How long will the kettle hold water at the temperature that you've chosen? Is there a timer that will shut off?

It is about 35-40 minutes. There is a beeping noise that sounds when it is shutting off from the auto shut off feature.

The kettle comes up to temp and then stays there for a period of time... it automatically shuts off. You will love it!

There is a timed shut-off for this kettle. We use our kettle in a science lab, to provide a source of water at an exact temperature. The kettle holds the temperature very nicely for about a half-hour before it shuts off.

No, it's simply and on/off process. I do try to control the temperature of the hot water that I heat. I try to heat to 170 degrees F for my coffee; it makes a more readily drinkable brew without overheating it. I determined that 170 degrees is the temp at which the surface of the water starts to shimmer. So, I used a timer to figure out how long a predetermined amount of water took to reach this state, and that's what I use to get the temp that I want. I've been doing this for at least six years with different brands of kettles. The time has varied from 2:00 to 2:45 min. to get about 16-20 oz. of water to the surface shimmer. I burned out my last kettle when it was accidentally switched on without notice. It didn't have an empty-pot shutoff feature. That's the main reason that I got this pot. Hope this helps.

It hits the temperature you programmed without going over it. If you want the temperature to stay constant at that level, then the kettle will turn on as soon as the temperature drops one degree, then turn off again as it hits the temperature you set. In my experience, it has been pretty accurate.

//// April 9 - I tried this again today, using an electric timer instead of my dear old analog watch, and the full pot took 7.75 minutes from start to shut off.////April 7 - I hadn't really thought about that, so I timed it this morning. From cold to boiling shut-off took my kettle between 9 and 10 minutes, maximally full. My kettle is maybe 9 months old now - use it several times a day and really like it!

Yes, once the kettle is removed from the stand regardless of being at the hold setting it will shut down.

Yes. If you don't press the "HOLD" button (which maintains the temperature for 1 hour), it automatically shuts off when the selected temperature is reached.

Yes, it does. I'd estimate about an hour to an hour and a half, depending on hot hot your water started. It's roughly 2 hours until the tea hits room temperature (which only happens when I forget about it).

Sure...if the kettle reach the temperature you set, it shut. it also has a function 'keep temperature' which kettle remain a temperature automatically.

It will stay on and keep re heating the water,however,I wouldn't leave it on for hours,but if you were going to want to have a second cup in a half hour or so,you could leave it on as long as it has water in the little tank.

Yes, it shuts off automatically. However, if you lift the kettle from its base before it clicked off and put it back, it will keep boiling (and then turns off when it's ready.) Other models I've had in the past switched off when the kettle was picked up. You get used to it though.

It cannot do what you are asking. You can set it to water for up to 45-55 mins then it stops the water. It cannot be set to start again. Hope this helps!

Yes - it shuts off automatically after it reaches temperature, or after 1 hour if the "hold" feature is selected. I believe it also shuts off if it boils dry, but I have not put it to that test yet.

Hey Mavis,Sorry, but I've never 'timed' it. I just fill the kettle, set my surface burner to a low level, and do something else while I wait for the whistle. Royfill

No timer. It just keeps warm after it has gone through the boil cycle after water has been added. To turn on/off, just plug and unplug... No on/off buttons.

Since I haven't used my timer in the winter, I've forgotten specifics but I do know that it CANNOT be set to water for 10 hours at a time!! I believe it can only be set to water for 4 hours at a time.

If you want to shut off recommend just buying a simple water timer you can get a any home improvement store. You can have it run for hours and it shuts off automatically. Works like a charm for me.

It takes as long as you want it to. You can use it as a pour over and not wait, or let it steep for a couple minutes using the shut off. It all depends on your taste preference.
