What is the temperature range? I want to buy it for senior people.

I'm not sure of the exact temperature rang. The hottest setting boils the water. I drink a lot of green tea so I keep mine set at the lowest. I love mine and I purchased one for my mother who loves her too.

Don't buy it for anybody. It will last less than 2 years. I bought it in 2012 and it died a couple of months ago. I always boiled the water to the hottest setting. I can recommend the Proctor Silex but I just bought it that costs less and boils faster - (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HKTZCO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1).I'll let you know if it makes it to 2016!

I use the hottest setting as I make tea with boiling water. If the senior has issues with weakness or tremors, I would worry more about that, as even the lowest setting could cause a scald. It's heavy, but I rarely fill it full. BTW, I am a senior.

With boiling water, unless pressurized, limited to apx 220 where it just turns to steam, I guess you're referring to how hot the outside of the pot gets & I can confirm that the plastic surface, while very warm, will not burn the hand. On 'the other hand', they must have their wits about them as well as the hand strength to maneuver a pot of boiling water that can easily be overfilled; the pot's fairly light weight but, with above one liter water, the position of the handle can put strain on the hands/wrists of the elderly while they try to safely pour out boiling water. And some 'old folk' might think they're able to fill the pot to near the top which is a real 'no-no' both as to their safety and the proper operation of the pot ['full' the thermostat won't work properly].

The temperature control in the front is not marked with degrees but the unit does heat from warm to boiling. There is not a way to fix the dial in one position. Filled to the max 1.7 liters it is quite heavy so keep that in mind. The last Vitesse kettle I had lasted over 10 years and is still working.

I really don't know. I purchased for a niece and she is really happy with it. Sorry I can't help.

You can change the range of temperature by adjusting the thermostat but just in my OWN mind I think it may be more trouble than older folks want to deal with or think about. If you show them before using though - perhaps it will just stay where you set it. I know my own mother was confused.

Not much. I measured it with a digital thermometer. Lowest setting was 175F, 1/4 way was 182, and the the middle setting actually boiled the water. So from middle on up is useless. It's hard to find a budget kettle with good temperature control. If anybody has better results, I'd like to know and I'll send mine back for a replacement.

I just checked...The setable temperature range is 113 degrees to 167 degrees.

Thermoelectric coolers are all limited by the outside room temperature since they don't have a compressor like a fridge. It's the trade-off since compressors vibrate which you don't really want for your wine. So it the room is 80, the cooler won't go below 65 or so.

Haven't used it in a while, so I'm not tooooo sure. But I believe it's 70 degrees.

The manual calls out the temperature range as 51F to 64F. I confirmed this by clicking the up/down controls... 51F to 64F is the hardware limit. Whether or not the machine can actually reach 51F is untested, but I have to believe the manufacturer would make sure this was the case when so clearly stated.

Each person is different and their tolerance to climate is going to be different. I tend to overheat easily and found that 45-65 with this product is great. It keeps me cool in the warmer weather and warm in the colder weather. However 65 might be the extreme of this weight. I would suggest a light weight merino wool base layer if you are going to be in 60+ degree weather. You can always strip down a layer but it is hard to strip off your base layer :)

We love ours. It heats the area well. We keep it between 1&2 most of the time keeping our heat at about 70 degrees. We love in northern Maine where temps have been -20 and up to -40 on a pretty regular basis and it has been extremely reliable. I haven't let the temperature get down to 45 to test that theory.

I don't know about the temperatures... I returned mine for another malfunction sorry

There is no temperature range stated in degrees. There are three settings, high, medium and low.

We live at 9100 ft in Colorado. Temps have gotten down to -18 and we haven't had any issues. It's a great machine really.

Pat, I live in Iowa -10 to 95 temp range. This is working fine for me. Good Luck.

Best I can tell the range is from 46F to 66F. We leave it about 54F. To us that's a reasonable drinking temperature.

It has low medium and high. It has thirteen different temps that you can set. Not sure of the exact temp. It is warm than extremely hot.

good evening,the set point temperature range is 45F TO 90F which 45f would be the lowest set temp.i hope this helplove the unit work really well.

From 70 to 166 and that's hot--at least really warm. And you can extend the time easily, in addition to the temp. I love this thing and I was always a "thermophore" person before. I've had this one for about 6 months.

Just got one, and works like a charm!! Says in the manual, not to be used below 65F or above 110F.

The can just states that ideal temperature range is 50 to 85 degrees Farenheit. There is no max. temperature specified anywhere.
