Our electric wax melt burners warm your favourite soy wax melts completely flame-free. There's no tealight to light: just pop a melt in the dish, switch on and let the gentle heat fill the room with fragrance. Looking for a wax burner electric style? Whether you call it an electric wax melt burner, an electric wax burner, an electric wax warmer or a candle melter, it's the easiest way to enjoy strong, long-lasting home fragrance.
Choose from compact plug-in wax melt burners from £9.99, which fit straight into a wall socket, to table-top electric wax melters with touch controls, colour-changing LED lights or even a Bluetooth speaker. Many glow softly like a lamp, so these wax warmers double as a cosy night light. Designs include owls, foxes, moon-gazing hares and Highland cows, plus sleek chrome and industrial styles.
Electric wax melt burner or tealight burner?
An electric wax melt burner heats the wax without a flame, so there is no tealight to replace and no soot. That makes a wax melt burner electric style a popular choice for bedrooms, offices and homes with children or pets, as long as it stays out of reach. A tealight burner gives a real candle flicker and needs no socket. Both melt the same soy wax melts, so you can own one of each.
Bulb or hot plate: which electric wax warmer?
Some electric candle warmers heat the glass dish with a small bulb, giving a warm glow as well as scent. Others use a hot plate, which heats the wax evenly and suits LED and colour-changing designs. Need a spare? Find replacement bulbs and wax melt liners in our accessories.
How to use a wax melter
Place your wax melt warmer on a stable, heat-resistant surface, add a few cubes of wax to the dish and switch on. Within minutes the melt releases its scent. When the fragrance fades, switch off, let the wax set, then pop it out and try a new one. Never leave your candle wax melter unattended, and keep it away from children and pets. Our burner buying guide compares electric, plug-in and tealight burners.
Electric wax burner questions
What is the difference between an electric wax burner and a wax warmer?
Nothing, really. Electric wax burner, electric wax melt burner, electric wax melter and wax warmer are all names for the same thing: a flame-free burner that uses a bulb or hot plate to melt scented wax.
How much wax should I put in an electric wax melt burner?
One or two cubes of a Snap Bar is plenty for most dishes. Don't overfill the dish, and add more only once the first melt has lost its scent.
Can I change the bulb?
Bulb-heated burners take a replacement bulb, so check the wattage on your burner first. You'll find 40W replacement bulbs in our accessories.
