I originally got this for "Finger Crack February" but as an added bonus, it also helps my arthritis.This is spa quality, unlike the cheap $35 warmers, or should I say "burners." The cheap one I had not only took forever to melt, but was too hot to use and not adjustable. The Gigi melts very quickly and is fully adjustable. I put it on high, and the temperature is wonderful. It's big enough to dip my feet as well, wonderful on a cold day.The paraffin is readily available at Sally Beauty, but Amazon's price is better. There are different fragrances, none of which are overpowering or heavily perfumed. The peach paraffin that comes with it is very subtle. I hate sweet or strong smelling anything, so this works.Because this warmer is so easy to use (and feels so good,) it has already paid for itself because I dive in several times a week.The one I ordered arrived broken because of poor packing by Sally Beauty online, however, returning it to the store for an exchange was so easy, I didn't mind. The Customer Service rep even called ahead to make sure they had one they could put aside for me.The Gigi Paraffin Hand & Foot Protectors (plastic bags) are not included, so you may want to pick them up at Sally Beauty (about $8) before your Gigi is delivered. They are all the same size and work for both hands and feet. I reuse the paraffin and protectors because I don't share my warmer with anyone, so they both last longer.I'm glad I got this.
