How rapidly does this heat up, what is the maximum heat and is there auto shut-off?

The directions say to heat the tool for at least 60 seconds before using. It has 10 heat settings with no actual temperatures listed. Settings 7-10 are for thick, coarse hair. Directions say to keep your hair in the tool for no longer than 8 seconds for medium to coarse hair. The tool does not indicate it has an auto shut off feature and it has never shut off on me even when I let it sit untouched for 20 minutes.

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.

It heats up to the temp chosen then when time starts running out it starts cooling off. It produces consistent heat for the time chosen. I always set mine for the max 60 mins

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.

Quite hot. I have never set it above a "3" and that is when I'm wearing a fleece and need it to get through. It heats very quickly, too. Hope that helps.

No, just one setting - on/off, and no automatic shutoff. That said, it gets pretty warm (I'd agree with the commenter who said it reaches about a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10) and it's been working perfectly for 1.5 years now, so for the price it's a good deal.

don't buy it if you need it for anything serious. It has enough wattage but the auto-shut-off temperature was set too low so it does shut off every 1-2 minutes if turned to max heat.

It does not have an auto shut off feature. I pull the plug if I have to leave it. The good thing is it heats up fast when I return.

not an adjustable one, but it does self-regulate. So it goes all the way to max heat and stays there like a hot rock. I haven't pointed my IR gun meter at it yet, but mine is not comfortable to the touch. So I would guess somewhere just shy of 120 F maybe? For what it's worth, you can't really go by that because the palm of the hand is a small surface area compared to the size of the Cozy-Heat itself. It warms my 15ft x 15ft bathroom about +10F in maybe 45 min.

It does not shut off automatically. It screams at you and you turn it off. As someone else mentioned, it cooks so quickly there's no need to go away and have it turn off by itself. I love this little appliance!

It has two settings and you can adjust the fan whether you want it to stay on longer. I always adjusted it at about midway because it puts out a lot of heat. It will heat a medium size room quite well. I know I have been pleased with it. It also has a button on the bottom where if it gets turned over it will automatically. And mine according to how much heat I want dos shut off after it reaches desires temp but it automatically comes back on when temp starts to get lower. It's really nice for backup heat and has a long enough cord.

N0 -Besides the usual On and Off - it only has 3 settings :High-Low and Warm. It does take about 5 minutes to heat up if you start on "high" I don't know how long it takes to heat up on the low setting as I have never tried.But No it is NOT programmable.

This unit has an automatic shut-off after 2 hours, doesn't matter if you use the temp. control or the power settings. It will not work for long simmered stock unless you are around to keep turning it on. I wanted it for that purpose also. I'm returning it and getting a waring burner that has no auto shut off.

None...no real heat produced...you have to keep adding warm water to it....cools off right away

Yes; it turns the heat off after 20 - 30 minutes. If you need more heat, just turn it on again. I feel that the shutoff is a good safety feature.

I have never used auto shut off. When im done I turn it off myself. Its a fire hazard to leave it on! Also it takes 30 seconds to heat up (thats enough time to brush your hair or pin it up) so theres no reason to leave the room. Be safe!

I heats it up pretty quickly, less than10 mins. We've used one of these for years and it works great.

I haven't timed it but it's pretty quick, maybe a 2-3 minutes. It heats up pretty quick, too, maybe 4-5 minutes.
