Will this heater boil water not just warm it

Yes, it will bring your water to a full boil. Caution: when the cup or mug starts to boil, it may "bubble" over the rim, so I place our mugs over paper towels. Like any "watched pot" it takes a while to come to a full boil, but the water obviously gets near the boiling point rather fast. When the outside of my mug gets really hot and I can see the water starting to boil, I first unplug the warmer and then carefully remove the heater from the water. Never plug the unit in without it submerged in water. Enjoy! These heaters are great when you don't have easy access to a microwave oven! Yes, it will bring your water to a full boil.

it will boil, however do not mistake it for a rapid boil with large boiling bubbles of water. It will get to a light boil which is still very hot that I still need to let it stand for a minute or two.

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

Yes. The unit is not a traditional heating element heater. You can touch the unit and you will not get burned.

NO. The kettle heats from a plug-in type of hotplate. The kettle fits on a one inch protrusion that heats the water.

My guess is it would, take a while to heat, but I'd think it will. My old heater worked better but this one is OK.

It would heat the water, pretty sure it doesn't truly get to boiling -- but it gets very hot. Just set up as normal, and leave out the coffee. We've also used it to make hot chocolate -- we were told it was best to start with hot water & mix it together first, then add to the urn. Hope this helps!

No the start button must be pressed to activate it at the certain temp you want. Simply applying power to it will not set it in motion to boil or heat water

I don't think so. Heats water about 40 degrees above incoming temp. Warm but not hot.

I have used it to heat up water but not brought it to a boil. Since it has cast burners, I don't think it will get red hot.

It sure will and more. It is continuous hot water! You will love it, but be sure it is installed outside.

It doesn't have a temp dial or gauge. But water does boil in it when it cooks.

It will not boil, but we use it daily to have plenty of hot, hot water to make tea, instant oatmeal, etc

Yes it will. I have used it this way. I also heated water to make hot chocolate and it was too hot to drink at first.

As long as a pot of water left on the stove, it doesn't have a warmer really but the water stays hot until it naturally cools down, never timed it. It heats so quickly it shouldn't be an issue

Not really no. It's not insulated and like the other reviewer said, there is no keep warm feature. I have heated water at the middle to end of the heat spectrum. I'd say it's warm-cool within 10-20 minutes. I don't feel its a problem for me just because it heats up again just as quickly when I turn it back on. I'd say about three minutes,it's boiling again on the highest setting.

once it boils it clicks into keep warm mode. if you forget to turn it off, it turns itself off when water runs low. hope this helps.

It's not meant to go on the burner. You can pour boiling water into it but it's to be used as a teapot on the table, not for heating.
