How long should warm-up actually take?

Question

VerdictAI · Accepted Answer

Sub-90-second warm-up is the modern baseline. The Scotch TL1302X advertises under a minute and Crenova claims 60 seconds; the Scotch PRO TL1306 lists a 1-minute warm-up. Cheap 9-inch machines often need 3–4 minutes. Reviewers note that real-world warm-up is usually a bit longer than the spec sheet, especially for 5 mil pouches.
