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

That depends on how long it's been on. It will go off after 8 or so hours. But if it happens right when you put it on and it doesn't heat in about 1/2 hour or so, call Amazon and see about returning it for one that works. Mine goes on and I put it where I want it set and it stays there for approximately 8 or so hours. I can turn it down or up when I feel that is needed.

I've had mine on for about an hour at it's longest. I don't leave it on without something in the cup, and I don't leave it unattended when it's on. The switch is very convenient for turning it off and on as needed. It also heats up very quickly. I've been using it for about one month, so I can't verify durability. It seems to work well, except it's not quite hot enough.

Ive never timed it. It heats up quickly but it would depend on size of pot and how much water.

As best I can tell, it does not turn colors. I can usually feel the heat within 5-10 minutes. It can get uncomfortably hot before it times out, requiring it to be turned off.

If I remeber correctly about 10 minutes, maybe less but does work great and worthe the wwait for it to heat up.

It depends on your microwaves wattage, but generally 2 minutes on high. I coil it up and heats perfectly!

Yes, it does. I'm not sure how long the cycles are, but I'd say 20-30 minutes. If it does shut down, it heats back up quickly when you push the control button.

I leave mine on for around 15 hours, but have not left it on any longer, I never leave the house with a appliance on. But it does not take that long to heat a full pot, it also has a reboil button and a 6 hour delay feature. I really like this pot.

Not that Bad, Tom. I just timed it for you. In 60 seconds, standing right under it, I feel the heat. In 2 minutes, the heating element has gone from black to red to orange, and the heat is pretty good. My bathroom is kinda big, maybe 9 feet on a side, so the heater doesn't heat the room quickly, but I have it right over where we get out of the shower, and it makes a real difference. It's about a foot away from where I stand to use the sink, shaving etc., and by the time I'm done showering and at the sink, it really helps, especially in the miserable winter we just had. I put it on, if I remember, about five minutes in advance, but if I don't remember, it's still a help pretty quickly. Not that Bad, Tom. I just timed it for you.

Should take a half hr. But I took another hr to install a cut out switch. So I can turn it on when needed. It has an auto on off when it senses engine run. But will stay heated even if not needed until the engine is shut down.

Hi my name is Steve Alsworth, I've responded earlier and somehow lost the email on my phone. The thermal switch turns on or closes the circuit at 35 degrees, and turns off or opens the circuit at 46 degrees, give take a degree. I hope this is helpful, perhaps if there's anything else I could do for you just ask me at stevealsworth@q.com

I've used it on its highest setting and when I do, it doesn't take longer than about 10 minutes to cool down. With that said, the housing can get very hot. The top can get hot enough to burn you if it's on full blast.

Hi there - the entire metal outside BECOMES SO HOT YOU RISK A 3rd DEGREE BURN IF YOU TOUCH IT! Also, It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to heat thus it seems the slow cooker is only going to be warm to the touch but once it 'gets going' WATCH OUT! It does not matter if you set it on 'low', 'high' or 'keep warm' the results are still the same. Also, these 3 settings are the only settings other than 'On' and Off'.

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.

If you heat it for about 6 minutes, it gets pretty darn hot. It will stay warm for about half an hour.

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