How accurate are the temperature settings? I had to move the dial to 3 or 4 white marks ABOVE the green zone to get 180 - 185.Thank you for your input.

There's a range for brewing green teas as you know. I had to go backwards 3 stops to get the 180 that I was looking for. That's 3 clicks lower than the top of the green tea range.

You do have test the settings initially to find out what temp corresponds to what color. I just used a instant read thermometer to find out. Now I know where to set it for coffee or tea. It shuts off consistently at the setting.

I only brew at medium. Medium is the temperature I expect it to be. I have not tested the other temperature settings.

I honestly couldn't tell you because I only use it for boiling water for my tea, so I have never used it on anthing but the highest setting. It boils my cup of water in about two or three minutes

I have found it to be accurate within a good degree, a tiny bit on the warm side if you want to be very technical but for the cost it is accurate and has held its temperature settings for over the last year I have owned it.

The dial works but you cannot set the temperature there to the specific degree you want. I tested it with a thermometer until it reached more or less the temperature I want. My perception is that it not always stops at the same degree but it works for me anyway. Is better that another I had that only stops when is is boiling.

The trouble is that the temperature setting cannot account for how much water is in the kettle. So the lower settings will produce a different result with different amounts of water. I found this annoying, and, in fact, the reason I returned the product.

I got the kettle for my brother, and he loves it. I've tried a couple of times at different settings, and it worked well. My brother says the temps are good. The nice thing is that it's a knob; if it's a little hot to you, just turn it down. There's no digital readout to lie. :)

Depends what you mean by accurate, since there are no numbers on the dial. I suggest getting a thermometer and testing the temps. On mine, the temperature I want for green tea is just slightly lower than the range of the green section, but I like the water cooler than most people want. Once you test it a few times, you will know what the dial range is, and you can get pretty close temps without measuring every time.

you can find the manual if you do a search on the delonghi site. however: in theory, if you push the green button your heater will maintain at around 68/70 degrees. if you don't like that, turn it off (green light off) then, you will have to slowly turn the other dial up or down, waiting 15 minutes between adjustments to let the room get to the approximate desired temperature. oil heaters have some lag. i keep mine on medium power setting (one of the switches on, other off) and it works great.

I would be wary of the accuracy, there are "dead spots". I ordered two of these and both of them had a "dead zone" of about 6 degrees (from 76F-82F) where it would show it was 76 until it suddenly spiked to 82.

You can set this on the lowest temp on the dial. It should be good. Mine is set a little higher, but I get up during the night and turn it off as I get too warm. I could adjust the temp control, but I use it to warm my bed, then after I get warm, I just switch it off. I also have a mattress pad over this pad, so I do not lay directly on the pad. You shouldn't have any problems, because it definitely has a "low" setting. Just keep checking it until you find the comfort zone.

The only settings on the cord are: Warm, 270, 320, 370, 420. It does not indicate any other temperatures. My guess would be "no", it won't go down to 150. I usually use the 270 setting on this when I would have used 350 on my old griddle. The numbers do not seem accurate at all.

It is supposed to be factory set at 165 F how accurate that is is hard to tell. Let unit heat up for 30min and use a thermometer to check running temp

Hi John,I was able to adjust mine at at least 2 settings. Granted I'm running a 180 degree thermostat. Iniallialy it was opening around 170 with the running to often. I now have it opening between 178 and 180 degrees. Are you running a 200 or 210 thermostat? Maybe there are less options at higher temps. Not sure on that one. Perhaps you have faulty module. Make sure you have your probe a short distance from the radiator inlet. I know the closer to the inlet the truer the temp readings are.Good Luck John

I would say 32-150f? Basically just calibrate it at the same temperature you will be using it at. I like this unit a lot.

1500 watts, not sure about the temperature, the gauge is just 5 levels as demonstrated by the picture on Amazon and not really labelled how high the temperature goes on the dial. I pretty much leave it at max all the time, anything less seems to not work very well or your food cooks really slow. Frankly don't remember where I put the manual and too lazy to go digging up for it at this time.

Looking at it I have to say zero which would be off, warm which would have to be between 0 and 200 degrees since the next ranges are 200, 250, 300, 350, and the last 400 degrees. I have not used a thermometer to check the accuracy since it is a recent purchase, then again I haven't had reason to. Hope this is helpful Queen!

I've had mine for 2 months, set the dial at halfway, it took 24hrs to cool, the temp is around 48*, there's no other dials, so just return it

I haven't checked mine, but it's nowhere close to 140-150F; it's more in the 200F Range. Something is definitely wrong with your Machine.Did you descale it regularly? Maybe that's something to look at.

I used to check tap temp. Accurate. Fluid surface temps do vary though. Very accurate on everything else. Good value.

The ambient temperature on mine appears to be accurate. It does short cycle like others have mentioned.

About 75 to 95. But its not super accurateIn my 30 calling its about 4 or so degrees off on the low end so I have to keep it set to 86 to maintain 82

I am not sure. On low we're supposed register it at 100, but I find it is not a true reading. It seems to run hotter on all settings. The more I use mine, the less satisfied I am with this product.

I have the dial model and the temperature on it is totally accurate. I tested it with a proper thermometer. It is excellent
