Boston Tech BE-101 - Paraffin wax bath for hands and feet

A boon for R.A. pain relief - at least for me (you would need to try for yourself as your body may react differently to heat, wax, etc). Product arrived well packaged, on time and in good condition. Though it may have a plastic case, it still does the job and although I would have preferred a nice CNC'd Aluminium alloy body with quality dial and better looks and a more convenient shape for storing it, this will help to relieve my pain and was worth saving for.

I hate to be negative, but I sent this back untried. The working temperature for a paraffin wax bath, according to my local hospital, is 50C, but the lowest temperature setting on the device is, according to the manual, 65C. It then tells you, having waited 2 hours for it to warm up, to switch it off and wait another half an hour or so until the temperture falls to 50C - but there is no way to maintain that temperature or to test that it has been reached. It was also supplied with a European plug, which is not permissible under the UK code. When I asked the suppliers for help, they simply told me that I could order the UK plug version at another location on the web site. They did not address the temperature issue. As it stands, this is not fit for purpose, which is a pity, as it is well presented.

Good

very happy with this product

Arrived this morning Unable to use it as it has a European or USA two prong plug It does not mention this in the description This is going to cause problems with where to situate it IF we can track down the correct adapter My therabath from many years ago had a UK plug already fitted

Too messy

todo bien

arthrites mains et pieds

E' arrivato velocemente, ben imballato, con istruzioni in italiano, mi sembra funzioni bene, la comodità è che ha un display per la temperatura effettiva della paraffina. Comodo, non c'è su tutti. Spero duri, d'altra parte non dovrebbe avere sollecitazioni particolari.

Modifico la recensione perché il venditore, dopo che l'articolo di 1 anno di vita ha presentato un problema, lo ha risolto ( dopo qualche difficoltà iniziale). Confermo la validità del prodotto, che non ti fa guarire, ma aiuta più di quanto mi aspettassi.

Hace poco, me comentaron los beneficios de la parafina para los temas de artritis y artrosis. Así que, como por probar no perdía nada, le regalé este aparatejo a mi madre, que es de las que tiene las manos deformadas por esta enfermedad y siempre está con dolor de manos. No puedo de momento opinar sobre su efectividad a largo plazo, pero yo también lo he probado para ver cómo iba y la verdad es que sí que logra mitigar algo el dolor (¡ojo!, ayuda un poco pero no va a curar nada ni es la panacea). Lo primero que hice fue subir la temperatura al máximo, a 85 grados con la tapa puesta y en unos 45-60 minutos, se derrite por completo. Después, lo destapé y bajé a 55 grados, que es lo que recomienda el fabricante para aplicarla y lo deje un rato para que se enfriase. Una vez atemperado, se mete la mano abierta y con los dedos separados durante unas 6-7 veces dejando secar la parafina unos segundos entre intervalos y se mete en las bolsas de plástico y después en las manoplas. Tras 20 minutos, simplemente se aprieta la mano como quitándose un guante con el guante de plástico y la parafina sale como un molde. Seguiremos usándolo a ver si los resultados mejoran a largo plazo. Pero complemento, está muy bien.
