>2 minutes and change to boil the water as the reviewers found The bottom line for me is that (in the UK where maybe small appliances can draw more) it takes 2-4 minutes, so as a pessimist, I wouldn't count on one that I can buy being faster than 3 minutes. I suppose I might do another test with 1L since I only used half that. But half a liter is plenty for one cup. It's possible that my setup works better than most because my kettle is almost a perfect hemisphere that exactly covers a large burner.
