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

you cab leave it at a preset setting (warm) and it will take about 15 minutes to get there. Or you can turn it on high and in about 1-2 minutes it is hot and you will need to turn the settings down or it will start to boil the water.

I don't know. From what I can tell when it is heating it flashes, mine flashes at 80 only when it is heating. I turned mine on, adjusted the up button until display read 80, they recommend between 80 and 85. It will flash when it heats, keeping the temp set at 80. just make sure you adjust the temp with the up button to 80 or higher. Does the display go to 80 when you adjust? How long have you had it on? Mine took a day and 1/2 before it heated to where I had it sat. You might have a bad unit. I really feel sorry for you if you do, I know these are not easy to change.

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.

It heats in a range of temperatures (155-200 F) depending the knob setting. It heats to that temperature and then turns off until it needs to reheat to maintain the set temperature.

I'm sorry if I confused you. Yes you have to hold the switch. I think that is a safety issue. If you keep the switch down it would be burn you. It gets very hot. I love mine

I have not measured it but I am guessing around 45 minutes or so. It gets pretty warm, and is very intense. On low setting it will last longer.

You have to stand and hold the button..It gets hot and shuts off and you have to wait for it to cool.. Maybe 3 minutes..

The fan takes a while to turn on, the heater first gets up to temperature before the fan turns on.When you turn the unit off, it takes up to 5 minutes for the fan to turn off. This is normal.

There should be an evident change in temperature no longer than 30 minutes after activation. Please try a higher temperature setting during the next use. If there is no change in temperature, please contact us!

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.

Heats up quite high. I use mine at 140 for 45 mins at a time. And it heats up in about 10 mins to that temp.

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.

Yes you hold the switch down to heat. I release it when warm enough and then as it gets cool I hold switch down again. This is to keep you from burning yourself if you fall asleep.

you can find the manual if you do a search on the delonghi site. however: in theory, if you push the green button your heater will maintain at around 68/70 degrees. if you don't like that, turn it off (green light off) then, you will have to slowly turn the other dial up or down, waiting 15 minutes between adjustments to let the room get to the approximate desired temperature. oil heaters have some lag. i keep mine on medium power setting (one of the switches on, other off) and it works great.

Mine has never taken 30 minutes for it to warm up did you turn the little Toggle switch on?

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.
