Hi - Does this kettle boil for a little while before auto-shut off, and if so, for approx how long? Also: Does it beep? Thank you!

Yes it boils for a little while, don't know for how long, sorry. No it doesn't beep when it's ready, there is a slight click as it turns off, but this cannot be heard unless you are close by. Hope that helps?

It "full" boils for 15 to 20 seconds at least. No, it does not beep, but if your hearing is good, you can hear it click off from about 30' The click is not annoying and it only clicks once. I know it seems like a lot, but we love it, and use it 3 to 9 times a day!!! I is so fast, no smell, and looks good. Good luck.

yes, it boils for about 5 seconds before turning off without any beep....however, I thought I was purchasing a rapid boil, which is not the case. Also, I don't like the fact that the interior base of the kettle gets a calcium layer that I see !...not thrilled with this purchase!

The electric kettle shuts itself off after about 10 seconds after coming to a full boil. If you are not in the kitchen and it cools down, you will have to turn it on again. No problem.

It has a timer. It is an adjustable on-off timer that you can set in 30 minute increments up to 7.5 hours. It does beep when you shut it off but it is a quick single beep. It beeps when you turn it on or off but again it is quick and not annoying.

No, it does not shut off automatically at the end of the cooking period. But, it has a beeping sound that goes off once it has reached the preset time.

It beeps when the hot water is ready, and beeps again when the coffee maker is powering off. I don't know a way to turn off the beeps, though...

It shuts off when it begins to boil. (And it doesn't turn on again unless you restart it.) LOVE it.

Yes it does have a beep and shuts off automatically. The beep is not very loud. I have had 3 of these and when they are working they are great. All developed a problem with the base not making contact and not turning on. I have since switched to the Magic Mill MEK-200 which is half the price and have had no problems.

Does not whistle, just a click when it turns off automatically. You can hear it boiling but it is not very loud and that lasts for only about 15 sec.

Yes this kettle has an automatic shut off feature. You can also keep it at the desired temperature by pressing the hold button.

Yes, to both. When set to simply go to full boil, it will beep three times when it reaches temp, then shuts off the heating element. When set to a lower temp, it will beep when it reaches that temp, then will cycle the element on and off to keep the temp approximately where desired. In that latter case, it will not completely shut off since it would defeat the purpose. However, once you lift the kettle off the base, everything resets to 'zero' - no heating, only the display on the kettle lit.

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.

//// April 9 - I tried this again today, using an electric timer instead of my dear old analog watch, and the full pot took 7.75 minutes from start to shut off.////April 7 - I hadn't really thought about that, so I timed it this morning. From cold to boiling shut-off took my kettle between 9 and 10 minutes, maximally full. My kettle is maybe 9 months old now - use it several times a day and really like it!

you can get 4 mugs of water in it. gee I have never timed it. this was a gift for a blind person. he doesn't use a stove anymore so needed a whistle kettle that was electric. I was finding it hard to find one. the whistle isn't very loud but not to bad. I would say it takes maybe 3 min. to heat to boiling for a full kettle. it just seemed very fast. I will be visiting him on Thurs. I can time it for you and reply again. lol uses it quite often and still running great.

The Egg Cooker does not have an automatic shutoff. It detects when all of the water has evaporated during the cooking process and then emits a very audible beeping sound. You then have to manually switch it off. It would be more convenient to have an auto-shutoff but it is not a big deal as long as you are in the general vicinity of the cooker--the beep is loud enough to be heard a few rooms away. It works great.

Yes. As soon as the water reaches a rapid boil (unsure temperature), the kettle shuts off.

Lana, no beep. It takes 10 minutes or less. Youcan draw a cup while brewing & it stops dripping because of a mechanism that stops the flow. The caraffe is super insulated. No need for a warming plate.

My kettle does not beep at all. Turn it on, it boils and lights up with blue color and turns off quietly.
