I have one and it takes around 10 minutes I think, although I haven't plugged it in lately.

to heat up to make it work? Awhile......I'd say for a regular sized one at least a half hour, and you are NOT supposed to leave them on more than 6hrs........can damage them

when you initially buy one it can take up to 2 hours for it to begin to work. when you use it regularly, it should work 20 mins after you plug it in.

That's too bad...

CM2 and I just picked out a new one together for our end table.

About a half hour after the first week of regular use. If you shake it at all, immediately turn it off otherwise the little pieces that break away will stay that way. And don't use it for more than 8 hours-- it'll lose its luster really quickly. Updated On: 9/14/05 at 11:09 PM
