How quickly does the floor heat up after turning on the mat? Seconds/minutes/10+ minutes?

We installed the floor mat under our tile floor about 2 months ago, and it takes about 5 minutes when you begin to feel the heat through the tile, and it will take about 20-30 min for it to arrive at the temp setting; therefore, we leave our floor heater on all the time, and set it at a low heat in warmer months, and higher temp in the wintertime. we are enjoying this, and we would recommend this product, as we have not had any issues yet- hopefully this will be a lasting product over the years!

Should feel it within 5 min. 10 min., I believe it will be decently toasty.

It does get warm fast, i can say about 5 mins. I also have another diffeerent one it's the same.

It heats up pretty fast, however I do not recommend this heating pad. The timer is already not working correctly and if I could I would send it back.You put the minutes and the temp which is good but the temp always changes even though there is a button to lock the temp choice. It doesn't feel like moist heat either.

It takes me about 20 minutes to actually start sweating.Before I get in I crank up the heat about 10 minutes to warm up, like a preheat. I'm in the sauna 30 to 45 minutes after that, I sweat a lot.

Oh yes, but I don't think you want to keep it on long or it will really get very hot in room. When I turn mine on at lowest setting for around 5-7 minutes the room-about 400 sq ft- is well warm enough to turn it off. Also the first setting-didn't know this-cools, then second and third heat. Will work for me quite well living in hot climate but with cold Winters. Very pleased with it. One thing also is it MUST be on flat surface, not carpet or it goes off. They call it a safety feature and it's on the bottom if not connected to hard surface constantly, goes off. So I set it bit higher on wooden stool and works fine. But oh does it heat fast

I have used this in carpeted ares and the floor does not get hot enough to be an issue

I found it takes a minute or two to get hot enough to produce visible steam when on "high" (all 3 lights lit). Since we've only used it on tile floors its always been used on the hottest setting. On the lowest setting I don't think it is designed to generate steam

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

It depends on what temp u want your sauna to reach . Within 5-10 minutes it's warm enough to get in . I set mine at 125 and it's reaches that in no more than 15 minutes

Whenever it is on, there is hot steam coming through the bottom, so it's probably not a good idea to let it sit in one spot on the floor for too long. I think the maximum time is 30 seconds (it gives the exact time in the instructions). To prevent any floor damage, I would lean it against something at an angle so the pad is not flat on the floor surface. Or unplug it, which turns it off. Good luck!

It doesn't really take that long. I feel it starting to really heat up within a couple minutes; however, it does probably take 10 to 15 mins to reach max heat. I hardly ever have it up that high though. Hope this helps.

Heats in about 30 seconds, but has 60 minute auto turnoff. Rather stiff so can' t roll up. No plugin in directly on pad so more comfy than Sunbeams. Wish it had longer timed shutoff, but overall fits my needs.

It takes about 10 to 15 minutes maybe 20 depending on the temperature you want to heat up then let the sweat begin. I hope that helps. Thanks

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.

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!

Put on level surface. It has a switch on the bottom that will automatically turn it off if it falls over, but also won't turn it on if it's not level. Second turn on I or II depending on how much heat you want. II is more. Next turn the temperature knob up until it kicks on. Or down until it clicks off and then up just till it is on again. Still cold in 10 minutes? Turn it up more. It will cycle on and off. This is normal so that it doesn't over heat.
