Is the water tank Stainless steel?Is it necessary to empty the water tank, or can you just add more water as it is used day to day

I'm not sure what the inner tank is made from. It looks like stainless steel, but it could be aluminum. I just add water daily to top off the pot, but over the months, some scaling does develop on the inside of the tank, so it may be prudent to clean it several times a year.

Yes, the tank is stainless steel. Depending on the mineral content of your water you can just keep adding water each day. If you see either a whitening or flaking occurring on the walls you can clean by running with lemon juice or vinegar if it is stubborn. We have found this unit to be reliable for many years.

Yes it is. It has a Reboil option on it for existing water but I suggest changing the unused water daily for sanitary reasons.

It's a stainless steel permanent filter, but it's not fine. So if you want to add, say a coffee filter, and do the filtering better, but a lot more slowly, you could. It really depends on what you want to use it to filter and store.

The inside of the lid is plastic; the inside of the kettle is stainless steel. It really doesn't affect the product performance at all. I've had this kettle for at least 3 months now; I love it and use it daily. You don't fill it all the way to the top (there's a max indicator on the side) -- if you follow that guide, the water never comes in contact with the lid or the handle which is also plastic. The plastic stays cool, allowing you to pour without burning yourself.

Yes, the bowl is made of stainless. This is a quality built unit. Not that you asked, but you should know that the bowl is not removable. Thus, cleaning can be a blessing and a headache. The blessing is that the liquid does not leak everywhere. The headache is that you must clean the bowl while in place.

No not necessary - it has an internal tank. I did not have any trouble with the item but it is small and may not work for a large area.

No need to empty the tank. The weight of the water acts as an anchor to stabilize the rower in an upright position.How much water depends how the resistance level you prefer, generally I like it half filled. So take the tank volume and divided by 2...=)

just pull out the bottom blue one, and then pull up the black plastic spot above the blue container. then you can empty the water tank.

It has a plug that you can empty the water into, but not a removable tank. You just need to place a container under it. It's not a problem at all.

It is not all stainless. I disagree with the quality issue mentioned. This is one of the fastest I have owned for boiling water. Mine gets daily use and it still looks and operates as new. I tried a brand that cost twice as much as this and it gave out after 6 months.

the main body is stainless so you're safe but a couple of the small legs appear to be aluminum - don't ask why. Cleans like stainless depending on the type of water you have.

You have to fill the tank, preferrably with some sort of filtered water. I just fill it at my fridge.

We have no rust in ours. Remember to empty water out of it everyday. It shouldn't rust it's stainless steel.You didn't put anything else in it besides water?

It's not necessary to empty the reservoir as it has a built in filter. I use purified water to begin with. However, emptying the reservoir is quite easy.

Unfortunately, yes. The stainless exterior can be cleaned with a little elbow grease and you may have to change the filter more frequently. Despite very hard water, ours is still running fine since December.

I believe the instructions say to use tap water and empty the tank when you finish. I always used distilled water anyway.

I haven't noticed that it has a lot of water spots on it. We have the stainless steel version and just wipe it down every so often.

I use mine daily and never "clean" it. I just rinse it out and fill it with hot tap water before trading the water for fresh coffee.
