Is it possible to keep it warm for longer than 20 minutes?

It doesn't stay hot enough for me without popping it back in the microwave for about a minute every 15-20 minutes.

I don't think so....but, the time it is warm feels really good. The only pads I have ever found to last a longer period of time are the electric ones.

I would go with an electric one if you want heat for a longer time period. I like this one because there is no cord to deal with.

Becky, I am sorry it would only stay hot 30-60 minutes at the most if not plugged in. Diane

I don't! I only use it for cold, but I have found that with most things like this, it's a good idea to heat in 25 second increments. Heat 25 seconds, turn the item over. Heat again, turn it over, etc... until it is the temperature you want.

I've never tried it that long, but I imagine it would be warm at best after 24 hours.

I highly suggest it!! It's 20mins if you decide to use a heated hooded dryer. I keep mine in while I do house work.

No. I don't think that would be a good idea. However , it does keep my coffee and tea hot, then nice and warm for up to two hours. I love it!

It actually doesn't take too long I say 30 minutes to get real hot but it gets warm around 20

Meh. I found the optimum temperature to cure this - in a reasonable time - very warm. The kind of very warm where you can still keep your fingers on it without too much discomfort. If it's too hot to keep your finger on for more than 3 seconds, your gonna melt the surrounding material. If you can control the heat gun to maintain that level of heat over a 15 to 20 minute period, then you're good. Patience is the key. The heat transfer tool?? A joke. You'd be there for a good 2 hours with it.

I'd lean a bit more towards 20 minutes, but I usually don't pay attention because it just seems to do it's job.I've mentioned before that after the body side of it seems to cool down to the point of moving, you'll find substantial heat on the pillow side, if you were so inclined to use one. I actually anticipate that and go to it forthe final heat application after removing the heating pad! This pad seems to be pretty well built now that I'veused it for several months. Not that anyone was asking...

Yes, you can use it to keep things warm. It has an infinite control that goes to very low heat.

Not really no. It's not insulated and like the other reviewer said, there is no keep warm feature. I have heated water at the middle to end of the heat spectrum. I'd say it's warm-cool within 10-20 minutes. I don't feel its a problem for me just because it heats up again just as quickly when I turn it back on. I'd say about three minutes,it's boiling again on the highest setting.

There is no insulation so I am not sure how long it would hold the temperature down.

Have not checked the temp after that long but doubt it will stay warm for 4-1/2 hours. I would say more like 30 minutes.

20 hours. you also have the option to sent the warmer to the amount of time you want to hold something.

this does not stay hot after you unplug it, maybe you can use it 5-10 mins.

It will stay hot much longer than it would in a regular ceramic mug, and the outside will stay cool. After 20 minutes or so you might want to microwave it to warm it up.

Yup, that's what I always do. Just don't warm it over 2 mins at a time or you'll burn a hole in it.
