Candle by the Hour 48-Hour Candle Refill, Eco-Friendly Natural Beeswax with Cotton Wick

Bought as a gift for my mum and she’s happy. Looks good and visitors always ask about it.

Very cute and such a unique idea for a candle. But seriously this is the most over priced item I have purchased in years! This candle is so small that I am actually mad at myself for buying and not heeding the warnings of other reviewers. I used a pen a coaster set for comparison of size. As you can see my coasters for glasses is almost the same size. So it is like buying a small pillar candle for $36.00 :(

I really like this candle because it looks very well engineered. Even my engineer husband liked it! It snuffs itself out when it reaches the clamp just as the description said. As with any candle that is lit, I would advise, do not leave it unattended. I decided to time the length of candle, it takes "about" 25 minutes to burn 1 inch of candle. Nice if you just want a gentle light in the background for a short period. Very well-made, I even dropped it by accident and nothing broke 😬. I'm very clumsy 😜.

Appearance wise I love it, but the candle burns way to fast which is sad to me as I do not feel like it would last 48 hours and very expensive to burn away that fast. Jar candles don't seem to burn off that fast and costs are much lower. The refills are super expensive almost same amount as purchasing a whole new one. So I was somewhat disappointed.

The beeswax is fine with no odor before or aftet. Not sure if it helps purify the air.. or how to check it's working. The knob to clamp on the wax is very difficult to open with one hand.. tried with two hands and it works with much difficulty. You end up clamping on the neck of the candle too early and squeeze the wax out of place. Maybe I recieved one with the spring too tightened? Too late for me to return.. but doesn't look too bad since it has that antique look.
