How long does it take for the water to boil?

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

A full kettle (filled with cold water to the upper line as recommended for max fill) took 5 min to boil on medium heat.

I have never timed how long it takes to boil but it seems faster than all my other tea kettles. This is my first copper kettle.

My gas range has burners with 22,000 and 15,000 BTUs. On the 15,000 unit, the time to steam is about 3 or 4 minutes. On the 22,000 unit, the time is less. Of course, the flame adjustment also makes a difference on both.

Please, do not waste your money on this expensive piece of junk. I expected such high-quality and mine arrived with out the whistle working and taking the lid on and off requires nothing but a jackhammer to work it

It depends on how much water is in it. I usually do a full kettle for brewing iced tea (actually a little over the "max" line) and it takes maybe 5 minutes for a full pot... not entirely sure since I have not timed it, but it doesn't seem long unless you're standing there watching and waiting (LOL).

I timed, it but I don't remember now maybe around 4 to 4 1/2 minutes, but as one who uses a lot of hot pots both in the country and out, it boils pretty quickly. US wattage was pretty good. I think it is well made and has a switch on bottom for changing voltage, just a little hard to see. My only complaint is it is a little smaller than the Bodum pot that we replace with this new one, since it broke, but it is a good all around choice other than that.

Just tested for you. A full 1.5L water bring to boil and stop it takes 7 minutes and 50 second on my kettle.

From my experiences, 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the eggs I am boiling.

Water boils in 1-4 minutes depending on how full it is. Not only is it great for hot drinks, it's a great time saver for boiling water for pasta, etc. since you can quickly get up to boiling temperature before you put the water in the pot. I was considering a single-cup brewing system until I got this. No need for it now thanks to this product.

I would say at least an hour. I'm always done with mine before it gets cool. I use it for my coffee too.

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.

Hello. It takes roughly 10-15min to come to a complete boil after filling with water. That's an estimate, but it doesn't take long at all. If you want to reboil, and the unit is already plugged in, it can take less than that depending on your temperature setting.

About 5 minutes give or take to boil. I love this product but the only thing is, I'm using it more than I thought I would so I would have bought the next size up. 3.2 sounds like enough but then I started using it for other things because it is so handy.

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.

Not long, about 5-7 minutes. Put a timer on because the pot does not whistle and before you know it the pot is boiling.

If you fill it to the top with cold tap water it takes about 2 and a half minutes to boil.

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.

I've never boiled water in it. Put the water AND the rice in at the same time. About 30 minutes to perfect steamed white rice. I've heard that brown rice takes a little longer.

I measured 3 quarts of water into the kettle....it was very full, but not overflowing. It took about 15 minutes, but it did boil. Hope this answers your question!

It's quicker then a normal pot and I would assume it would be as quick as any other electric kettle. It probably depends a large degree on how much water your boiling. It's never taken me 7 minutes but I never fill it to the top.
