What material is this kettle made of?

The kettle is metal. The inside is dark and appears coated. The handle is a hard plastic.

No plastic. Solid metal. Even the knob on top is stainless. I am very careful about plastic and this product has no plastic touching anything you will be consuming. I agree with Flamimgo; it is a great kettle.

The inside bottom of the kettle is metal where the heating coil is and the rest is plastic.

Magnet will stick to kettle and I see no rust/oxidation marks after six months use so IMO kettle is stainless steel.Konrad.

Tammy I didn't save the box and it doesn't say on the kettle but it is a heavy and very solid kettle with a nice thick bottom that holds the heat well. This is the best kettle I have EVER owned and will probably buy another one if this ever wears out. It is no dinky tin kettle for sure.

This kettle does not have plastic material. Only the handle is a rubber type of material foe heat resistance. And no the water doesn't touch that part. I love mine!

No; it's glass. I have a water kettle with a stainless interior, and it has rusted to high heaven. I much prefer the glass interior, although Zojirushi warns you not to drop it or it will likely shatter.

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 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.

It is a black enamel. Which I kinda like because you don't have to deal with oxidization or corrosion of the interior. That has often been a reason in the past for me to throw a tea kettle away. So far with relatively moderate family use (about 3 pots of hot water for tea per day) no chips, flaking, discoloration or anything has been seen. And I have checked. All in all I rather like it even though it was a bit unexpected when it arrived.

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.

I had to look, and I still don't know. I think it's just metal. It's black; the inside does not continue the outside color. But I still HIGHLY recommend this kettle.

Nope, bootom of the kettle's lid is plastic. Water level indicator is plastic. Plastic handle is also protruding thru steel body into interior.

I believe it's lined with tin, the chrome is on the outside. My tea kettle was handmade in England, that's why I bought it in the first place. Same as with my French made Cuisinart cookware. IMO, once a product gets shipped out to China, Korea and points beyond, it's no longer the same quality.

No. It is all stainless steel and the handle is cork. I have been using it for nearly 9 months on a gas stove, 3 to 6 times a day, and it's been great. I treated myself to this kettle thinking it would be worth getting a really good one for something I will use always all the time, and I don't regret it.

I tested this with a magnet. The bottom and body are ferromagnetic (contain iron and are likely steel). The spout and top are not ferromagnetic and are therefore made of some metal other than steel. The kettle is not heavy enough and too shiny to contain any cast iron. The steel components are likely stainless, not cast iron.

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.
