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

It does heat up after about 20 minutes of continuous use however it is not unbearably hot more warm to the touch and at least for me, it is only at the tip of the handle. About an inch or two above the switch. It doesn't actually get hot on the head of the massager.

I'm not an expert on these things. The settings I use are "on setting 10 sec." off settings 15 secs." and when I turn it on I never go very far above the on off switch. In other words I turn it on low and that is where I leave it. I've forgotten it and left it on all night and it didn't use that much oil. That is all I know.

You have to stand and hold the button..It gets hot and shuts off and you have to wait for it to cool.. Maybe 3 minutes..

It takes about 10 to 15 minutes maybe 20 depending on the temperature you want to heat up then let the sweat begin. I hope that helps. Thanks

Maybe 15-25 minutes. I have 220 and heats up to that in less than 5 minutes. Not real sure but its a good heater for money and you can use differ fuels.

Where do you live? Has it now turned warmer there? One of the last times I used my heater, about a month ago, it only ran for about 15 minutes and then turned itself off. I happen to have a couple small thermometers in my bedroom, so I noticed the temp was warmer than the 68 setting I had the unit turned onto. I did use it a couple times after that in the bathroom which is on a very shady side of the house and the heater worked like normal. So I think it's just smart enough to know when it's not needed. This is just a guess on my part.

Generally it only takes a couple minutes to heat up, to get to full heat maybe up to 5 minutes. So if you need it for a specific amount of time that may need to be added to how long you put as the timer.

I believe that my microwave is an 1100 W unit. I usually warm for 2 mins. Seems like it gets even warmer for a few mins. after I remove it, but then it does eventually cool down. This holds the heat very well, and I may warm even less the next time I use it. You have to trial and error it. If it's too hot, wait a few mins. before you use it. Next time you warm it, try 15 seconds less. Or you can warm for 30 secs. and feel it then rewarm it till you get the temp you want. I like mine as hot as I can stand it so I don't have to rewarm it as quickly. I like it. Hope that helps.

I havent a clue why it would take longer...sure you have the button with the heat source on...if so...maybe the heating unit is going out???? I dont use mine that much so I cannot really say-except what a bummer...

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

I would have to say about 1-2 minutes with the adjustment setting at max. The instructions suggest heating up at max, then dialing down as needed. Great soldering iron set

Not long. I have two of these and they come up to temp in about 10 minutes or so.

If you heat it for about 6 minutes, it gets pretty darn hot. It will stay warm for about half an hour.

I'm sorry if I confused you. Yes you have to hold the switch. I think that is a safety issue. If you keep the switch down it would be burn you. It gets very hot. I love mine

I just ran mine in a 69 degree house for 16 minutes. It got warm, but I put it to my cheek with and it was not what I would term very hot. As others have said, heat is expected with this type of light.

It might depend on the setting, but I've been able to let it heat up 20-30 mins and use it approximately 30 mins with no problem.
