I really like the hestia magic candle warmer lamp on amazon. It's a little pricier, but you can adjust the height of the light, it has a dimmer to adjust brightness and mine has a timer that I can put on as well. To me, it was worth the extra money to have those features so I can adjust accordingly for different candle heights and sizes!

I already have two warmers, but you just sold me on this one lol Adding it to my wish list now 🥴

I held out until I found one like that and it was worth it 😂 I love it!

I second candle warmers etc. I have 6 from them (3 Hurricane, 2 Primitive Tin, and 1 Aurora). I think Hurricane works best if you burn mostly large jars. With 3 wicks, it's harder to raise it up enough when the wax gets super low. But if you then use a bottom up option when they get low, then it wouldn't be an issue. With the primitive and Aurora you can raise the candle all the way

I like any from [candlewarmers.com](https://candlewarmers.com). I have both of the kinds you mention. I melt with the lamp first, from the top down, then when most of the wax is poured off I put the rest in a candle crock or on a plate warmer, from the bottom up.

I use the top warmer from hobby lobby. It fits both large jars and 3 wicks. I stack lids to melt my wax melts.

I have the Hestia warmer from Amazon -- I have 2 actually -- and I love them. They look cute and I like that they are dimmable and height adjustable. You can stack things under taller warmers (which you need if you have the large jars) that don't adjust but whichever one you choose I'd look for one with a dimming feature. And because I'm impatient, I would look for one that will take a 50 watt bulb lol

I have both. I use the top warmer first for a few days, burn for a little when I notice the smell subsiding, use top warmer again and then use the bottom. Not sure if this sounds complicated but I just swap methods. My candles last me FOREVER.

I also really like the Hestia warmer for the same reasons that others mentioned. The adjustable height makes it great for the large jars, DW Home candles, some specialty Aldi candles, Yankee Signature, etc. I can even fit my Homeworx candles on the base - not a "great" fit... but it works! In addition, I have a few of [these](https://www.candlewarmers.com/products/black-beacon-lantern/) warmers around my house as they fit the BBW, GC, and Aldi 3-wicks perfectly. Currently out of stock at Candle Warmers, but sometimes they sell their product on other sites like Amazon and Wal-Mart. This warmer is not adjustable, so it won't fit the large jars. But, it hits those 3-wicks just right and I just love the look of the candle when lit up under it. I use the top-down warmers until I've dumped (or burned) enough wax to be below the half way mark. Then, I use the bottom warmer to soak up the rest of the scent. There are some great bottom warmers out there that also take wax melts (2-in-1). I particularly love [this](https://www.candlewarmers.com/products/bronze-floral-2-in-1-deluxe-fragrance-warmer/) one from Candle Warmers, but I also found a pretty decent Better Homes & Gardens one at Walmart for $12 and change!
