How long does it take to boil a full tank?

Maybe 15-20 minutes?? Not long. And I love the unit because the water stays really hot.

I use one element and I can bring 26 gallons of 20% alcohol mash to a boil in 1.5 hours. I'd say an hour for 13 gallons of water around 22 amps.

I didn't go and measure mine but I use mine to make boiled peanuts. I use a 5 gallon SS pot with 3 gallons of water and 5# of raw peanuts. Water comes to a boil in about 15-20 minutes. With 12,000 btus I'm sure it will take care of your hot pot.

Oh, super fast boiling time....First time, boil and toss the water. Do that a couple times. Then you are good to go.

Depends upon the volume of water in the kettle. Normally, it takes just a couple of minutes if you are boiling enough for two mugs of tea or coffee.

OK, I timed it this morning, and a full pot (water to the max line) took probably 6-7 minutes to completely boil. "Completely boil" means boil for a few seconds and then the "on" button automatically turns off. It starts boiling at around 5-6 minutes, but it's safer to leave it boiling for a little bit to kill the bacteria - that's probably why it doesn't shut off until about a minute later. I normally put in about 2 cups of water in the morning, just enough for my coffee and a little extra, and this takes about 1-2 minutes to boil. It's pretty convenient/saves time when you do it this way. Hope this helps! OK, I timed it this morning, and a full pot (water to the max line) took probably 6-7 minutes to completely boil.

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.

10-15 minutes takes about 20-25 for boil. Great buy for brewing, used mine twice so far.

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.

Tap water, 1L, 5 minutes to full boil, timed with stopwatch. Doubted my results after seeing other answers, repeated with fresh water...same result.

Perhaps I just haven't paid that close attention, as I (like a few of those below)fill my unit as I see it gets to around to 1L left. Thus, it is not when I need the water to be hot, so I am not sitting watching the proverbial pot boil. However, it is pretty quick - under 15 minutes for sure. I am also on cooler well water, but it definitely has not taken more than 15 minutes for 3 full liters of boiling hot water. Once it has boiled, depending on the hold temperature you set, your water will remain hot until you put more cool water in the unit.

I have a gas stove I brew it on medium, takes about 7 to 8 minutes, the electric on a medium settings cant take much longer.

Oh yeah!! I do 90min boils and it has no issues. An extra 30mins would be nothing. Love the pot!!

Yes it does. It will bring a half liter to a rolling boil in about 2 minutes. A full kettle takes about 5 min, give or take.

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.

For the full pot (57 oz) it takes 6 min 15 sec; for just over 32 oz it takes 4 min 40 sec. I've actually never timed it before as I'm not usually watching and waiting, I'm doing other morning chores while its heating up so time hasn't been a concern.

It depends more on your stove and how much water you are boiling. The pot has a large capacity, If you fill it, boiling can take about 10 minutes on my stove, which is a Viking. The less water, the shorter the boiling time.
