I absolutely love my TherabathPro Paraffin machine. For many years I had used a small version of this type of machine and thought that was great. This winter when my old unit quit I looked at Amazon and found this TherabathPro unit with its much larger opening that allows you to treat feet and ankels and elbows in addition to just your hands and wrists. I use the machine to treat the aches and pain of arthritis and in the winter the paraffin helps treat dry winter hands. The construction of this unit is top of the line also with no interior seams to crack or seperate...I would recomend to anyone in the market for a hot paraffin machine.

This is a product that must stay on all the time for daily use, so I am glad that I spent the extra money for a professional model with a "smart" thermostat. My wife has arthritis and it's worth it to see the smile on her face after she immerses her hands in the paraffin. It's a great relief to her.

I won't fear next winter now that I own this paraffin bath - the paraffin really warms you up and moisturizes your skin whereas hot water dries the skin out. Makes my arthritic joints feel better which is really the main reason I purchased it. I prefer the scent-free because I don't need my whole house to smell like peach or whatever scent there is even though other posters appreciate the "subtle aromatherapy". The scent-free really has no smell whatsoever. About the only thing I would improve on is if this unit had a timer to shut off and on daily but maybe that's being too picky - once the wax comes up to temperature it probably costs pennies in electricity to keep it there.

I purchased this item for my wife and she loves it. The paraffin wax is soothing to the skin and even mild joint discomfort. I purchased the foot care kit at the same time and it enhances the experience. Since the foot care kit is larger and the hand/foot is wrapped in a plastic bag anyway, she just uses the foot bag for her hands. If you run out of bags, you can use Saran wrap until you get more. The only drawback to this item is that since it is a professional model, it has no provision for a quick warm up as it is designed to be constantly on. Since we have space, it isn't an issue for us but, since it takes hours (yes hours) to melt the wax, it would require good advance planning to put it away between uses. If this is an issue, a cheaper non-professional model would probably be a better choice. This is my only reason for only four stars since it sits in a corner of the family room. My wife gives five stars.

I bought this item as a gift for my mother who suffers from painful arthritis in her hands. She never complains about the pain, but one day she was treated to a professional manicure. She raved about how the hot wax treatment at the salon relieved the pain in her hands. As soon as I heard that something as simple as hot wax could bring her relief I looked for a home unit that she could use on a regular basis. This is the unit I selected and I had it shipped to her as a gift. It takes awhile for the wax to melt the first time you use the unit, but once it is melted you leave it plugged in (it is always on) and the unit is ready to go whenever you need some arthritis pain relief. You can use it for your hands or feet or elbows. There is a cover to keep dust and grime out of the hot wax. And, best of all, it works as well as the professional hot wax treatment at the salon. If you are in need of a great gift for someone who suffers from arthritis, select this. They will be very happy to be pain free.

I love this product! I have had carpal tunnel surgery and now have arthritis in my hands. Besides, I live in the Northwest and get very dry hands in winter. I use this product almost every day and the hot wax feels so good on the joints and muscles. It also leaves the skin silky and soft. I leave it on all the time. (I re-use the wax since I use the product daily.)

I published several featured health articles at the online magazine AssociatedContent about the benefits of therapeutic paraffin bathing after using this product. I have an uncommon type of arthritis which pain medications do not bring pain relief. The moist heat therapy of this product is a consistent, medically recommended, temperature and it has a conditional lifetime guarantee. Nothing relieves my arthritis pain as well as this product.

I have owned and used it now for about a year. I leave it "on" 24/7 so I can immediately immerse my painful hands in the warm paraffin whenever the pain hits - and I could not be happier.

It is also versatile: My daughters use it to do paraffin facial spas. The moist, warm paraffin therapy is also great for dry, chapped skin of winter and on roughened hands of working in the garden or shop. It's a great pedicure soak, because the basin easily fits my husband's shoe size 10 and 1/2 feet to relax in.

My cousin, who has osteoarthritis badly in his hands, tried the TherabathPRO at my home this summer and bought one online from amazon.com before leaving so it would be waiting at his house!

I own a Day Spa in the Heights and we already have one of these babies. We also have another one by a different manufacturer that when unplugged and replugged in, the machine has to be reset each time. What a drag if one of my therapists forgets to reset the on switch. This is so much better. No on/off switches to deal with. Just full on. The temp is nice and hot even if it takes ages to melt (a good two hours at least).
So we just leave ours on nearly all the time. The only time we unplug it is to move it from room to room. The one I own was a 2nd hand, coming from the previous spa owner who left it. I've owned it for 5 yrs, unsure how long she had it before... and it's still working!

I bought this machine because my husband has psorasis on his fingertips. We had tried every prescription cream out there, without any success. He uses this twice a day and his fingertips are completely healed. I use it regularly to combat dry winter skin on my hands and feet. It is incredibly simple to use, well made and I would highly recommend the unit.

My wife has arthritis and this product gives some temporary relief to her pain. It seems to be quality constructed and works as stated in the literature.
