We have had ours for about a year and we see what looks like rust on the bottom inside. Anyone else had this problem?

We have had ours for well over a year, in constant use, and the bottom, directly above the heat element, has discolored to nearly black. In addition there are brown-ish rust colored areas on the outside anywhere water drops tend to accumulate. Our water is known to have a measurable iron content, so it is hard to say if the pot is corroding or if the water is depositing iron salts onto the metal. Either way it is not harmful in any way. Iron oxide is not toxic, and any corrosion would confined to the very surface where it presents no hazard of "rusting though".

I haven't - it's probably deposits from your water supply adhering to the kettle while it's boilingI use only RO water (reverse osmosis) in my kettle and it looks brand new after more than a year of daily use. Try cleaning it with some CLR - that stuff works great on rust and hard water deposits

We have no rust in ours. Remember to empty water out of it everyday. It shouldn't rust it's stainless steel.You didn't put anything else in it besides water?

I have not had mine that long so no rust - BUT, my sister has had one for a long time and NO rust. Maybe it is your water?? We love this product.

The coloring is likely from the water. When we lived in Europe, we were fans of Russel Hobbs kettles, but the one we purchased in USA was no better than others we have tried. Our present kettle is a ChefsChoice International. We still like it after three years.

I would contact them directly for a correct answer. I love mine and I've ha it for two years or so and it's never rusted and it's easy to clean. I'd buy this again. Hope this helps!

I have had mine for about 7 months so far and do keep water inside of it when not in use. There has been no issues with rust thus far, and I just checked the interior of the kettle.

sorry to be so late - I just checked mine, which I've had for about a year. There is NO sign of rust and the inside is stainless steel. The bottom is very strong plastic which is part of the peddle mechanism. I LOVE this trash can and my dog can never get to it before it closes :)

I did not have a problem with the buttons but the inside is completely rusted out. It happened after about a year.

I have had mine since March and so far have not had any rust problems. I am actually going to purchase another one for the shower in my guest bath. Hope this helps.

Ours also suffered erosion of the finish after just a couple of years. I'm pretty sure it went through the dishwasher a few times, but not any more. No way to know if that was the cause. We are considering replacing it and I would not DW it again.

No, but the inside did rust after awhile and I got rid of it. I bought a stainless steel one from Oxo.

The bottom--the pot portion--has some discoloration, but no rust. I use it regularly, and have had it for a year.

no, no problems of any kind, am very happy with it. have only had it for six or eight months though, which may not be long enough for rust to show up.

I run mine through the dishwasher and have no problems. Haven't seen any rust spot yet either. I haven't tried hand washing but I bet it would be that difficult.

I have had mine a long time, no rust. But, in addition to wiping mine dry I let it air dry some more. Then, I reassemble it and put it away.... Great item!!

I've had mine in our kitchen sink for at least two months and it's perfect - no rust. Could it be water difference? I'm in Western Washington.
