Hi, How long of holding the switch down does it take to heat up to around 106 degrees and upwards? around a minute or 10+ minutes? thank you!

Mine heats up within one min and increases to an intense heat after two nore.

Just to clarify... The product being sold here the Themofore MAXHEAT pad, does NOT have the switch that requires being held down. They have another pad that they call the "Classic" that has this feature. This one has an on/off switch with Low, medium, and high settings. The pad heats up and automatically turns off in 20 minutes (as a safety feature) and if you want it to continue heating you turn off and back on again.

The is not 1 nor 10 minutes. Once once plugged in and the switch engaged the temperature rises uniformly and reaches 100 + degrees in 4-5 minutes

I'm not sure since I don't know what 106 degrees feels like when its on. What I can tell you is that after 5 minutes of holding the switch its too hot for me and I let the switch go. After about 15 mins I depress the switch again. Bottom line I'm glad I bought this heating pad, I finally have one that works to my satisfaction

It takes a few minutes say 3, to heat up. There is a button you push when you want the steam. It can be continuous or only for a few seconds depending on how long you hold the button for.

This switch is manual. this does not have temp control. You set it to cook and when it is done it switces to warm.

About 10 minutes. I turn it on low before I go into brush my teeth and get ready for bed -- wash face, take off makeup, etc. and by the time I come to bed, the chill is gone. I don't like a toasty bed but I imagine if you cranked it up it would actually be warm in that amount of time v

I'm not an expert on these things. The settings I use are "on setting 10 sec." off settings 15 secs." and when I turn it on I never go very far above the on off switch. In other words I turn it on low and that is where I leave it. I've forgotten it and left it on all night and it didn't use that much oil. That is all I know.

There should be an evident change in temperature no longer than 30 minutes after activation. Please try a higher temperature setting during the next use. If there is no change in temperature, please contact us!

First, you must pull the plug for restart. Then press mode for time length, then again for heating temp. You adjust with the up n down arrows.

I would have to say about 1-2 minutes with the adjustment setting at max. The instructions suggest heating up at max, then dialing down as needed. Great soldering iron set

i'm not sure it never got warm enough to turn off in 4 hours. the temp outside was in the mid 20's and the inside didnt make it above 40. i had to add a on/off switch it has a light that lets you know it has power to it. it drained the battery to where i had to jump start the car after letting the car sit overnight 10 hours. as i said before i would pass on this and i guess i will just chack it up and a 30 dollar lost can see them taking it back after cutting the wires to add fuse link n switch.

Just one switch.....turn it on, regulate how much heat you want, turn it off......I have a small bathroom and if I wait 15-20 minutes, it is great versus a cold tile floor! Hoo RAH!

At the maximum setting, this unit takes about 10-15 minutes to reach temperature. The good news is that once it is at temperature, it maintains it consistently.

Heat settings are adjustable up to 75 degrees celcius. Timer is for 60 minutes or less.

It should be heated up by 48 hours. Your heater is probably faulty. Mine always ended up running hotter than set temperature, and I had to switch mine to another heater.

The heat level is controlled by a knob, kinda like a light dimmer; the more you turn it clockwise the higher the heat.It is really nice. But as in any electrical item, I unplug it when I am not at home.

3 heat settings plus off. So...low, med, high. I found the low setting is hot enough. Unfortunately within 24 hours the light on the control stopped working. This is dangerous as could be inadvertently be left on as no timer and cut off switch on this pad. I now keep it as a backup and bought a different make with a timer! I consider this pad very dangerous as if it is left on it could burn someone who did not have the mobility to turn it off. Hope this helps.

You have to hold the temp button for 10-20 seconds once the displayed temp. starts to blink adjust the temp. up or down using the temp. arrows

I let it run through the 15 min. cycle with heat. It will start right back up if I want it to. Honestly, 15 min. is enough....this thing isn't for pansies. ;)
