Where is this kettle made? China? Any suggestions for electric kettles that are NOT made in China? Looks like Zojirushi might be only option!

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.

Right now everything is made in China. I think maybe even Zojirushi has gone to China. I have a the Kitchen Aid kettle and it's been great so far. Several months now. It's used constantly. Keeps the water warm for quite a while so rewarming is fast. The price is high but I have replaced several other kettles in one year. Well see how long this one lasts.

I did not find anything on the kettle or in the acompanying documents that indicate where it was manufactured. Unlike the other response, I love this kettle. It is used several times a day in my house. It is the best one I have ever had.

I don't know where the unit was manufactured. Didn't see any indications on the kettle or the box.But as far as the quality it is OK. The only issue is that you do have to remember to put the whistlingtop on so that the water does not completely evaporate and the unit breaks. I did this several timesand it survived, but after the 3rd or fourth time it broke. Still, it is a very good product and I love seeingexactly the quantity of water and the state of boiling or not. I like it. I have been using these for years.Good Luck.

Hello, my understanding is this kettle is made in China. I also believe it has a limited lifetime warranty.

It is made in Thailand. It's packaged for sale in Japan, meaning if you were to buy it in Japan you would still get a product from Thailand. I am actually surprised at Zojirushi for this... but Zojirushi is Zojirushi, and I don't see any problems with the quality. The inside of the mug is fluorine resin coated stainless steel. The other small parts are polypropylene.

Manufactured is Zojirushi. It is a Japanese company but it is made in china. No problem for home use.

Thank you so much for posting about the Hamilton Beach CoolTouch kettle, C. Simpson! I've been looking all over for an acceptable one, and that's the best I've found too. Very frustrating. Thanks for taking the time to share your find.

Just to add to this conversation, even if many month later: I called All Clad and they said the tea kettle is made in China. Most of their products are. Made I n the US! Except for specialty items like this. It is made in an All Clad factory, not sub-contracted out, and it is made to their specs and monitored, as they do in all their factories. Given this response I am going to buy the tea kettle because I have had their cookware for many years and am satisfied. I have to trust them, even though I am not in the h a it of trusting corporations anymore, in particular those having anything to do with the growing and preparation of food.

After researching this extensively - Unfortunately this wonderful product is Made In China. However, I do own several & I think it is so wonderful - I use it consistently as I am an avid tea drinker. Thank You, & I hope this helps

This is confusing...it says "Made in China" at the bottom of the base, but the glass kettle says Germany....so ?????? I still love this teakettle; maybe it was mfg'd in China to German standards? It also says "SCHOTT" and "DURAN" on the glass..... But it is the best one I have ever had...and I have had a number of these things.

Customer service is in US, and they respond quickly to questions or service issues. However, on the bottom of the unit it says "MADE IN CHINA". I am very happy with my unit, and what it will do. I grew up using stove top pressure cookers, and still have one, but love this one.

I'm not sure, but the quality is very good. Apple's goods are made in China. It all depends on the manufacturer. Zojirushi is well made. I see another reviewer said it was made in Thailand. If so, that's good. Their quality is known to be much higher than run of the mill Chinese goods.

The kettle is not marked. I bought it just under a year ago, but I do not recall where it was made. Matthew is most likely correct, China. None-the-less, it is an outstanding kettle. No internal or external coatings, just stainless steel. I think you will enjoy it if you purchase, I like mine.

Mine is not stamped anywhere to show where it is made. I know Zojirushi Corp is in Osaka, Japan. You may try to email support@zojirushi.com or call Zojirushi America Corp at 1-800-733-6270.

Sorry, I have no idea...am just enjoying using this wonderful kettle - so much better than all those used by my family before ;)

I have no idea where this teakettle was made, and I no longer have the box in which it came. Amazon should be able to tell you just by looking on a box that one comes in. There is nothing on the teakettle itself that gives a clue to the origin. Sorry!
