how fast does the water boil?

This kettle boils water quickly, perhaps two tea cups worth in several minutes. However, we have had this kettle less than a year and are shopping for a different model. The small latch that keeps the lid closed and opens it for filling is now broken. Other reviews mention this problem, and I am surprised that Chef's choice has not changed the hinge on the lid. So the answer is, the water boils quickly but the unit may not last!

very fast-- if you've never had an electric kettle, being american and all, you'll be impressed by that. I returned my kettle two weeks ago to be replaced because of two defects, have not received one back yet...

I think it depends on the weather conditions and the amount of water you're boiling. In perfect weather, it takes about 5-7 minutes I guess and that's using 1.5 fuel tablets. It's just a simple cup stove and works fine as that. Hope this helps.

It works great and boils water very quickly. It does show all the scale from the water though. Other than that 5 stars

Water boils very quickly...under 5 minutes! I ALWAYS use filtered or bottled water...I think that improves the life of the kettle.

you cab leave it at a preset setting (warm) and it will take about 15 minutes to get there. Or you can turn it on high and in about 1-2 minutes it is hot and you will need to turn the settings down or it will start to boil the water.

It takes only a few minute to get a boiled water. To me, steaming sound is normal and not noisy.

I use it boil water using a volcano stove set up. So at least hot enough to boil water.

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.

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

It's about 5 pounds or so. It boils water so quickly. I love it no matter what it weighs!

YES! That is one of the main reasons I bought this unit. It's faster than my gas cooktop at boiling water.

I haven't timed it, but it is very fast. The 1750 amp heater does a fantastic job of heating the water quickly.

It only takes a few seconds for us to get hot water. Ours is used in the kitchen for hot chocolate, tea and to fill pots so they don't take so long to boil on the stove.

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

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

It's easily as fast as a standard teakettle, and after filling with cold tap water, it takes approximately 7-8 minutes, and chimes a toon when it's ready. Heats water to 212 then drops back to it holding temp of 195.

This morning it took exactly 4 minutes to reach 195 degrees F. So I would say 5 minutes for a full boil.
