How to choose the best wax melter size
Starter (1.5L-5L)
Choose a small wax melter if you melt less than 5 lb of wax per session. The ToAuto 1.5L wax melter is our most popular entry model for soy and paraffin blends.
Studio (4L-15L)
When you sell candles regularly, step up to an 8L wax melter or 10L wax melter for fewer refills and more consistent batch size.
Commercial (20L+)
High-volume makers should browse our commercial wax melters with digital temperature control and bottom drainage.
Why ToAuto vs a basic pot?
- Integrated heating spout - smooth pour, less clogging
- Bottom drainage - no lifting heavy pots
- Precise temp control - protects fragrance and dye
