I want to use one of these to warm up filtered water for sinus rinses upstairs. How long does it take to warm up?

Once you turn it on it gets hot "fast." Just make sure that whatever liquid you put on it, is already hot. It will not heat anything up. It's designed to keep the liquid at the temperature it is when you set it on the warmer. It keeps your liquid from cooling off! Hope that helps? By the way, my wife and I love these things. I got tired of rewarming my coffee three to four times in the microwave during these cold winter months in Michigan...

Do not rely on this for that type of warming--depending on the quantity you need, a cup that is already warm will stay warm. I just do not think it will be your first consideration.

I did not use this warmer long enough to be able to provide an accurate answer.

In my opinion, this is designed to keep already hot beverages warm. I don't think you will get positive results attempting to actually warm from this. It does get hot but not hot enough to warm water.Hope this is helpful.

I highly recommend warming the water first. Using cold water can be very uncomfortable.

Very easy cold water in, hot out ,gas in check for gas and water leak. Have a shower. Takes 1/2 to 1 hour.

Beings this unit does not have a hot selection the selections are cool and cold. The farm hands using this machine are happy with the cold water, but you do not want a line of people trying to get cold water, all at once. The instructions say the following after you fill unit with water or after you place a water jug on the unit - It will take approximately 1 hour to reach optimum temperature. If you consume 1-8 oz. cup the recovery time is approx. 25 minutes or less. If you consume 2 or more 8 oz. cups recovery time can take up to 1 hour.

Close to 5 minutes. Just have warmed water to add if you need a longer shower.

Almost immediately; maybe 5 to 10 seconds max. The water in the boiler is already hot, so it only takes seconds to bring the temperature back up after one shot of water is used. By the time you get rid of the puck or used pod and reload the filter, the green temperature light is back on , and you are ready to brew another shot. I do this when making double shots, as getting 2 pods into the filter is difficult and the pump strains to push the water through the extra paper of 2 pods. If you want to brew doubles without having to reload the filter, I recommend using loose grounds, but that's messier than using pods. I prefer the pods, and reloading. Using it for guests should not be a problem. Almost immediately; maybe 5 to 10 seconds max.

I usually run some warm water along the sides of it for about 10-15 seconds and then it pushes right up.

Waterpik recommends using warm (not hot) water, and after using the device for two months, I agree -- much more pleasant that way. Squirt water down your sink drain for the first few seconds after starting it up because it will be cold until the fresh warm water gets through the line.

Boil for 10 min. Let cool, Then click the little silver botton inside the heating pad. I should activate.

Make sure filter is upright with arrow in right direction, only run cold water for several minutes before using.

It is warm. It works really well is you make saline solution and use a little bit of it in the machine with regular water.

It depends on how much water you want and what the initial temp of that water is. But, I did do a test for you. If you want a full pot (1.5L) of water (I used my cold tap water because that is the filtered side of my kitchen sink) it takes 6 minutes and 50 seconds. Usually it takes about 10 minutes or more to boil that on the stove top. But, like I said, it depends on the water temp and how much you need.

Fill the small cup (that comes with it) to the water line. Takes 10 to 20 minutes to get ready. Steam is only 135 degrees at the hottest. I was disappointed with the steam.

I have developed a system in which I run it on quick rinse cold, quick rinse hot, with rice cold with extra rinse and it works perfectly. I could give more details if needed.

It only takes a couple of minutes for it to start warming up. I literally use this for several hours every day:)

It warms up immediately. I have another infrared brand and Dr Heater is the best. The other does not warm up like Dr Heater. I also bought the one with humidifier have had no problems and love it.

It takes a good 5 minutes to heat up it also depends on your water you need distilled water and not tap. Do you hear any noise?
