Customer Review: You Get Warm (Not Hot) Lather -- Obvious Design Flaws
Summary: 1 Stars
Mine produced barely warm shaving cream from Day One and never improved. I took it apart tonight after several months, and now understand why. The design is feeble. The lather moves through a disc-shaped, "flat tube" of metal which is adjacent to (and is supposed to be heated by) another flat, metal disc, which is connected to some simple thermostat electronics and then to the wall outlet.
There are several problems with this design. The first is that the thermostat is obviously inadequate and doesn't allow the disc to get hot enough to be effective. The second is that the transfer of heat from the heated disc to the "flat tube" bleeds off heat. Finally, the "flat tube" itself is made of a metal which isn't that great a conductor of heat. I held it with my fingertips and put a match to it, expecting to be burned and be forced to drop it in the sink in a few seconds, but that never happened; it just didn't get hot.
My guess is that due to the threat of fire, this product is designed to provide warm -- not hot -- lather. Not warm enough for me.
Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for my husband as a gift. He had been wanting one for awhile. It was great at first but quit working about 45 days after I gave it to him. Now I see that if I want to return it, I can only get a partial refund. Don't waste your money on this. I can't believe I just spent $100 on something of such poor quality. Lesson learned! Not happy about the product and not happy with the return policy. Before buying anything thru Amazon, check the return/refund policy!! This product is definitely not recommended unless you are wanting to throw your money away.Customer Review: doesn't work

I bought the hot lather machine by Conair and I have never been able to get the thing to work. So I took it back, bought another one thinking that one was just broke. I still can't get it to work. I really wanted one!Customer Review: cheap

The Conair Lather Machine is a great idea, but it doesn't get the lather hot enough. I stop using it after a couple of weeks. Its not worth the time to heat the lather that stays warm for 20 secondsCustomer Review: junk, absolute junk
