How long does it take to warm the wipe? I can feel the heat on the ever fresh pad, I can only feel it at the bottom.

I usually fill the warmer with wipes. Then I add the recommended amount of water to the warmer. (I only add water every two weeks or so, not necessarily with each refill of wipes.) The wipes should be warm in just a few hours.

I bought one of those that also did not have a "sponge" then I realized it didn't heat beyond warm...JUNK tossed it. Bought a different brand, it's the exact same piece of crap, except it has the so called "sponge" . It's a cross between a shop towel and a wash cloth. So use a well wrung out wash cloth. Good luck, these things are really a horrible excuse for a "heating pad". Better to use one of those things you can throw in the microwave.

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.

Im not sure I am the best one to answer: I have not used this every day. But I have sometimes rinsed it in hot water or washed off the pad with soap and water. I have not replaced it at all. It is doiing fine for me. If worried, I might clean it with a stronger detergent or maybe rinse with alcohol or something. I guess if it got too grungy I would replace it, but that has not happened so far. As I say, I may not be the best person to answer this question. In any case I am happy with it.

It's not really a heating pad, it's just a fuzzy cloth cover for a heating pad. Hope this helps.

You can use it dry, hence dry heat. Or, you can spray some water on the pad then use it, hence moist heat.

I've had mine for two years. It's not overused, just twice a week for about 10 minutes each time. It feels normal - warm, not hot. Getting too hot to touch in 5 minutes sounds like an electrical problem?

You want to get pad damp first prior to putting on. It heats pretty fast but if you wanna wait a minute or two that's fine. I normally just start right away.

I do not use the pads, they are optional, and I feel no heat coming from the unit near where the pads would go. No real heat at all coming from it, just the mist and a small "white" noise of it running.

I cannot get mine to get passed a very little warm sensation and it is a useless rip off if you ask me! I have never been so disappointed with an item as I have this one. I think that this should be taken off Amazon all together! Sorry I cannot help with your question and sorry you have been ripped off too!

I've had it for over a month. I've seen other pads freeze in sub 20 degree temps. I can't attest to what happens in the conditions u might be speaking about. I would probably only see those conditions if I left my pad in my car in direct sunlight in July. I've never had any pad I've ever had leak, if that's what you're wondering.

The picture is deceiving. The heat on the seat doesn't get red, but the button you press to turn the heat on does. I hope this helps. Press the heat button and wait for a few minutes - you should feel it.

Whenever it is on, there is hot steam coming through the bottom, so it's probably not a good idea to let it sit in one spot on the floor for too long. I think the maximum time is 30 seconds (it gives the exact time in the instructions). To prevent any floor damage, I would lean it against something at an angle so the pad is not flat on the floor surface. Or unplug it, which turns it off. Good luck!

Yes. Unfortunately, like all heating pads now, it goes off after a certain time. Thankfully, with this one it lasts an hour or two. Just love how we're all "protected" now because we're apparently too stupid to use things correctly. Sorry. Venting. :)

Might take about 20 minutes to warm a wet towel, and 5 minutes to warm a dry towel. It keeps the bathroom a little warm and damp-free. Such a pleasure to have.

The heat-penetration is probably directly proportional to the time one has to hold the hot item. [ HP ~ T * t ] I am happy to say that our table is close enough from our oven before it becomes unpleasant. So, yes, I do feel some heat.

I did. Fold along natural lines in the pad and turn the pad half way through the heating cycle. Hope this helps. Sarah
