How long does this take to warm up enough to use?

It is made to stay plugged in all the time so as soon as you plug it up, you can put towels on it. It will only get towels barely warm after 12 or so hours. If you put wet towels on it, by the next morning they will be dry but not very warm. Definitely safe around young kids. It is a good idea, but, in my opinion, did not make the cut. We returned it.

It takes a few minutes to warm up. After that, if you leave it on, it will blast out fog for about a minute on and a minute off...and so forth. If you turn it off with the remote switch then you can have the blasts when you want after it has warmed up. I bought this for Halloween for my front porch and it is perfect. I turned it on in my house when I first bought it and after five minutes I could not see the end of the hallway nor my bathroom across from it.

It might depend on the setting, but I've been able to let it heat up 20-30 mins and use it approximately 30 mins with no problem.

About an hour if you know what you are doing. Make sure you read and follow instructions.

It warms up almost right away if you are printing from the paper tray. But if you are using the multipurpose tray, then it will take about 30 seconds.

The unit warms up in about five minutes, but it takes a lot longer, 30 minutes usually, to get get a fairly thick towel nice and toasty.

The lowest setting typically takes at least 10 mins to warm a cold bottle of 3oz formula. I typically use the lowest setting when to start warming the formula while I bath my baby. The good thing about this warmer is it goes off when the set temp has been reached abd starts off again if the water needs to be warmed to maintain the set temp. I have had it about a month and feel it is safe, but as with all appliances you can't be too careful so I always unplug when not in use, even though it has this self regulating feature to prevent overheating and such

It depends on how long it is first heated in the microwave. We use it a lot and get between 30-40 minutes of heat from a 3 minute warmup, as per the directions

It takes about 2 minutes for it to warm up before it's ready to brew. But after its all warmed up and you press the double shot button it takes about 20 seconds to brew. Make sure the doors to all the bedrooms are shut because its loud for the wee hours of the morning, but all espresso machines are loud. By the time you carefully scoop the coffee without making a mess with the grounds it should be ready to brew as soon as your finished with the grounds and your cup (and the chocolate and sugar if you're making a mocha and blah blah blah...)

About 3-5 minutes for initial heating. It will be done reheating by the time the fog runs out if you use it continuously on. I used it outside for Halloween and there was always fog out

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.

Good question...it does warm up initially...takes about 45 seconds, I guess, unless you left it "on" constantly.. Then it's good to go for multiple cups and fires them out very fast. So to be clear, it does take longer than 15 seconds, if you just did one cup.

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 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.

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

Usually 20 minutes but I have noticed the heat intensifies slighty when used numerous times in a row. That's a good thing :D

There is about 3 to 3.5 minutes at the end for cool down. No added time for warm up, unless you do the 12 minute "Cold Start." I do the program early in the morning and have never done the Cold Start and it's been fine without. I also suggest doing your own stretches instead of the "cool down" as the stretches Tony does are not great, in my opinion.
