CTHX-01.8-006-KIT reviewed by Susan M. of Haddon Heights, NJ

Thanks for your review. The countertop heater is specifically designed to gently raise the temperature of the heated area an additional 20 to 25 degrees Fahrenheit. WarmlyYours FeelsWarm® Countertop Heaters utilize slow-rise heating elements so that the heating element does not become excessively hot or unsafe. Consequently, the temperature of the stone countertop may take 1 to 1 1/2 hours to warm to the level that the heater delivers. Many of our customers leave the unit on 24 hours a day because of this.
