How long does it take to heat up enough to use?

Depends on how much water you put into the tank. If you fill to the max, it is about 5 minutes more or less where you will start getting steam to start or resume your project.

I never really timed it because I would fill and heat when I got on the job, but I think it was less than 20 minutes. Refilling and heating during the day seamed quicker, maybe because I took a break. Heating and re-heating did not slow my progress. Just be cautious opening when refilling.

If I remeber correctly about 10 minutes, maybe less but does work great and worthe the wwait for it to heat up.

It takes about 10-15mins to heat up. You can use it thereafter up until you run out of water. It is highly recommended to use distilled water. Personally, I find the distilled water does not come to highest heat, therefore steam is not optimum. I seem to get a lot more water spitting out than steam using distilled water. Although distilled supposedly extends the life of the eating element and/or reservoir.

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

It depends on the setting you have it on. The two times I tried to use it, it took around 2 minutes to heat up to medium high.

Depends on how much you have in the pot, but usually around 2-5 minutes (depending on the type of range you have). My expereince is that electric takes longer than gas or induction.

It should about 3-4 minutes. If quantity of water in the tank is less it heats up quicker.

About an hour if you know what you are doing. Make sure you read and follow instructions.

I use it to heat buckets of water for tiling installations when it is cold. It takes about 10 minutes to heat up. I also put it in my wet saw to keep water warm and it is awesome even gets to hot I have to unplug it for awhile. Hope this helps.

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.

I had a set if rollers for about 20 years and they took about 5-6 minutes to heat up. These are much faster probably 1-2 minutes at its slowest and probably faster but I never really timed them.

Not real long. About 45 min. Maybe if you wrap plate in foil it would stay warm longer.

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 should be heated up by 48 hours. Your heater is probably faulty. Mine always ended up running hotter than set temperature, and I had to switch mine to another heater.

Just a couple of minutes. I usually wait 5 and do something else while they are heating.

Make sure that the hot button is on. The first time I used it, i ran it cold and it did not seal. It takes about 2-3 mins to really heat up.

I wish I knew, because this is a common problem. But I have a suggestion. When you are done using it, donot turn it off! Turn it on the coolest setting, zero I think, and let it cool down with air blowing through it. About 45 minutes. Otherwise you will burn up the heating element!

It takes a few minutes say 3, to heat up. There is a button you push when you want the steam. It can be continuous or only for a few seconds depending on how long you hold the button for.
