I was wondering if this kettle beeps when buttons are pressed, temps are reached etc. Also: Is there an option for Celsius instead? Thank you.

The kettle does beep when temperatures are reached. I have not seen a celsius setting while using this product.

I don't consider the beep terribly loud, and no, there are no "reminder beeps". It beeps when it's done. When using the defrost cycle, it beeps when it's halfway done and then again when it's done.

Yes, it has a beep indicator. It beeps when you adjust the desired temperature, when it reaches the target temperature, etc.

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.

The red button does not stay on when the kettle is plugged in. It only turns on when the water is boiling and shuts off when the water is at a full boil.

I found the Set Temp feature to work as I understand your use. I have set the temperature for say 125 when say a roast is at room temperature and had it go off at 125. It is important that you both set the temperature and turn it on before the temperature gets to 125. If the temperature is 126 when you turn it on, the beep won't happen until the temp "arrives" at 125 whether that be an increase or decrease.

Hi Paul. No it doesn't beep. Toast just pops up. So far I like it a lot. Some people have complained about there not being a cancel button. You have to turn the knob if you want to pop up your toast before its done but that doesn't really bother me. It seems pretty sturdy.

It beeps when you plug it in / turn it on, and when you're flipping through to get to the temperature you want. It also beeps when it reaches that temperature. The beeps are not loud & obnoxious, though...they're very quiet. The only other sound you'll hear is the sound of the water beginning to boil.

There are lots of variables to consider before answering this question. Is the kettle 100% full? Is the water room temperature? What setting did you select? Overall, I find this kettle to be very good. It heats water to the temperature I choose in a time I am willing to accept. I am happy with it and have been for 1 year.

Yes, it beeps when you set each setting.For example, once you press a preset button like 'Toast', 'Bake' etc..., then on heat setting and then on time setting.You can rotate the knob as much as you want back and forth but when you press it to set, it beeps once.Also, it beeps few times when pre-heat is done, few minutes or a minute before cooking is done and then when it's done.And, no you cannot change noise volume.Also, it's not noise. Why anyone would consider a beep from oven or microwave NOISE is over my head.It's NOT noise but a needed feature.But, it's not an issue so don't make it a big deal like bunch of others do here.I actually like it since it tells me my settings are being set.

no, it doesn't beep. it automatically shuts-off. if you missed the shut-down, just turn it back-on and depending on how hot the water is, it'll take that long to reboil to max.

No it doesn't beep when it's done. The water heating/brew cycle is fairly loud.

Using either a tea kettle or a pot with lid on the stovetop, I've found that at the moment you can first hear the water/steam starting to make a sound inside the kettle or pot (kind of a whooshing), it should be about 180 degrees, give or take a few degrees. I've reproduced this result hundreds of times, confirmed each time with a thermometer. The key is to really listen for that first sound and immediately take it off the heat.Oh--I am a few hundred feet above sea level, in case that makes a difference!

Yes, it beeps when you push buttons. The buttons don't have any tactile feedback so that's to let you know when you've got a successful press. The noise is momentary and it seems like a reasonable sound and volume for a button push.

No.... there is no alert such as a beep or whistle.............but there is a light on the on lever that comes on when you turn it on and goes out when the water is ready. You can also tell by the sound of the water boiling in the pot when it is ready the boiling noise stops. Hope this helps.

It has two modes, BOIL and WARM. both beep when temperature is reached, the BOIL setting immediately turns off, the WARM seeing stays on for 15 minutes

hello Vanda, it is very quiet. But does beep once boiled. it has a useful keep warm function and heats water to 4 different temperatures. I have not read the instructions so have no idea if the beeps can be disactivated
