What are the water temperature settings--what temp water can this thing produce? And it fast to boil water from room temp? Does it put out much steam?

There are 3 temperature settings (208, 194, 140C). It boils water in (or about) 5-6 minutes. It doesn't put out much steam from the vent - unless the lid is opened when water is hot. Hope this helps.

There are three levels for the temp (warm, hot, very hot). you just press middle of button and will automatic boil water to be hot. let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks and you have a nice day!

There are three temperature settings on this heater: 208, 194(energy saving), and 140. I've set mine to 194 and it's hot enough for our everyday use(tea, instant coffee, soup, etc.). It's also fairly fast in boiling the water from room temp and the steam just comes out for a few seconds towards the end of the boiling process. So far we've been so happy with this product and I recommend it.

The boiling temp is 212, it takes about 15 to 20 min. Steam is not too much.

Not much. I measured it with a digital thermometer. Lowest setting was 175F, 1/4 way was 182, and the the middle setting actually boiled the water. So from middle on up is useless. It's hard to find a budget kettle with good temperature control. If anybody has better results, I'd like to know and I'll send mine back for a replacement.

There are lots of variables to consider before answering this question. Is the kettle 100% full? Is the water room temperature? What setting did you select? Overall, I find this kettle to be very good. It heats water to the temperature I choose in a time I am willing to accept. I am happy with it and have been for 1 year.

Hi, I have this kettle and I use it for boiling water for tea (in a tea pot.) I have checked about your question and it will not come back on once it comes to a boil and shuts itself off automatically. However, if the water in the pot is still warm, it really hardly takes any time to come back to a boil by pressing the button again. It also stays warm for a long time. The pot is made of a sort of thermo-plastic and seems to be insulated. The bottom of the pot is made of stainless steel and is very easy to clean if you have hard water (and don't use filtered water in it...) A little vinegar zaps the minerals right out. It also has a micromesh filter at the spout that catches any mineral build up that may have come out of the water (if you use tap water...) I have really loved this kettle. It is much faster than my microwave or the stove top. I like it better than many of the other models because the lid opens wide enough to clean it. I confess that I started out using just filtered water but got lazy about bringing it home and so I use tap water. I get some mineral build up but as I said, it comes right out with just a little vinegar. I'm going to buy another now, because I want one at school and one at home.

There isn't a range. It's not adjustable. It will boil several gallons of water in a few minutes, but there's no "Warm" vs "Hot" setting.

factory default setting is approximately 80 degrees centigrade, more than adequate to make instant teas and coffee. The hot water reservoir can be adjusted to yield higher temperature, but I don't know why anyone would wishes to make it hotter.

This is a picture of the unit I have. I understand the confusion. I have had this for probably 3 years now and really like it. Makes great coffee of your choice. It stays hot(but the plate is never burning hot) for hours. No, there is no way to set the water temp. I had a water line put in the wall so that it automatically fills(I don't have to put in water-I am SO lazy!!)Please contact me if you have further questions

Don't know the exact temp, but pretty hot. We use ours for "hot pot" and it brings water/soup to a boil rapidly.

No temperature control. On/off. Output high, low, auto of fan speed. Humidity selection. The temperature of water used can reach 92 degrees. I hope this response is helpful.

I have used them with great success! very happy. I am not sure what you are asking about Temperature? it will work great in above 32 deg Farenheit = 0 celcius and I do not see any problem with it up to 50 Deg Celcius ( or 125 Fahrenheit) How hot or cold do you want to use it for? It works very reliable. I use it in $10'000 water features indoors.

I haven't used it for water only, but...the directions say that it does. You can custom set to heat to 212 degree (which is the temp. fo boiled water) with a max. 10 minute brew time. I suspect that would definately boil the water for you. You just need to select that option. It will keep it hot for you also, for up to 4 hours I think (I do not currently have the directions in front of me). It is like that for the tea anyway. You will not regret purchasing this. I it is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time.

This unit is rather large & sort of bulky....i just got one the other day, and i still have lots of questions...i assembled it, and filled it with some water & waited until the light came one & tried it out, but i don't think i had the right attachment....i too would like to know how hot the steam gets & what all can i use this on? i thought it might be good to clean some of our grandson's toys, etc...i think i'll call the info number this week....

Sorry, I only use mine to heat water for French Press and Aeropress Coffee. I can tell you it holds whatever temp you set it to for the 1 hour as advertized. It has been very reliable thus far.

Keep in mind, you're boiling water to make steam with this device. It will collect minerals that will hamper its performance over time, especially if you use tap water. I wouldn't call that dirty, though. The temperature to which the water must be heated to boil will kill most any germ you might worry about.

The temperature water turns to steam ( water vapor) is 212 degrees f. To get it any higher iit must be put under high pressure. So 212 degrees is what you're going to get out of any steamer that you would use in the home.

Not sure what everyone is talking about. I own this unit and it puts out a fair amount of steam when reboiling. If you're reboiling from almost empty it puts out a good amount of steam for about a good 30 seconds.

I live at an altitude where water boils at 205 degrees F (96c). I tested the new kettle twice at each setting with 1 liter of water. The water started at approximately the same temperature 70 F (21c)c. I used a calibrated thermoprobe secured 1/2 inch above the stainless plate at the bottom. At the high setting I measured 205 F; at the middle setting 205 F; at the low setting 197 F. So either mine is defective or the advertising is misleading. I'll call T-Fal and see what they say.
