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

No temp. control. Turn the switch on, wait a few seconds, hold the button down, then 10 seconds later it's probably 450F or more (my solder melts at 380F). I think it may get hotter than that, but you can't set or control it.

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.

Yes, it does. I'm not sure how long the cycles are, but I'd say 20-30 minutes. If it does shut down, it heats back up quickly when you push the control button.

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.

You can program it for increments up to 8 hours. There is also a High-Quick-Warm setting where it gets hot fast and then goes back down to level 1 after about 10 minutes. It's really easy to use and no worries about leaving it on or plugged in. After 8 hours, regardless of what you initially set it at, it will turn itself off.

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.

I have only had it up to 130F but it should go higher. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to heat to 130F with surrounding room temperature around 60F.

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.

This is not for you, it's a high med. low knob, and the heat varies about 5 degrees.Lowest was around 60 after 5 min.

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.

Instructions say 30 sec at a time until warm enough. It does not hold the heat very long at all. Not worth it.

It does take about a min to warm up. Mine can get extremely hot. I set it to 60.

3 heat settings plus off. So...low, med, high. I found the low setting is hot enough. Unfortunately within 24 hours the light on the control stopped working. This is dangerous as could be inadvertently be left on as no timer and cut off switch on this pad. I now keep it as a backup and bought a different make with a timer! I consider this pad very dangerous as if it is left on it could burn someone who did not have the mobility to turn it off. Hope this helps.

I like it. It takes about 10 min to heat up. Cover it when preheating. I use it in my semi truck. It will eat your battery in two hours, so reduce the heat to less than a half for longer use

It shouldn't take 6 hours. Mine heated up in about 5-10 min. The power button should light up as an indication that there's power to it. If all power sources checked out and it still doesn't work then you just got a defected one. Good luck.
