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 have not noticed any time to warm up. I"m amazed at the high quality sound I get . I hope it has a long useful life. Some things like my Century Link Modem contains a chip that causes the modem to fail when server format is changed. I hope this is not a future trend in electronics. I have to pay $180 per year to replace modems which have been programmed by my ISP to fail.

It takes about 25-30 min depending on the type of bottle you're using. I'll say this warmer is more like a "keep it warm while traveling" system rather than warming up something that is cold while you drive. If you're gonna make a long trip can be good if you put it on advance but again if is not a long trip I don't really see the benefit since we can warm up the bottle on water before leaving home. Hope it helps you!

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

The unit warms up in about five minutes, but it takes a lot longer, 30 minutes usually, to get get a fairly thick towel nice and toasty.

The machine cuts itself off after a certain amount of time ... about 40 minutes, my husband says. It takes maybe 20 minutes to warm the towels (and underwear). Well worth the wait, according to him. This was a great buy!

Yes but just plan well ahead of bath time. It heats up to a very warm temperature but how long it takes depends on the starting temperature of the water. Stone cold to comfortable may take 2-3 hours.

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.

you will be able to feel some heat after it warms up. it is not fan forced air. it will take a few minets to warm up and then the heat rises.

It only takes a couple of minutes for it to start warming up. I literally use this for several hours every day:)

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.

Yes, but remember the startup is not instant but takes several minutes to warm up.

I haven't timed it but it's pretty quick, maybe a 2-3 minutes. It heats up pretty quick, too, maybe 4-5 minutes.

The workouts are 25 minutes. There is no warm up. The cool down is an additional 2.5 - 3.5 minutes.

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

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...
