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!

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!

I don't actually warm it up. I just toast the first slice(s) for 3 min. if I toast more The next slice(s) toast for 2:15 or so (these times are for wheat. White toast takes a little less time.

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

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 takes a few minutes say 3, to heat up. There is a button you push when you want the steam. It can be continuous or only for a few seconds depending on how long you hold the button for.

First, this unit takes awhile to warm up. Also I had to wiggle the power cord a couple of times to get it to come on.Hope this helps

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.

The machine cuts itself off after a certain amount of time ... about 40 minutes, my husband says. It takes maybe 20 minutes to warm the towels (and underwear). Well worth the wait, according to him. This was a great buy!

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.

It actually warms up quickly. I think you might want to the instructions. It took me awhile to do the settings properly. Mine works great. I wouldn't trade it for an electric blanket ever. If it is a defective unit, I would exchange it.

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.

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.

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

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.

The tip give it some time to warm up takes about a half hour or so for the temp to stabilize
