Electric kettles with different temp settings, ok thats a step up.
Boiling water in 3 minutes vs 4 and half minutes, fucking pointless. Just get the jawn that works for your setup.
for it to boil water at a lower temperature, the kettle would have to rocket itself into the sky a few thousand feet.
the temp settings on kettles are usually because some teas taste better when brewed at lower temps than boiling.
Im not sure what you are responding too exactly, I mentioned that the temp settings are a good thing. I have no idea why you mentioned boiling water at a lower temp....
It was just funny because the way you worded it could be interpreted to mean "why would someone buy a kettle that boils water at a lower or higher temp, just wait longer". (If you set the kettle to a lower temp, it won't boil unless it's at a higher altitude because the kettle shuts off at that temp.)
Ahhhhh I see. And here I thought I knew words. You right.
