does it take a long time to warm up
99255
My last electric blanket had a preheat setting that allowed a quick heat-up and that was my biggest concern when purchasing this blanket. Don't worry....it warms up beautifully! I turn it on when I am getting ready for bed and it is so toasty when I get in! I love it so much I just ordered another one for my guest room. I hope this helps!

It warms up very quickly! I turn it on, then wash my face and brush my teeth to get ready for bed and it's already warm. If I remember correctly, it automatically goes on high to heat quickly and then sets to the temperature you specify.

No. I never timed it, but in about 10 minutes, the chill is off the sheets when you climb into bed.

Nope. I turn it on as we don't he prebed dance....face washing tooth brushing etc. it's warm by the time we crawl in.

It takes forever and does not get fully warm. Do not waste your money on this blanket.

Generally less than 5 minutes at a setting of 4 or 5. We usually turn it on as we're getting ready for bed and by the time we climb in it's nice and warm.

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.

Not at all. I usually turn it on 5 min before getting on bed. The bed sets itself on high until reaching the set temp then drops to the setting you put it on.

Hey Boni - this elect blanket is the most unique I've ever used! I'm a aged Vermonter who now can't stand the cold... so first time I plugged it in I expected a warmed bed when I got in. That wasn't the case. What really happened was - almost immediately I was warmed by a combination of my own body heat & the blanket's heating system. Now, during cold nights my setting is not much higher than 2... and I'm comfy & cozy. The blanket holds your heat better than any I've ever used. Enjoy!

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

About 10 minutes. I turn it on low before I go into brush my teeth and get ready for bed -- wash face, take off makeup, etc. and by the time I come to bed, the chill is gone. I don't like a toasty bed but I imagine if you cranked it up it would actually be warm in that amount of time v

Nope. It has a preheat button that warms the bed, and then goes in to regular mode, to whatever you have the bed /side set to. You have to press the button to get it to start. I can't remember for sure (and can't find the manual), but I think it preheats for like a half hour or hour or so.

I honestly don't know. I originally bought an item like this for myself in 2005, not sure if it's the same brand but it was a wipes warmer and it took about 30 minutes to an hour to warm up. I bought this item for my nephew that was having a baby because i enjoyed the fact that my baby wouldn't have to endure the freezing cold reaction of NY's cold weather. HTH!

Ours actually takes a long time to cool as well :( Especially when its really hot outside, it takes longer to cool, usually have to put on at least 12 hours in advance.

There's no delayed start that I know of. It will automatically revert to warming once the timer is done though.

Not that I've ever noticed. It automatically turns off after a minute or two, so there really isn't enough time to "warm up" even if it might have done it with more time.

you will be able to feel some heat after it warms up. it is not fan forced air. it will take a few minets to warm up and then the heat rises.

warmup takes a while, with a lot of mechanical activity. Copies after initialisation are rapid, within seconds.

Just warm up and you wouldn't want to start with cold food or it takes at least 30 minutes to get it warm.

It takes 15-20 seconds to start heating and about one to one and a half minutes to get to full temp, depending upon the heat setting you have selected.

My wife says it takes less than 1 minute to reach temperature. Hope that helps.

You set the temperature you prefer and the time (for example, 4 hours on High). After that it automatically goes to Warm for 8 hours. If you just turn it on I think Warm is the default until you select a temp. Hope that helps.

No the 25 minutes includes the warm up only. The cool down is separate but the longest one I have seen is only 4 minutes. Most are 2-3 minutes. This is for alpha only. I haven't gotten to beta yet.

No. You can set it to start immediately, and only run for X hours, after that it changes to a warm setting. I love it!

I use the warmer in a clinic setting. It doesn't take long to heat up but there isn't a temp control so I find I have to turn it off at times because the towels get too hot. I am using damp towels and usually turn it on 30 min prior to seeing patients. then turn it off and on as needed. I love it though. does what I need it to
