how long does it take to boil water?

About 10 minutes while driving. We boil water and put it in a thermos to use later for tea or coffee. if the Road Pro is used with just the car battery it is much slower.

It takes quit long.. and its quicker if you drive. So my sister was at my side to held the kettle.. maybe 10 minutes. But better than nothing :)

If you don't drive it ll take more than one hour.. it did not work for us then...we stopped waiting after one hour and drove. that it was quicker. But still not quick! you need to have patience

I think it's like 10 min, not for sure. I used a microwave steamer, steamer bag or the dishwasher. I didn't have time to wait around for water to boil etc.

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

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

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.

About a minute if you preheat water to almost boiling in a separate cup in the microwave and then pour into pot.

I've never used just got water, but I would imagine since it has to be boiled for 15 minutes, hot water might not be enough. Unless it's constant SUPER hot water for 15 minutes +.

depends on altitude, amount, fire temp. tea pot with a qt. of water, maybe 10 minutes.

It depends on how much water is in it. I usually do a full kettle for brewing iced tea (actually a little over the "max" line) and it takes maybe 5 minutes for a full pot... not entirely sure since I have not timed it, but it doesn't seem long unless you're standing there watching and waiting (LOL).

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.

I think it depends on the weather conditions and the amount of water you're boiling. In perfect weather, it takes about 5-7 minutes I guess and that's using 1.5 fuel tablets. It's just a simple cup stove and works fine as that. Hope this helps.

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.

3-5 minutes if the water is boiling hot. Probably more like 5-7 minutes if the water is hot but not boiling, like if you had it in the thermos for a few hours.

I have a gas stove I brew it on medium, takes about 7 to 8 minutes, the electric on a medium settings cant take much longer.

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

Well, I don't know about literally boiling, but I pour the water into the French press just off the boil. It then should steep for about 4 minutes before pouring into your cup. Believe me, it's still VERY hot at that point unless you like it hot enough to burn your mouth.

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.
