I purchased this item along with massage stones, as it was listed as an additional item at the bottom of the page. I assumed this was a special kind of warmer, due to it being labeled a 'Hot Stone Warmer'. When I received it I was disappointed to discover it's just a big crock pot. Really...I could have purchased one cheaper at a dollar store somewhere to serve the same purpose.
Over all, the quality of the pot itself is pretty good. It has a standard, one-setting option for preheat, and is sturdy. With water and stone weight, the handles didn't crack or pop, and it held up nicely. The lid, however, is cheaply made.
Upon using it for the first time, we followed what few instructions it did come with where it explains to place a towel in between the rocks and the bottom of the pot to prevent them from getting too hot. Even with the towel, the water became extremely hot and unit emitted a burning odor, although we never found anything burning. It may have just been a new use sort of smell. I let the entire unit, rocks and all, cool for over an hour to get it to a comfortable/tolerable stone temperature.
Anyway, my hubby loved the hot stone massage as a whole... ;) once they cooled down enough to use.
I'm not impressed with what it is for the money I spent. Seriously, just go find a cheap crock pot or an old one at a yard sale, you'll do just as good and probably have more temperature options.I like it so much. I work doing massage and this is a great tool for me. It makes me happy
