OMG! I love this little fryer! Not only does it heat up quickly but it cooks quickly too! And the clean up is so much easier than my old fryer. It has a nice liner that makes the clean up so fast and easy. The basket is perfect for one person and since it's so small it doesn't take much room to store it either. Love, love, love it!

I would say heat up time is about 15-20 minsCool down is considerably longer

As per the instructions, before each use you need to heat unit for 15 minutes at 350. After that the recovery time is minimal.

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!

I ran an AC unit off this that was rated at 6.3 amps (+ surge) and it got slightly warm but not a concern........if you can afford it, i would get the next one up from this unit......however, this may work, but the hotter it gets the less life it may have/ possible fire hazzard

Not noticeably. The water coming from the heater takes just a few seconds to come up to temperature.

It's very quick to heat up. I have bought over 100 heating pads in my lifetime and most don't last a year. This one is really good and I like how it goes off automatically after one hour unless you reset it which is easy. Plus you put it on the degrees you want not just low medium and high. I highly recommend this item

Yes it does. It just takes several minutes to reach a satisfactory temperature. From I've learned that it seems to be a model around $300, to be energy efficient and warm well.

Yes, it heats up nicely, however, I would not recommend this. A little after a year the tank randomly started leaking, it is hard to unscrew the bottom and the bottom gets a lot of mildew. I was previously pleased with this. Not anymore, not for that price.

I have had no difficulties with this unit in over a year. No heat buildup nothing. I have a fuse that is doubled (main fuse) this was set up before as I had replaced an existing high output altenator.

It should heat up your tank within a couple hours, maybe you have a faulty heater :(

Yes, but it overheats quick with high temperatures. Has a five minute cool-down.

We heat only when we need it. It only holds a few cups of water. But it heats up pretty quickly.

No,the unit I bought does not generate any heat at all. Even when I put my palm on the unit, the machine does not feel warm at all

It usually heats up under a minute. If you increase the heat and the display doesn't go up, you most likely have a defective unit.

It does warm up slowly, but I think that is part of its design secret in holding a temperature accurately and for an extended period of time. We have used this unit for chocolate sauce for ice cream sundae's and for butter. You can force the heat-up by using hot water in the unit before heating. We have been extremely pleased with the simplicity and operation of this unit. I hope this response helps.

Yes it is. I switched over from an LP only unit and I'm so glad I did. Recovery rate is faster on gas but it feels hotter on electric so your able to use more cold water and extend usage.

No. We leave ours on all of the time. It takes about 20-30 minutes to heat up when water is added. Uses very little electricity. We love it, one of our most used and most favorite appliances.
