I went to use the melter and it worked with no problems! Time wise: I left the melter on while prepping my jars and when I was done the wax had melted all the way down. If you fill it to the MAX line it will be a little above the MIN line after melted. Overall a great melter!

I recently purchased this stainless steel wax melter and I am very happy with my purchase! This is a game changer for making large batches of candles for my shop. I was surprised at how quickly the wax melted down. Would highly recommend.

I’m a newbie to candle making and am thrilled to have my first real wax melter and not having to use a presto pot and ladle! The wax pellets melted beautifully, and yes, as the wax level got down under 10 lbs or so we had to tip the melter to get the wax out of the spout, but maybe that’s how all brands are? Seemed a bit wonky though. I was disappointed that the temperature dial isn’t very precise and is hard d to read, so it’s difficult to really know what temperature it’s set to. The other big disappointment was that the spigot dripped and leaked after we filled a pouring pot and closed the valve. We had to put a towel on the floor to catch the dripping wax. I’m really bummed about that. :( I was super excited to get this melter, but was really disappointed with the leaky valve.

I do wish the valve was not quite so high. Pouring 4 lb batches I had to add wax each time so it didn’t have too far to catch up. I also feel like the thermostat could have been off center from the spout. I love that I can wander around and do other things while the wax melts, but the usable wax in it is far less than 19 lbs, just fyi. More like 10 lbs from max to the spout.

This think is amazing! Heats up quick and melts I think faster than my stove. It is a total game changer. I'm so excited, now to go make candles!
