Would you be able to tell me if this water heater is BPA free? And also if there is a lot of steam production or if I could place it on the counter underneath my kitchen cupboards.

The interior is stainless steels which I really liked. I did not observed lots of steam when it was still working. That been said, however, it probably will only last for a year, according to my experience. I will not buy from this brand again.

I would not buy this product again. Rust in the inner water tank. Failed after 1 yr. Minimal steam.

I am not sure about the bpa. Other people seem to think it does not. In terms of steam, it only occurs when the unit is initially boiling. I pull it out and fill it up. Once it beeps, it means it is done boiling and I slide the unit back under the cupboard.

Stainless steel interior, no BPA. Vents steam when boiling and should not be placed under low hanging cabinets.

The interior is stainless -- can't guarantee there are no plastic parts exposed, but the stainless reservoir was part of my criteria. It's not lined. But when you dispense water, there is enough steam I think I would hesitate to put this near unfinished wood, for example, under cabinets. It's not from when it's heating, but when you dispense the water -- can't help a plume of moist then!

Yes it is BPA free, I called and they said all their plastics were BPA free. The tip drips sometimes so I leave it standing when not using it.

The steamer from what I know is not BPA free. That answers that question for you. To deal with with the people who did not answer your question but advised you not to buy the product anyway, I want to give you my experience with this product. I love it. I use it almost every day. I have owned it for well over 8 months and have never had any melting troubles. I use this is a 3 qt Lodge Color Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven. It works beautifully in that. I think most people are using this on way to high of a heat. The silicone feat are rated to 500 deg and the plastic 400 deg F. That is my 2 cents.

I am not sure if it is BPA free. I only know it is a really good steamer and easy to use and does well in the dishwasher.

The interior is stainless steel but it has a few small plastic parts. The lid and the filter around the pour spout are both made with plastic parts and hot water does come into contact with them. I don't know if they are BPA free.

I just looked up the information on Rubbermaid's website. It is BPA free. If you look at the link I've attached, you won't see it in the text, but you'll see the "NO BPA" symbol right underneath the image of the bottle. http://www.rubbermaid.com/Category/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?CatName=Beverage&Subca;tId=BeverageStorage&Prod;_ID=RP091888

This is a glass pot. I don't think there would be any BPA in it. The bottom interior looks like stainless steel. I'm not sure how the two are joined. So far there isn't any leaking. It's fast and I enjoy the blue light feature.

Hi, I was hoping the newer ones would indicate this on the box - but they don't. I called the company and asked for a print out indicating that they were free from BPA - they said they didn't have anything to send me - I am not certain they understood my question - as their English wasn't American English. This was two years ago - so I guess we should make another call - and maybe get some updated response! But I figure - hopefully not to recklessly that using my Boat once a week will be safe for everyone - but yes - I would love to have a guarantee that it was BPA free.

I do not know if it is BPA free or not but it is an awesome steamer. I use it practically every day as I love to steam vegetables in it. Best steamer I have ever used.

As far as I know you have no exposure to BPA from stainless steel which,except for the plastic handle and the cover,is what the kettle is made from.I would say your OK, but you may want to verify that with the manufacturer.

It is a seamless glass pot. BPA should be irrelevant. Heating element seems to be outside the glass bottom, not in direct contact with the water like some brands (Tfal, etc..)

I just chatted with an Amazon customer service rep who checked their internal catalogs to confirm that IT IS BPA FREE! Hope this helps.

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

I believe that where the drippings accumulate for the longest time is definitely BPA free. Check with the manufacturer for the right to advertise as completely BPA free.
