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!

I just did 4 cold starts in a row. It took 15 seconds to boot up on all starts. I hope this helps.

Generally it only takes a couple minutes to heat up, to get to full heat maybe up to 5 minutes. So if you need it for a specific amount of time that may need to be added to how long you put as the timer.

The warmer heats up very quickly, within half an hour. It takes about another hour to really warm the towels. I have forgotten to turn it on first thing in the morning and have had warm-ish towels within 20 minutes.

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

Janet, it doesn't take too long once the warmer is heated up. Like an iron or oven, you have to turn it on and let it warm up for 15-30 minutes before you put your towel in. I usually get up, turn it on, plan my outfit, make coffee, etc. then put my towel in right before I take a shower. Then after the shower it's toasty warm. Overall, I've been pleased with it.

The tip give it some time to warm up takes about a half hour or so for the temp to stabilize

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...

Hi, It takes a very long time like 2+hrs to even to get warm, it could have been made better

First, this unit takes awhile to warm up. Also I had to wiggle the power cord a couple of times to get it to come on.Hope this helps

It takes a meal about 40 minutes to heat up. I like it because I spend most of my time in my pickup and often out in no man's land. It's nice to have a hot meal in the cold weather.

It takes anywhere from 30-45 minutes to get warmed up enough for expresso, it will go green (ok) several times before it will actually make.

No. You can set it to start immediately, and only run for X hours, after that it changes to a warm setting. I love it!

You asked for a subjective assessment. The same amount of time will seem "long" to some people and "short" to others. If you want to know if YOU will think the warm-up time is long or short, you will need to ask "How long does it take...".

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 am not quite sure how long it takes, but I place warm towels in the towel warmer about a half hour before I give a facial and they are quite hot. There is no temperature indicator. I will say the towels get very hot so you need to shake them out before applying them to a clients face. But you would check the temp anyway no matter what warmer you use. Hope this is helpful

I had a set if rollers for about 20 years and they took about 5-6 minutes to heat up. These are much faster probably 1-2 minutes at its slowest and probably faster but I never really timed them.
