When first turning it on can you feel the heat quickly or takes a while to heat up?

You can almost immediately feel that it's on if you hold your hand close, but it heats up gently and takes a while.

Nope! It only takes it about a minute to 'warm up'. When (a) light goes solid - it's ready to use. Just start moping!!! I had a shark - I know what your talking about. This is 100% better! You'll enjoy it.

Within a minute or so you can detect it heating up and at full heat within a few minutes.

It starts to get warm in 2-3 minutes, but 10-15 minutes makes the towels toasty, so turn it on ahead of time.

You have to hold the red button in for about 30 to 40 seconds after it ignites. This allows the igniter to heat up like the old pilot light on furnaces.

If its actually too hot to touch then thats bad, but if its warm I think thats normal. I tested mine by turning it up to 6 for a few minutes and thats all it took to get it warm. I supposed if I left it for hours at 6 it would feel quite warm. I don't think its a big deal.

The process of heating takes a few minutes to become "HOT". No more than 5 minutes, but it's not immediate.

Heats up quickly but seems to cool down just as quick. Seems to only stay hot from a few minutes then cools down. I set my timer for an hour but it always kicks off early.

Yes; it starts blowing hot (or warm, depending on setting) air as soon as you turn it on.

no -I only run it maybe 10 mins so I haven't noticed anything like that but I would not consider it a normal thing to heat up so much-ask the company

The warmer heats up very quickly, within half an hour. It takes about another hour to really warm the towels. I have forgotten to turn it on first thing in the morning and have had warm-ish towels within 20 minutes.

Good question...it does warm up initially...takes about 45 seconds, I guess, unless you left it "on" constantly.. Then it's good to go for multiple cups and fires them out very fast. So to be clear, it does take longer than 15 seconds, if you just did one cup.

Janet, it doesn't take too long once the warmer is heated up. Like an iron or oven, you have to turn it on and let it warm up for 15-30 minutes before you put your towel in. I usually get up, turn it on, plan my outfit, make coffee, etc. then put my towel in right before I take a shower. Then after the shower it's toasty warm. Overall, I've been pleased with it.

Hi Elizabeth, The iron takes a couple of minutes to heat up but the heat is high. I enjoy having this product. Once you get the practice of using it, you'll love it.

It heats up pretty quickly. I turn it on right before a client comes in ...and the table doesn't feel cold for them. You can set the temp for one of 5 settings and either 1,2, 3, 4 or 8 hours.

No, the area does not turn red. It takes several minutes for the area to heat up. Not sure of the exact temperature, but it just gets very warm, not super hot. For me, the vibration feature is better than the heat, though the heat can be nice.
