Has anyone else had rust on the vent straw inside? We've had ours for 3 days & it is already rusting.

I have had mine for more than a year, use it at least once daily, and have never had any problems with rust.

This is our second Kettle. The first one lasted for many years before it needed to be replace. I checked our latest one (which we have used for several months) and there is no rusting on the vent straw. Not sure what would cause that. Perhaps it's the water? Just a thought.

No rust on mine. I have had this one for awhile now and this is also the second one I have owned. And never any rust. It looks like the straw is made of stainless steel, so that is odd that you are seeing rust.

It is not supposed to rust, and I haven't had it long enough to see for myself.We've had se pretty severe storms with lots of wind lately (gusts up to 40mph) but it didn't topple over.

I don't know what the inside is but mine is completely rusted. I've only had it a year. I'll admit I didn't fully read the "directions" which indicate it should be emptied out and dried between each use. I am looking for another one that is stainless steel which will not rust.

Bought from costco. Used 3 times in 3 days. Used it purely to boil water and noticed rust in the inside bottom :(

I live in indy and I've had it for 3 month or so. o have seen any rust yet. And its rained a lot so I would say no. plus I've got a friend who's got the same one and he's had it 2 years. his also has no rust.

I can only speak for my thermos, but I haven't see any sign's of rust, but I have seen discoloration from coffee. I have cleaned the inside of the thermos using a non-abrasive kitchen cleaner several times (rinsing very very thoroughly afterward). The inside returns to a gleaming non-pitted finish. I would believe that rust would last through this type of cleaning.

Ours has become very rusted around the inside of the lid as well the rim on the tea kettle where the lid fits in. This started happening several months ago and we have had it 1 year.

For me, it didn't rust, but the metal on the bottom inside became splotchy and discolored. And it happened after the first time of use. You can see what it looks like here: http://tinypic.com/r/zv6h3d/5 (I still use it though.)

Ours has not rusted...yet. Only had it for a few months, and is a lot easier to use than others she has tried.

I have used mine about 20 times and already is showing signs of rust on the bottom. It works good but I am disappointed with the rusting.EMC

I've had mine for 2.5 years and haven't had an issue with rust. I believe it's possible to leave water in the pot 24/7, but I empty mine every two days and let it "breathe" for a few hours

Look elsewhere. Its not worth the trouble. Trust me. It was rusting after 6 months. I'll try to post a picture.

We have 2. One actually broke after 4 months. I replaced it. The other has been up for 6 months. Really can't find anything else that looks ok and doesn't rust.

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

Hi Daniel,I got mine on April 21st. I'm using it daily ever since.I just checked it, and there was no sign of rust inside it.Note: I fill it with water from the reverse osmosis purifier only. Maybe that's why I haven't got any rust.ibraheem

I haven't experienced any issue with rusting. How long have you had it. We've had ours for about 6 months.

Well, you got my curiosity up! On the end of mine there's a 2" black plastic tube that's inside the "stainless steel" tube. The end of that does show a little rust but the water isn't dripping directly out of that but rather out of the plastic piece. When I zoom in on the picture mine looks slightly different. I think I would be inclined to return it for a replacement. Or perhaps they've changed it since I ordered mine in July. Hope this helps.
