How long does this kettle take to reach 205 degrees from tap water temp?

This temperature range is what I use daily, and very happy so far. The approximate time is 2 min, w/o timer, and it may be even faster.

Well, there's no setting for 205. It's 200, then 212. But tap water (84 in SE Texas summer) to boiling took just under 6 minutes. The light show makes watching a pot boil pass quicker. ;)

Sorry there is no 205 it goes from 200 tor 212. I've never really timed it but it's fairly quick I would guess 3 mins for the 200 as that's the temp I use for my french press in the morning. 3 mins seems about the time it takes me to get the dogs out and start their breakfast bowls.I just had to find out how long it takes to heat up so this morning I filled the kettle with cold tap water and began. Filled up the kettle to the max line and set it for 200. It took 6 minss, then I hit it again for 212 and it took just another 45 seconds to hit the 212 degree mark. Thats longer than I had estimated so boy my dogs breakfast bowls take longer than I though :) Sorry there is no 205 it goes from 200 tor 212.

I have an instant hot water tap that produces water @ 185 degrees in a few seconds. Most tap water is about 100 to 120. Suggest that you boil water for this in microwave. Hotter hydrates faster.

My daughter received this hot water bottle from us. She says she has put the hottest water from the tap and then hot water from the tea kettle into it. Hot water from the kettle is too hot to put in by itself. She reports that approximately 45 minutes later, it is at least warm. Enjoy!

It's easily as fast as a standard teakettle, and after filling with cold tap water, it takes approximately 7-8 minutes, and chimes a toon when it's ready. Heats water to 212 then drops back to it holding temp of 195.

You can put .5 liter to 1.7 liter of water into kettle, flip start switch on handle to on, it will heat the water to boiling point, and will automatically shut off. If you want just warm water, just turn it off before it boils.

Here is a comparison. 5 cups of water in a 1500w Hamilton Beach tea kettle takes 4 min 57 sec to boil, True Induction using a pot the same diameter as the tea kettle set to the highest heat setting takes 5 min 36 sec.

A full kettle (filled with cold water to the upper line as recommended for max fill) took 5 min to boil on medium heat.

I timed it by filling it to the "max" line, which is over 2x 1 cup but I wanted to get the longest reading possible. It boiled and shut off in almost 5 minutes exactly (4:58). Keep in mind, that was for 17 ounces and the tap water is especially cold right now so I can't imagine it EVER taking any longer.

With the kettle filled with cold water to the lowest mark (17 oz) it took 2:30. With filled to the max line (60 oz) it took 7:40.

It takes very quickly to boil the full kettle / no longer than 3 min/. This kettle is the best I've ever had. I love it and it;s worth the price.You will never regret it to buy.

No this is the quickest kettle I have ever used. Once you select the type of tea you are making( green , black etc) total time for a full kettle is 3-4 minutes.

Just a few minutes. It boils in a fraction of the time it takes to boil water on a stove top. I like my electric kettle verymuch. Highly recommend it.

I've left it in a 5 gallon bucket for 8 hours straight, it has never brought the water to a boil... it will keep it very hot though! I'm sot so sure about a simmer...

Tap water, 1L, 5 minutes to full boil, timed with stopwatch. Doubted my results after seeing other answers, repeated with fresh water...same result.

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.

Perhaps I just haven't paid that close attention, as I (like a few of those below)fill my unit as I see it gets to around to 1L left. Thus, it is not when I need the water to be hot, so I am not sitting watching the proverbial pot boil. However, it is pretty quick - under 15 minutes for sure. I am also on cooler well water, but it definitely has not taken more than 15 minutes for 3 full liters of boiling hot water. Once it has boiled, depending on the hold temperature you set, your water will remain hot until you put more cool water in the unit.

I would add to the previous comment two points: Water boils at different temperatures depending upon one's elevation; I'm at 1380-1385 feet or so, and if I recall properly my water boils closer to 205*F than 212; so look up your elevation and factor in the correction. With regard to chips of ice and water, the temp will be a little higher than freezing, given the water is obviously not frozen; when I calibrate my thermometer probes for testing produce I look for a reading closer to 33*F, or 34*F, when left sitting in a glass of ice water; clearly the more surface area of the ice chips the better, and allow a few minutes for the temp to stabilize.
