how fast can boil water?

If it's full, it takes several minutes. It holds more water than other electric kettles I've had. As long as I din't mindlessly fill it when I only need a cup or two, it's fast.

2-3 minutes when at the minimum level for boiling. About 10 minutes when full.

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

You need to cook with boiling water..some meals require you to add to boiling water and then reduce heat to simmer for 15-18 minutes. Hope this is helpful.

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.

The kettle holds about 6-1/2 cups of water. For a full pot allow 7 minutes to boil. After 20 minutes the water is still piping hot. Great little pot!

This a large cup for boiling water very quickly not a pot for cooking in. It does boil water faster than any other stove I have owned. The cup is titanium

Less than a minute. It is faster than the microwave to heat 2 cups of water.

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've never used just got water, but I would imagine since it has to be boiled for 15 minutes, hot water might not be enough. Unless it's constant SUPER hot water for 15 minutes +.

I timed 2 cups (16 oz) of water to boil at two minutes. I'm at about 1200 meters (4,000 ft) above sea level.

I was surprised how fast the water boiled. It is faster than if I boiled the same amount of water in my kettle at home on the gas stove.

No, it will not boil water. You could make tea/instant whatever with it as it gets plenty hot, but not boiling.

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

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

depends on altitude, amount, fire temp. tea pot with a qt. of water, maybe 10 minutes.

If you like to sterilize your water for 7 minutes, why not just boil it on the stove in an open pot? You can do a lot more a lot faster that way.

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

Well, there's no setting for 205. It's 200, then 212. But tap water (84 in SE Texas summer) to boiling took just under 6 minutes. The light show makes watching a pot boil pass quicker. ;)
