now and it really helps my hands and fingers. I was really impressed and highly recommend. I also tried it on my feet and yes, I can put my foot in there, no problem. I used as a facial on my face and it left it nice and soft. It's like a spa at home. My only caution is that I find the wax hot on my fingers. Maybe they are more sensitive (I have Reynauds) so I have to dip quickly and carefully because of that. Highly recommend.

El aparato llegó en buenas condiciones, funciona bien, la parafina queda completamente líquida, no tarda mucho en derretirla, Lo malo es que se solidifica rápido después de apagarse.

I had a paraffin treatment at the spa as I was considering purchasing an expensive model. The reviews on this weren't the best but she said it is what she uses (at home) and it is just fine,soI got it. It melted the wax the first time within 2 hours. The temperature was hot but not unbearable and it worked just fine (so far). I like the 'ready' light and it really doesn't need a temp adjustment dial. The lid isn't the most secure, but if you fiddle with it, it stays on just fine. My hands, for whatever reason, look 15 years older than the rest of me-I even considered fat injections but got scared and they last only 3-6 months at $500 or more a pop! My hands look better-not 15 yrs younger, but better and are much softer. Use a lanolin based lotion before dipping. Also,there is a fantastic paraffin hand cream on the market-it is awesome! Don't remember the name, but got it here and it is in a dark pink tube. Between the two, hand are looking much better-can't wait to do my feet! Good value for a basic machine.

Arrived in good condition. Havent used yet, but all new and came with the parrafin wax beads. Will need to use a converter power plug in Australia.

So, I was with so many on here who was shocked at the difficulty in melting the wax BUT after you melt it the first time, it melts within an hr or so after. My opinion, it’s hard to meltdown the first time, due to the hardener they put in it, to form the block. Let it melt throughout the night+ and obviously don’t put the tray in, until it’s melted. Then after first melt, the tray won’t matter that it’s in, it will melt and quickly. Again, I almost packaged it back up and returned it so give it a chance.
