does it take a long time to warm up
99255
My last electric blanket had a preheat setting that allowed a quick heat-up and that was my biggest concern when purchasing this blanket. Don't worry....it warms up beautifully! I turn it on when I am getting ready for bed and it is so toasty when I get in! I love it so much I just ordered another one for my guest room. I hope this helps!

It warms up very quickly! I turn it on, then wash my face and brush my teeth to get ready for bed and it's already warm. If I remember correctly, it automatically goes on high to heat quickly and then sets to the temperature you specify.

No. I never timed it, but in about 10 minutes, the chill is off the sheets when you climb into bed.

Nope. I turn it on as we don't he prebed dance....face washing tooth brushing etc. it's warm by the time we crawl in.

It takes forever and does not get fully warm. Do not waste your money on this blanket.

Generally less than 5 minutes at a setting of 4 or 5. We usually turn it on as we're getting ready for bed and by the time we climb in it's nice and warm.

It is low-voltage DC and low-power, so it takes 5-10 minutes to warm up, and it shuts off automatically if left on for ~10 hours. We turn ours on (1-button) as we're getting ready for bed, and it is always plenty warm in time. I use mine on level 2 (of 10), because the higher settings can get very toasty.

Not at all. I usually turn it on 5 min before getting on bed. The bed sets itself on high until reaching the set temp then drops to the setting you put it on.

Hey Boni - this elect blanket is the most unique I've ever used! I'm a aged Vermonter who now can't stand the cold... so first time I plugged it in I expected a warmed bed when I got in. That wasn't the case. What really happened was - almost immediately I was warmed by a combination of my own body heat & the blanket's heating system. Now, during cold nights my setting is not much higher than 2... and I'm comfy & cozy. The blanket holds your heat better than any I've ever used. Enjoy!

Yes you can. But I would imagine it would take between 20 to 30 minutes for it to warm up. So you would need to preplan and be extremely cautious because the can will get very hot.

I don't actually warm it up. I just toast the first slice(s) for 3 min. if I toast more The next slice(s) toast for 2:15 or so (these times are for wheat. White toast takes a little less time.

It is fairly quick....for me I can usually be ready to work within a few minutes (less than 5). My SOP is to resoak the sponge, then turn the iron on while I finishing the layout of work. I typically turn it wide open (setting on 5) and then adjust to what I need for the work at hand. All my work is at the hobbiest level, i.e. doing it for myself, therefore I don't need to be in a rush for rapid warm-up.

Not sure if you just got it, but if just brought in from the cold, you msy need to lrt it warm up.

I have a 2.5 gallon tank and it took my heater more than 2 hours to warm up. I was also concerned that it wasn't working but it warmed up after around 6 hours I would say. It stays at a constant 76-78 now. The red light is never bright unless the room is completely dark so I wouldn't worry about that unless it becomes competly unlit

that's the purpose of the warmer. I heat up bottles of formula everyday. all it is, is your bottle sitting in water which the warmer is heating up. It takes about 3 to 5 min depending on the size of bottle.

I bought it as a gift, but I have the same one but an older model. It does take a minute or two to warm up, but we're usually eating our first one when the second batch is done. I really like this one. That's why I bought for my son for Christmas.

Not long. I have two of these and they come up to temp in about 10 minutes or so.

Good question...it does warm up initially...takes about 45 seconds, I guess, unless you left it "on" constantly.. Then it's good to go for multiple cups and fires them out very fast. So to be clear, it does take longer than 15 seconds, if you just did one cup.

It takes about the same amount of time as a heated blanket. Keep in mind - you can't have it plugged in while driving due to the cord. So unless you have time to let the car warmup for 10 minutes, don't bother.

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 honestly don't know. I originally bought an item like this for myself in 2005, not sure if it's the same brand but it was a wipes warmer and it took about 30 minutes to an hour to warm up. I bought this item for my nephew that was having a baby because i enjoyed the fact that my baby wouldn't have to endure the freezing cold reaction of NY's cold weather. HTH!

I havent a clue why it would take longer...sure you have the button with the heat source on...if so...maybe the heating unit is going out???? I dont use mine that much so I cannot really say-except what a bummer...

In my experience it does take a little bit to get warm. It definitely does not get as hot as the chair hood dryers we have at the salon. The longer it runs the warmer it gets and it does go through warmer and cooler phases.

I use the warmer in a clinic setting. It doesn't take long to heat up but there isn't a temp control so I find I have to turn it off at times because the towels get too hot. I am using damp towels and usually turn it on 30 min prior to seeing patients. then turn it off and on as needed. I love it though. does what I need it to

Ours actually takes a long time to cool as well :( Especially when its really hot outside, it takes longer to cool, usually have to put on at least 12 hours in advance.
