How long does this kettle take to boil water?

it depends on the temperature you select and how much water you are boiling. i think full and on the hottest setting it takes about 5 minutes, and with just enough for one cup on the hottest setting no more than 2 minutes. Ball park times i am usually running around when using this kettle :)The kettle beeps when the boil is complete and will keep warm until you are ready in case you miss it. I have found these functions work really well in my morning rush.

It is conveniently fast, I hadn't timed it for a full boil so I just did and it took 7 minutes and a bit to bring 1.75 Liters to full 200C. Here in Minnesota at this time of the year the water is very cold.The keep warm feature will re temp the water once holding it for 15 minutes and then shut off. I usually use 160C for Chinese green tea and that takes about 5 minutes, just enough time to prepare the pot for tea. I truly am very pleased with the Cuisinart kettle.

I have the plug in type, and I also have the one for the car or rv. I would say it will boil water in about 3-4 minutes, depending on how hot you like your water.

Hi Deborah, as I said in my review the full kettle set to the highest temperature takes 6 minutes to come to a full boil. Lesser amounts of water or lower temperature settings will take a shorter time. I don't know if geographic location is an issue for you. I am located about in the middle of the United States.Judy

Around 4 minutes. We have had faster kettles on 110 volts but this one looks good and is reliable so far.

That depends on how much water you have in the kettle and if the water is warm or cold when you put it in. My guess is it take about two or three minutes, on average. It is definitely faster than a manual kettle on the burner. By the way...I have used electric kettles all my adult life. This is one of the best I have ever had. My friends have admired my kettle and bought one for themselves. So did my church!

I'm not sure about "faster than a microwave" but if you put in a cup or so of water, it will take about a minute to boil

120V 840W 60Hz. When the water is completely new, it takes about 10 minutes to boil. When the pot has been on, it takes about a minute to reboil.

Ive never timed it. It heats up quickly but it would depend on size of pot and how much water.

i haven't actually timed it but it is quite fast. the cheap one we bought as a temporary fix when my good one finally wore out was so slow it drove me crazy! i would say less than 5 minutes for a full pot.

It takes approx. 18 minutes to heat to boiling. However, I returned this unit & purchased a more expensive Zojirushi(sp?) because it did not heat to the indicated temp, nor would it keep the water at a sufficient true temp to do pourover coffee, which is what I purchased it for. The Zojirushi takes a similar time to heat to boil, but works all day long to keep water at indicated temp. It(zojirushi) even worked well at an outdoor event on a cold day, though for that I had pre heated water that I poured into the unit to get & keep at proper temp.

Maximum fill; about 4 minutes. Water stays hotter than the previous Oster kettle from Target.

I'm not sure. I usually put cold water in and have a gas stove an it seems to boils pretty quick. There are a lot of variables though that go into how fast it will boil on different stoves, etc. It definitely does not take longer to boil than any other teapots I've ever had.

Sure, warm and barely cooking. Our friends have the kettle as well, and it will cook anything in 5 to 10 minutes. This takes 2 to 3 times as long to cook.

green tea water should not come to a rolling boil- stop heating right before kettle whistle starts. Steep for no more than 3 minutes- 2 is really optimum for me.

no way. i mean, it takes longer the more water you have in it, but this is by far the fastest way to boil/warm up water. so much faster than my stove. but i never remember it taking 7 minutes to boil.

you can get 4 mugs of water in it. gee I have never timed it. this was a gift for a blind person. he doesn't use a stove anymore so needed a whistle kettle that was electric. I was finding it hard to find one. the whistle isn't very loud but not to bad. I would say it takes maybe 3 min. to heat to boiling for a full kettle. it just seemed very fast. I will be visiting him on Thurs. I can time it for you and reply again. lol uses it quite often and still running great.

1 liter - the full kettle - takes 3 1/2 minutes for a rolling boil. I haven't timed the half kettle, which is what I usually use, but it goes much quicker. This kettle has proven its worth in size and convenience over and over for me.
