Do you still have to strain the herb from the oil? If it does it for you, does it do a good job of removing all the oil from the herbal material?

I bought this product from the company directly not Amazon. The mesh filter is okay but does not clean up well, in my experience (only once). I had to throw out the filter after one use and replacing them every use is EXPENSIVE. I wrote a review on the Magic Butter website and did not give it a good review. That was over a month ago and it is still not posted. Matter of fact they do not seem to post any review that is lower than 4 or 5 stars. This seems, to me, highly unethical - but that is what kind of company I feel I am dealing with. I used it once, it was a waste of 174.00 in my opinion!

You still have to strain it. It comes with a filter to strain it through, and it's not that big so be prepared to wait lol.

The device comes with a straining cup, about the size of a coffee filter. Once your oil is done you pour the oil through the mesh filter cup while holding it over your jar or container you intend to store the oil and it removes 99% of the herbal material. You can not run the machine with the filter cup in it. Thats just where its stored.

It comes with a fine mesh screen type thing to strain it with. Overall this machine is wonderful, unfortunately the warranty isn't valid if you purchase from amazon. Purchase directly from the manufacturers website or an authorized retailer in person if you want the warranty.

I've used it for all, Joint,muscle and headache type pains, and it has worked rather well for me. I use it full strenghth,some need to dillute it w/ carrier oil.

I have not needed to clean it when using different oils as I find there is so little liquid left after the cycle is done. I just dump out the leftover water/oil and have not noticed much with any residual oil/smell when I put the next oil in it.

It has a wire mesh strainer much like a tea strainer with a spring controlled plunger that when hot expands and keeps the oil from draining out. It does a great job over night with very little oder. Just be patient.

yes they work very well. The oil needs to be at least warm not hot but warm if the oil is cold it takes to long to strain the oil. I have extended the life of the oil considerable longer with this filter & strainer holder or rack as they call it. I give it a 5 star

I used it but not all night as recommended. The smell is not bad at all. I have a night cap using it over the Dabur Vatika oil for a while before shampooing my hair. Works just fine, No oil residue left after using the Dabu Vatika Shampoo and conditioner. I like all their hair products.

Though I have not actually tried it, I think that straining oil would work fine. I have used mine to fish debris out of very fatty beef stock and did not have any of the fat resist passing through the mesh.

I have not personally used tea tree oil for this but have heard of it in the past. Sorry I can't be of more help...I will say that tea tree oil has removed, helped, cleaned way more than what I had ever expected or been told so it wouldn't hurt to try.

Yes it works very well; much better than oil that has been diluted with water. It is a very thin oil.

I use it for parsley and basil often. I feel it is good. If you want I fine mince you will need to go over them from opposite direction. I have done this when I am adding herbs to kids meals as they think herbs are going to kill them.

I love the oil, it smells good, it has some really great ingredients, on how long for it to work would depend on what you want, it helps with the dryness in my hair, I don't notice if my hair is any thicker, but it does help with dryness, you just use a few drops, and it smells really good!

I found that it doesn't work great for thicker oils. With all oils you are going to have some buildup which can damage it's efficiency, the occasional cleaning cannot hurt. Mostly I use mine for soy sauce. We eat a lot of rice in my house and we can quickly burn through a large bottle of soy sauce. With this I can create an even dispersement of sauce without having to drown my food.

Sorry, but I have yet to try it out. I am guessing, though, that it will work best on more woody-stemmed herbs such as thyme and rosemary, rather than soft-stemmed herbs like cilantro and parsley. My hope is that it will strip those tiny thyme leaves off the stem that are so tedious to pick off by hand.

I have used it with a bit of success on basil. In fact, neem is my go-to with basil! Best of luck!

Melissa sorry it has taken me awhile to respond to your question but I have been away from a computer from a while. about the oil, I didn't like the oil. it was very heavy and messy on my hair and I stopped after two uses. I prefer the liquid gold hair growth crème that is much better and results are from after a few weeks use.

I don't think so. It really doesn't work well for any of the herbs I have tried. ie sage thyme, rosemary etc.

As I remember it, some of the reviews said if they filled it too full, it wouldn't work. You needs some air to compress to make the pump work. We fill ours about half-2/3 full and have had no problem. (That way it also won't get old on us.) Also, we don't infuse our oil, so there aren't any herbs to get stuck in the way. It isn't as forceful as a spray can of cooking oil, but it does good enough for us. I just keep pumping until I can't depress it any more, probably 7 or 8 times. My daughter likes to twist as she pumps. I don't know what else to suggest.
