Does this kettle beep when its reached boiling point? I like to get on with other things and know when the kettle's boiled. Thanks.

no, it doesn't beep. it automatically shuts-off. if you missed the shut-down, just turn it back-on and depending on how hot the water is, it'll take that long to reboil to max.

No, but the switch flips off. There is an audible click and the illuminated switch goes dark. This kettle is very fast! If you are only making enough water for a cup of coffee or two, it will be ready in about as much time as it takes to toast a slice of bread.

NO it does not beep, but it takes such a short time, that you won't get much done prior to it being ready.

The only sound you hear is that of the water boiling. In other words, the sound you hear is not from the kettle but from the water when it has reached it's boiling point. You may hear a slight click indicating the kettle has shut off, but these are the only sounds I've heard while using this kettle.

It does beep when it's done. There are no instructions on silencing the beep. Sorry. I like it telling me when it's done.

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

Yes, it beeps when you push buttons. The buttons don't have any tactile feedback so that's to let you know when you've got a successful press. The noise is momentary and it seems like a reasonable sound and volume for a button push.

The coffee maker does not beep after it's brewed the coffee. It just sits there and waits for you to drink what the timer activated. But I'd suggest not setting the time to brew the coffee an hour before you're going to get up or it will be cool by the time you do plan to drink it!

No.... there is no alert such as a beep or whistle.............but there is a light on the on lever that comes on when you turn it on and goes out when the water is ready. You can also tell by the sound of the water boiling in the pot when it is ready the boiling noise stops. Hope this helps.

Hi, Carol. The reason was already answered by Bharti U Pandit; as pressure builds in, some of it has to be released. This pressure cooker doesn't make a continuous noise after the pressure builds in, it blows a 'whistle' intermittently, the more often the higher the burner of the stove - I find the whistles very useful because I can count them even when I'm not in the kitchen. Gradually I was able to know how many whistles before potatoes (2-4), black beans (10 or more, if not soaked overnight), chickpea (15 if not soaked overnight) etc would be cooked. Hope it helps.

It doesn't whistle. The unit makes a noise (something like a grumble) while heating & you can hear it click off when it's reached a boil. I'll admit I originally wanted a whistle, but in the grand scheme of things it wasn't a must-have feature. Our stove-top kettle whistles, but the Vitesses uses so much less energy because it's so fast, rather than turning a gas range on numerous times in the day; you really don't have to wait long enough to need a whistle. By the time I turn it on, get out the tea cup & bag, the water's ready!

no but I can tell you I was not happy with Kettle. I purchased two other ones and they were fine. This whistle never worked.

The kettle does not whistle. The boiling is very vigorous on the high setting, but if I am two rooms away, I cannot hear it shut off.

As others have noted, mine doesn't whistle at all. That is a problem that never even occurred to me before i purchased this--you can forget it's even heating without the whistle and boil the kettle dry. Is this a fire hazard? Too bad, it's a great product otherwise but if I can't figure out how to fix or replace the whistle then I don't want it in my home (fire hazard).

No--it does not whistle. The only sound it makes is the click of the automatic shut-off when it has boiled--and you also hear that the sound of boiling has stopped.

There is no beep sounds at all. It is a quiet kettle except for the water boiling.

... I ordered this Tea Kettle but did use it. After I ordered it, I saw another one that I liked better, ordered it. When the one you're asking about arrived. I sent it back. Sorry I cannot help.Regards,Dave

It beeps after the pre-heat and when finished or when you hit the start-stop button.The sound level is not too loud and when finished it beeps five times which is just enough too alert me when I am sitting in the other room watching television.Sorry for the late response.

Never heard a beep. It just shuts off, even the heating plate does not stay on. I have returned the one I bought. Really frustrated with the thermal carafe. Although it does keep the coffee hot for a long while, I would suggest you put a towel down before serving out of this thing. Thanks for letting me vent . .
