Honey Warming / Cooling Cabinet

I really wanted to give this warmer 5 stars, but I just can’t quite get there — although it’s definitely more of a 4.5-star rating.

I absolutely love this warmer! I had some crystallized honey jars that needed to be brought back to normal, so I set the temperature to 110°F and it did a fantastic job. Once they were ready, I set it back to 90°F, and everything has been working great.

So why 4.5 stars instead of 5? My only real issue is the shelf configuration. I have a variety of containers — honey bears, 1 lb and 2 lb glass jars, and 3- and 6-lb yard rent jugs. I can fit all of the 1-lb jars on the top shelf, but then I have to lower the second shelf to accommodate the taller jars. That leaves one shelf that I can’t really use efficiently.

I’ve also noticed that the very bottom of the warmer is a little cooler, and you have to arrange things around the heating element.

That said, this is far better than what I was using before, and I really do love it. My only suggestion would be to offer a few more options for shelf placement or configuration. That would make an already great warmer much more versatile.

Overall: 4.5 stars — and I would absolutely recommend it.

Great design by Hillco! It’s a warmer and a cooler. I was a little concerned about having this shipped but I had no reason to worry. Hillco did an outstanding job packing this.

A friend had made a similar honey warming cabinet from and old ice machine and it worked surprisingly well. I’ve been looking to buy one for the past two years because I have so much honey that solidifies after harvesting in my 5 gallon buckets before I get the chance to bottle it off. When I saw this warming cabinet, I knew it was exactly what I needed. I ordered it. It shipped quickly and arrived within days. It was very well packaged to avoid damage during shipping. I opened it, set it in place and immediatelychecked to see if my 5 gallon buckets pails would fit. They do! I turned it on and let it get up totemperature (I set it at 105°F and placed my pail back in the cabinet. Within 24 hours, my honey was clear and liquid again. I am so thrilled with this warming cabinet. I highly recommend it!

It’s worked great liquefying 15 gallons of honey for our upcoming sale! Thank you!

My older unit needed a repair and Hillco was quick to take care of my needs to get me up and running again. Thank you Hillco!
