How long does it take for the iron to reach the heat since you switch it on?

To be honest, I'm not quite sure. Not long. I have never really paid attention but I guess it heats up fast enough otherwise I would have noticed it.

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.

When it is on, the iron is heated. It does not overheat to my knowledge or experience.

I don't recall. I just know it didn't get hot enough to suit me and I didn't like it kept turning off. I'm not a quilter, and when pressing a garment I want the iron on and HOT. I returned it.

Does this iron shut off every 10 minutes? If so, to turn the iron back on, do I just hit the "on" button?

It starts to get warm in 2-3 minutes, but 10-15 minutes makes the towels toasty, so turn it on ahead of time.

I haven't timed it, but if the water is hot is happens pretty fast.. I'd guess three to five seconds.

The iron is turned on and temp selected by a twist dial on the body of the iron. I bought this for my wife, who has gone through 4-5 different irons in as many years it seems... she likes this one the best. :)

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.

After not using the waffle iron for a couple of weeks, it took 6.5 minutes to warm up and 4 minutes to cook. I know a month ago the waffle iron took at most 4.5 minutes to warm up. Maybe it is because my house is not as warm as it was in early December. The waffles are still great.

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've used this iron for several months now and very happy with it. Time from turn on to 725 degrees is about 30 seconds. Spare heat element and lots of tips to choose from too. In my opinion it's a great iron at a very good price.

It has 3 way shut-off. If the iron is left unattended on its soleplate (flat), it turns off after 30 seconds. If it is left unattended on the heel (vertical), it turns off after 8 minutes. To turn back on, just begin to iron again.

Yes there is an automatic shut off. If you leave the iron horizontal "Hot" side down, off in 30-seconds. Leave iron in vertical on its stand, off in 15-minutes.

It has a button on each side, left side to raise the temperature and right side to lower the temperature; 9 different settings. If you hold the button for 3-4 seconds, it shuts the iron off. So it does have an off switch. This is shown on the left side. Really like this iron so far. I've only had it for 3 months.

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.

Should take a half hr. But I took another hr to install a cut out switch. So I can turn it on when needed. It has an auto on off when it senses engine run. But will stay heated even if not needed until the engine is shut down.
