I love candles and my favorites are not cheap so I saw this and thought it might be a way to scent my home without having a candle burning, extending the life of the candle. I was right! I have one in my kitchen and one in my bedroom. My grown children saw mine and wanted one, so I gifted them each one. Then, one day my daughter was telling me that my teenage grandson loves to have a candle burning in his bedroom. Now, I've seen his bedroom many times so I laid awake that night picturing a burning candle being accidentally knocked off his dresser and landing on the pile of clothes on his floor that looks like a landfill, turning his room in to an inferno so I did the only thing that made sense. I bought him this same candle warmer and make him swear he would never light a candle in his room so that I might be able to sleep well at night so this was a win/win. I love the automatic shut off. I suggest buying one for yourself and a few to gift.
