User features:
The Candle Maker +Plus takes care of the heating and stirring of your ingredients to deliver the perfect candle every time (subject to ingredients and environment). The intuitive display alerts you when it’s time to add ingredients and again when your candle is ready to pour. There’s no rush and no worries, The Candle Maker will guide you through the process and it will even wait for you if you’re busy elsewhere around the house; it’s a very safe and easy way to make great quality candles at home.
The +Plus offers all the ease of the Crafter Edition but with many added features;
- Small batch mode: This mode is the perfect for melting smaller quantities of wax and makes up to 2 medium sized candles in 20 minutes.
- Large batch mode: This mode is for making use of the supplied 1 liter jug to double the batch size. Makes up to 4 medium sized candles in 40 minutes.
- High heat mode: Take the temperature up a notch and easily melt harder waxes such as paraffin, palm and beeswax (results may vary).
- Variable “play” mode. This mode gives you the ability to ‘toggle’ forward and back through the various phases of the candle making process. For example you could use your own thermometer and fast forward when your desired temperature is reached. After starting this mode by pressing button 3 you can press button 3 again at any time to move forward one stage or button 1 to move back one stage. A creative mode where the possibilities are endless!
Specifications:
Power supply: 240V/ 50/60Hz
Plug type: UK power plug with 1m cable
Watts: 680W
Number of pre-programmed modes: 4
Pre-set “add fragrance” temperature: Modes 1 and 2, 75C | Mode 3 82C | Mode 4 variable
Pre-set “pour” temperature: Modes 1 and 2, 62C | Mode 3 75C | Mode 4 variable
Pre-sets can have a variance of +/- 2C depending on the type of wax, other ingredients you use, and the ambient temperature of your room.
These pre-set temperatures work perfectly with our own wax and also deliver good results with most of the common brands on the market. We display the pre-set temperatures for your information and whilst most wax brands will have differing melt and pour recommendations we encourage you to try our pre-sets first, moving to variable mode if you need to.
Suitable for the following waxes: Soy container wax, soy tart and melt wax, soy blends (including coconut), palm, paraffin, beeswax.
The unit is also designed for adding fragrance and colorants. We also find that it works well with some of the more popular melt’n’pour natural soap bases.
We cannot vouch for the finish of your candle when using ingredients other than our own and we cannot offer technical support for other ingredients; your own testing is always required.

Best purchase everrr! Love them so much I’ve bought 3 and gifted one. Buy with confidence: excellent product that takes the guess work out of candle making along with excellent customer service and communication from the company
Shay –
Absolutely love my candle maker! It is so convenient and easy to use. Love how the candle comes out. Cant want to purchase more.
Rachel –
Received my first candle maker and can’t wait to try it! The kit was packaged very well!!
N Singer –
It’s very handy to make small batches or samples or wax melts. The black strip was loose when I got it, looks like the glue did not stick anymore.
The functionality is great, I would buy it again and buying the big pitcher is recommended.
Candles come out smooth!
Jennifer –
I’m in love with this candle maker it’s so convenient, quick and easy to use. Makes a perfect candle and few wax melts every time
Basdaye Harripersad –
Can’t wait for this product to come back in stock to buy 1. Am new to making candles and I am so excited
Sherry Lynn Williams –
Just got this today, we are making our own candles for the house. This item is very user friendly!
Mark French –
This product is quite outstanding. Apart from doing an extremely efficient job and making the process so easy and safe, It is a remarkably compact little unit. At first I was frankly skeptical that the funny little button thing in the bottom of the jug would be capable of stirring and efficiently mixing in the fragrance, but my doubts were quickly dispelled. This gadget is an absolute gem! My only suggestion would be an improvement to the pouring spout on the jug. When pouring a couple of 5ooml candle containers I found that initially it was hard to avoid minor spillage because of the low angle of pour with the jug filled to the max line. I understand that a larger jug with a modified spout is in the works, so I will be watching out for this. For smaller candles around the 300ml mark though, this little beauty is absolutely perfect!

AMAZING
Jane Cruickshank –
If you’re even looking at this website then you NEED this! It’s genius! I live in the UK so dithered a bit because of time and postage. So happy I finally ordered. It took about half an hour from delivery and opening the box and reading the instructions to having four clam shell wax melts. It’s idiot proof. Happy to hear they’ll be posting from the UK in the New Year so I’ll definitely be ordering more. Fantastic product and great communication from a lovely company. 5 stars x

Corrie Cook –
This is candle making for dummies – even I can’t go wrong! Everything is pre-measured, the fragrances are superb (much better than other offerings) and with the finished candle container makes a wonderful, great-value gift. So pleased I purchased this – thank you!

Ling Mitchel –
The Candle Maker is the most amazing piece of equipment I’ve bought in years!! It takes ALL the guesswork or of making the perfect candle. I love it!!
Jane –
I was brought the Candle Making Kit for Christmas and I have never looked back. Each candle I make is perfect and the range of fragrances that Chandler & Me have, makes it a perfect choice as gifts for friends. Fast, easy and beautifully scented candles and such a fun activity to do with friends and family. Great Job Chandler & Me.
Bishin –
I have just used my Chandler & Me for the first time and it was fantastic. As a beginner I have previously experienced a wide range of problems trying to make soy candles from scratch (wet spots, frosting, ineffective burn pool size/ poor fragrance throw etc.). Taking the guess work out made candle making a far more enjoyable experience. It was a particular relief to not have a multitude of instruments to have to clean at the end! Within half an hour I managed to unbox my candle maker, create a lovely new candle and clean up too. My candle looks great and smells wonderful, I’m looking forward to creating more to give as gifts to friends and family.

Absolutely love this product. So quick and easy and makes a perfect candle every time. Worth every cent!
