Why does it start rusting along the inside seams after 6 months, after containing water only? Will New Wave Enviro replace it?

probably it rusts because there is no such a thing as stainless steel... and in my experience, new wave enviro will not replace it

After two months, ours also began rusting at the interior seam. It is largely in part due to the manufacturing process used. "Not worth the purchase for long term use."

I don't know. I didn't know rusting was a possibility. I bought it for a vacation house, so by the time we used it 6 months had passed and I thought it was probably past the return date, so I am not sure what their customer service is like.

Only have 1 "seam" where the base is attached. Have not seen any rust! I would call them and discuss your problem. I had a question when it was first delivered and some guy answered ghe phone and was very helpful and nice. I got the phone number from their website.

Right, stainless steel does not rust, I have seen no rust on this pot as of yet, very happy with it, my input would be because of "hard water" to avoid mineral deposits in standing water....???...I have left water in it occasionally and I just empty it, there is something about "stale" water I do not like, hope my input helps.

No, I didn't experience any rust and I bought about 1 and half years ago. It's one of the best glass electric kettles I have used. The best thing is I can put my hand inside to scrub and clean the residue built up on the bottom of the kettle. So the inside surface still looks pretty good and shiny. I wish the spout can be better designed to avoid spills when pouring the hot water. Now I make sure I lift the hot lid up till it's perpendicular and pour carefully to avoid spillage. Good luck.

I'm sure it's not the top of the line stainless, but I've had mine sitting outside for 4 months of winter and no rust on the bottom so far. I do have it covered with a good quality cover. I also drilled a few small holes in the bowl bottom for drainage. For such a low price, and if you keep it covered you, should get your money's worth out of it.

I have had it inside the shower cabinet for about 2 months now. Where I leave damp stuff over it I sometimes see some incipient rust, but it wipes right off. I live in a very humid place as well. I don't see myself replacing it any time soon.

Mine started rusting after few months , I did use wash it couple of times in Dishwasher , not sure if that caused it to wear faster .

We've had ours 6 plus months. No sign of rust. It's stainless steel. Not sure how it would rust.

I've had mine for about two years. I've had no rust problems. In reading reviews it was suggested to NOT use a lemon-based detergent due to thoughts it might cause rusting, so I don't.

I have had mine a while and it hasn't rusted yet. I have very hard water too, idk how that contributes to rust if any.

I have never had a problem with rusting. I use my water boiler daily. I've never had to deal with customer service.

I bought it from costco few months ago and it does rust. Worst part the rust now is on the plates & cups. Not a good buy. Looking for new one.

Mine started to rust after only a few months, and now 8 months later are heavily rusted. Schlage refuses to warranty them since they are not warrantied against rust in "corrosive environments" like outside.

Let me qualify my answer by saying that we live 1/2 block from the ocean and everything rusts quickly here. Ours was up year round and after four years the top rail was rusting out. The salt-water, chlorine-generator pumps lasted less than two years each running every day. The pattern faded in the liner but it was still OK. We replaced the pool last year with a solid-walled pool with resin rails and verticals.

Mine rusted. I was given it 9 months ago and it is used every day. We keep water in it because it is used frequently. Also, although the lid is stainless steel, the fasteners are creating rust colored streaks. Not impressive. Deciding if I should contact the company. I threw out the receipt because I thought it was a quality product. Oops.

I also have this problem and I have two of these machines. It is horrible, I washed it and replaced the water and a few hours later the same smell and metallic taste, Im sick about it. I have been using this for my newborn for 2 months!! It is either the steel plate at the bottom or its the plastic, either way, its awful! I called the company and they said wash it out with vinegar, still doesn't work.
