Exactly how long does it take to boil 1.7L of water?

Around 4 minutes. We have had faster kettles on 110 volts but this one looks good and is reliable so far.

it took exactly 5:46.85, now I used cold water out of the tap, and have found that altitude does have an effect on how fast the water boils. my altitude is at 3200ft. hope this helps

Water boils very quickly...under 5 minutes! I ALWAYS use filtered or bottled water...I think that improves the life of the kettle.

OK, I timed it this morning, and a full pot (water to the max line) took probably 6-7 minutes to completely boil. "Completely boil" means boil for a few seconds and then the "on" button automatically turns off. It starts boiling at around 5-6 minutes, but it's safer to leave it boiling for a little bit to kill the bacteria - that's probably why it doesn't shut off until about a minute later. I normally put in about 2 cups of water in the morning, just enough for my coffee and a little extra, and this takes about 1-2 minutes to boil. It's pretty convenient/saves time when you do it this way. Hope this helps! OK, I timed it this morning, and a full pot (water to the max line) took probably 6-7 minutes to completely boil.

Water boils in 1-4 minutes depending on how full it is. Not only is it great for hot drinks, it's a great time saver for boiling water for pasta, etc. since you can quickly get up to boiling temperature before you put the water in the pot. I was considering a single-cup brewing system until I got this. No need for it now thanks to this product.

For the full pot (57 oz) it takes 6 min 15 sec; for just over 32 oz it takes 4 min 40 sec. I've actually never timed it before as I'm not usually watching and waiting, I'm doing other morning chores while its heating up so time hasn't been a concern.

I have no idea.....I use it for camping, with just some sticks and leaves and it boils water in under 10 minutes

I bring water to a full boil, remove from heat for about 30 seconds and then pour. You want it about 200F when you pour it in. Don't pour it in at full boil.

no way. i mean, it takes longer the more water you have in it, but this is by far the fastest way to boil/warm up water. so much faster than my stove. but i never remember it taking 7 minutes to boil.

I have never timed it but, I would guess not more than 5 minutes or so. Of course it depends on the amount of water and how high you set your burner.

I have the plug in type, and I also have the one for the car or rv. I would say it will boil water in about 3-4 minutes, depending on how hot you like your water.

Hi Deborah, as I said in my review the full kettle set to the highest temperature takes 6 minutes to come to a full boil. Lesser amounts of water or lower temperature settings will take a shorter time. I don't know if geographic location is an issue for you. I am located about in the middle of the United States. Judy

The boiling temp is 212, it takes about 15 to 20 min. Steam is not too much.

We usually make 6 cups, and it doesn't take anymore than 5 minutes. I've never actually timed it but it doesn't seem to take very long at all. So a full pot should take approx. 10 minutes.

Ive never timed it. It heats up quickly but it would depend on size of pot and how much water.

A watched pot does boil...in 8 minutes. 1.5 L room temp water. Altitude 797 ft. Unit shut off at 8 min 17 secs.

120V 840W 60Hz. When the water is completely new, it takes about 10 minutes to boil. When the pot has been on, it takes about a minute to reboil.

Am sorry I cannot be exact - best answer from memory is 20-30 minutes. Faster than boiling that amount of cold water on stove top.

Small is about 7 minutes. Medium about 11 and large about 15 minutes. Will take a bit longer if water is warm. Suggest chilled water to speed up process.
