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

I wish I knew, because this is a common problem. But I have a suggestion. When you are done using it, donot turn it off! Turn it on the coolest setting, zero I think, and let it cool down with air blowing through it. About 45 minutes. Otherwise you will burn up the heating element!

There should be an evident change in temperature no longer than 30 minutes after activation. Please try a higher temperature setting during the next use. If there is no change in temperature, please contact us!

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.

I've used it on its highest setting and when I do, it doesn't take longer than about 10 minutes to cool down. With that said, the housing can get very hot. The top can get hot enough to burn you if it's on full blast.

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.

Sorry. I checked the manual but there was no max time listed. It explains what to do in case it over heats but doesn't indicate how long before it happens.

I let it run through the 15 min. cycle with heat. It will start right back up if I want it to. Honestly, 15 min. is enough....this thing isn't for pansies. ;)

I'm not sure of an exact amount of time, I've used it for around two hours sometimes more. But if you turn it off between colors or cleaning, I don't think it should get too hot. I do have mine off the carpet though, I would recommend allowing air to flow around it. But overall I haven't burned my hand on it or anything like that. I hope that helps you.

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

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.

I have put mine in low for 7 hours and then it switches to warm for 3. No issues.

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.

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...

I have not measured it but I am guessing around 45 minutes or so. It gets pretty warm, and is very intense. On low setting it will last longer.

I have to say I am so happy with this purchase. It takes approximately about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours to heat.
