Is this kettle lined with stainless steel or plastic?

The body is stainless, not lined. There is plastic high on the inside, one is the inside of the handle, and one is at the top of the metal heating element, but the water does not touch either. I was concerned about it, but I think it's fine. The water does not have a plastic-y taste or smell at all. And the kettle is attractive, which I can't say for the other models on the market.

The inside of the kettle is all stainless steel, except for the plastic window

It is plastic. It does get stained from the tea. I am on my second pot and love it.

The copper is on the exterior only. The interior is completely stainless.I have had this kettle quite awhile and use it at least twice daily. It is a wonderful kettle....very practical to use and fun ti look at.

I don't have the box anymore and it doesn't say on the kettle. I will say I love it though. I didn't want plastic, and stainless steel didn't appeal to me either. This is entirely glass and it is easy to put away when not using. Sorry, but hope this helped.

The kettle is stainless steel. The only plastic is the handle and switch. I have no idea if it is BPA free.

Not exactly sure, but I believe the clear window to see the amount of water in the kettle is a high quality plastic insert. I have had no problems with my kettle. I think it's a great product and I would buy one again if so needed.

I read the other review and noticed the two small plastic buttons holding the gauge in place. I had not noticed them before. The inside is stainless steel. I love this kettle.

The handle is plastic, and the end of the overflow tube inside the kettle is plastic. the mesh filter is also plastic. but aside from those small pieces, the interior and exterior are metal.

It looks like stainless steel but I'm pretty sure it is plastic. I have not had a problem with leaking.

I have not been able to find anything on the kettle that indicates where manufactures. It says it was designed in USA. Regardless, I would not buy this kettle again. It is very attractive, but extremely heavy, and is lined with a plastic-like material that I was not able to find out about until after I had it for awhile. It looks like metal inside. I had specifically asked about that before I bought it, and been told the only plastic was at the spout. I felt Kitchen Aid was very disingenuous in their marketing of this kettle. At this price, it should not be lined with plastic. I have some mild arthritis in my hands and find it very heavy to lift and pour.

It is plastic. Stainless steel is only what you see in the picture (a wrapping).

I see no plastic inside the kettle at all. Stainless steel and a heating element.

The kettle is almost all stainless steel. I've had mine going on two years and it's still working great. I will clean it every couple months with a vinegar / water mixture. According to the Cuisinart website, it is BPA free: http://www.cuisinart.com/products/tea_kettles/cpk-17.html

Yes Saundra it is all stainless steel, magnificent and this is my second kettle. The first one I gave away to somebody that absolutely loved it.The design is very nice too, that's also important in my opinion.

I don't know what kettle the others are describing, but my Chef's Choice, brand new, has plastic around the spout on the inside, a plastic sensor cover on the inside and the transparent part of the lid is plastic on the inside. It also has an exposed heating element making it more difficult to clean. I'm going to return it.

It is plastic. As you can see, most of the electric kettle's lids are made of special plastic that is okay for high temperature.

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.
