How wide is the bottom? I have a 9" electric stove element that I would like this kettle to cover. Thanks.

The bottom of my tea kettle is about 8.75 " just a hair under nine inches. My kettle has a lip around the bottom that the coil would fit in. Thus the less than 9". The largest coil on my stove is 7.50". I don't use my kettle. There are much better tea kettles available.

It's almost exactly 9.5 inches accross the flat portion of the bottom from the radius edge of one side to the radius of the other side. Hope this helps.

Bottom is more than 10", and top is even bigger, so it should with ease. And I don't have the issues with the heating element others are describing, I use it a few times a month, it works perfectly.

The flat bottom measures 7 1/2" across. That is the area that actually touches the burner. I have an electric stove with a flat "glass" top (no coils) and this pan works extremely well. No warping.

It is 4.5" deep. I have used it on a glass top electric stove, but I do make sure it is dry underneath.

The bottom is flat ,but there is a half inch indentation around the edge . I use it on a glass top stove and have no problems.

It's 12 inches across the bottom, unless you have an oversize burner it won't heat evenly (gas stove). It's not thick like cast iron (so not as heavy) and would probably warp a little over time. That being said, it's really sturdy and if you're not making an omelet or a crepe a little warping is not going to hurt it. I have only used it on the grill or in the oven, where it works great, and I have many other Lodge pans that I would use first on a single burner. I cannot recommend Lodge product highly enough if you take care of them.

I just measured it, and it is around 7-3/4", so I think it might hang over the edge. My stove ledge is around 9". You may need to choose a slightly smaller model. Despite the fact that the inside of this pot does rust, it serves the purpose I bought it for by putting a little moisture into the air. I would recommend this brand, if they have a smaller version for you.

The surface that touches the stove is 8 3/4 inches across the bottom. This pot is one of my favorites in the collection.

The bottom diameter is 2 inches. Really tippy on my gas stove burners, easier on an electric. I was going to get a copper wire form to put on my burner to help use this little guy. I have tipped it over several times losing the coffee.

The one I got has a 7 inch diameter for the flat part on the bottom. I use mine on an electric stove and it works well. The bottom is nice a perfectly flat so it should work extremely well on an induction type heating element.

It will fit over the smaller burner, but not on the burner on the back of a standard stovetop. Hits the wall.

it fits perfectly on a 9.5in diameter pot, i would not think it will fit onto a 9in one

Inside bottom is a little over 8 1/2 inches. The underside that contacts the burner is just under 9 inches. It's hard to get a really accurate measurement because of the slope.

The flat bottom is 9" wide. Then 1/2" up from the bottom it flares slightly to 9 1/2". It is very tall, I have a bit of difficulty with the cabinetry that goes around my stove top. It is wonderful for juicing elderberries. It makes a nice clean juice. I haven't tried it on anything else yet.

I would say its about 4 inches across, or the size of a coffee mug opening. I purchased it for my woodstove and was disappointed at how small the kettle actually is. Needless to say, its now an expensive decoration.

Yes the bottom is completely flat and the bottom is the same all around the whole kettle (enamel on steel). I do not have a electric stove and I was worried that the flames would damage the bottom but it dosn't. The pot is larger than expected but the quality of it is pretty good.
