TOAUTOＶ3 Wax Melter for Candle Making 12Lbs Large Electric Wax Melting Pot with Quick Pour Spout，80-212°F Temp Control for Bulk Production Candle Soap Business Fast Loading Easy Clean 110V /1100W

Updated review-After leaving my original review, Max from customer service reached out to me attempting to correct the issue. It seemed the unit was faulty and he made sure to expedite a new unit out to me. This new version (3 status lights, old one only had 2) works great. The temperature is slightly off when low on wax (harder to regulate the heat transfer which is understandable), but anything over 1/3 full it works great. This one holds the temp to about 10 degrees between heating and reheating. I set it to just about 190 degrees, it heats to around 200 and turns back on at 190. Melts wax very fast, but without any burning. Definitely a must have machine for candle making. Customer service is top notch.Original-When turned on, it goes into "heating" mode. Regardless of what temp you set the dial, the contents are over 200 degrees. Then it will go to "keep warm". It cools down to below 150 before kicking back on, and reaching over 200 again.

The media could not be loaded. There's nothing that I dislike. However I do wish it had a digital thermometer as far as looking at the wax motor itself instead of having to just assume of what temperature or actually take out the time to temp it. It does provide a great amount of access for bulk produce or production I'm sorry and it is great for getting an amount of candles done within a great amount of time compared to using a small wax motor that goes on the stove that takes about 4 hours just for 4 to 7 candles so definitely if you want to purchase this and you're thinking about both this is the answer no joke.

Works great! There is a build-up of residual wax at the bottom, but easy to tip the device and pour out.

Customer Service was very vigilant on my review and worked with me to find a solution. We decided to go with a newer model for my needs. One that includes a heated spout. It worked great and I am very satisfied with the newer model.ORIGINAL REVIEWI got this model because of the temp control dial, but the dial is useless and does not keep the product at that temp. You have to turn the dial up to a high temp to even get it to kick on. If you set it a lower temp it will kick into keep warm mode and in the keep warm mode the product started to solidify and clogged the spout. I lost a lot of product cleaning it out. There is a ridge around the edge that the product got stuck in and have to be pried out of. So if you are using this on more than one formula you will be wasting a lot of material. I do not know how the spout works for the product because it didn't work for me. In cleaning it though I tried it with water and the water did come out.This melter has a poor design that wastes material and will not keep the product melted at a certain temp and you have to set it to a higher temp to get the stuff to melt.

I ordered 2 of these melters. I am very experienced and have used plenty of similar machines before but I wanted ones that could handle a larger capacity and these seemed to be that. The first one burned my batch within the first use. The second one worked for the first 2 days and then also burned my batch. The temperature gauge doesn't seem to adjust appropriately. You can hear the "click" noise when turning the dial AFTER you're past the temperature you want to melt to.Another issue for me was the smell. It was quite noticeable and smelled like burning wires. Not expected and definitely not pleasant.Lastly, condensation very quickly built up in the tanks which is obviously not ideal for wax melting because then water is also dripping into the wax. Not happy at all with these. I ended up returning both and I really don't enjoy leaving not good reviews but there has to be better quality control with items like this. Not only did they not function as described but they burned $100 worth of material as well and wasted HOURS of my time.

This is my second one and so far it is working great. My first one seemed to work fine at first, and unlike a different model that I had previously, it did not burn my wax. I used this melter for beeswax (which I blend with a softer wax) which requires a higher temperature setting and I had to turn the temperature up all of the way to get it to come out of the spout. After a few months of use, the first one stopped working. I reached out to customer service and explained the problem, sent them a video and they sent me a brand new one. I am now combining the wax blend all together in this melter to make it a little easier to melt at a lower temperature and so far it is working great. It heats up very fast and seems to maintain the temperature well. Customer service is excellent. I will update this review after a few more months of use.

Here's an honest review of my "maiden voyage" with this wax melter for my candle-making business. I used a small 45-ounce load of wax for the first time using the wax melter. My dial does NOT have numerals to indicate a temperature setting. Mine simply says "min", "wax melt" and "max". I started with the dial on "wax melt" and nothing happened. I slowly kept adjusting the knob towards "max" and the heating light did not come on until I was at "max". From here, the wax started melting very quickly. I turned the dial back to "wax melt" and the heating light went out. I found that I needed to keep adjusting the knob to keep the wax melting without burning which was a hassle. The pour spout and handle were nice and the unit was lightweight enough to simply tip toward the nozzle to get every drop of the wax out. The insulated "jacket" was nice to prevent burns but the metal area around the dial and on/off switch gets hot. Love the locking lid on top with a large handle. The power cord is too short (3 ft) but I moved a table to the grounded 3 prong outlet and made it work. Cleaning the wax melter was ok. The wax melter is lightweight and easy to carry to the sink and wash out. I'll be looking for a different wax melter with this same capacity that has numbers as a temperature indicator on the dial and stabilizes at a set temperature. In the meantime, I can work with this. I like the large-capacity option that this offers.
