when the top spout is closed, could dust and dirt get in the hole of the spout from the back?

I don't know if I quite understand the question but I would say no aseverything is all enclosed. I have not had any problems with dust ordirt getting inside.

There is a chance of that happening because the end is open in the groove that the spout sits in. I think what Jack said is a good idea, or simply wrap a piece of napkin around it before you close the spout.

Great question! I was concerned about that when I first got mine. I have three of these that are used for community functions. My solution was to take a latex glove, scrub the outside, turn it inside out and scrub the inside to make sure it is clean, then cut the fingers off and use the small one to slide over the top spout. That works great for me!

There is no hole. Steam comes out the edges of the lid.Parenthetically, having a steam vent is not the cause of sputtering. That would be overfilling and/or a dirty pot and/or unwashed rice.

The "blow back problem" is only noticeable if there is water sitting on top of the closed disc(sliding disc/valve) which separates the seat portion from the lower tank portion.That would only be possible if you had let water into the bowl area once the disc is closed after use.As mentioned in my suggestion,I use a dishwasher dispenser bottle to clean the bowl rather than the tank/pump that is attached. Now if you are concerned about blowback when you are disconnecting the lower tank,I can't see that happening if you are dumping out or draining the contents.First of all,the disc valve is closed and the surface has no water on it.Second,you are emptying through the removable cap on the side of the tank not through that plated(disced off)port.That should clear up the question I think.Whenever the toilet is sitting, as used,you open the disc valve slowly of course but without water on it,there is no problem.

there is a shut off on the end of the main spout. I would not buy this product, however, as its quality control in the assembly is not good.

Make sure your lid is seatedThat will help with the sputtering. The steam will have to come out the center hole.

None, pressure will remain but flow will be effected to a small degree.Backwash it by reversing it's direction and flushing debris out.Great product and price.

I don't think so. the hole where water comes out is about the size of a Mayo jar opening if that makes sense. I haven't cleaned ours yet.

Kevin, it is the dirt on the outside I am picking up I worry about. This thing is handy as pockets on a shirt and works very well. As long as you keep the filter clean I wouldn't worry about the rest of it!!!

there should be a sort of cross slit in the spout, if you squeeze it together you may see it, otherwise it is hard to see it.

if the jar is shut tight, there will be condensation. that is a natural occurrence.

I have been using for several months now and have not had a problem sith dust or dirt in holes. I do use a briefcase to transport and do not work in a dusty environment.

No. I haven't had any problems like that. Its easy to clean if it does get dusty.

Not in my experience - there's a metallic rim that goes over the enamel on the spout, shielding it from the cover. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to test this out, as my spout cover stopped closing completely roughly two weeks after I started using the teakettle, rendering the whistle feature useless.

It has a drain hole in the back. I just put a empty 1.5 liter bottle under it and unscrew it. I haven't had any problems that way.

If you seal the top completely tight you will restrict the flow of water out of the spout. The lack of air do to the sealed top will not allow airing to pressure the water out. I never seal my jar.

Most of the dust comes from the back of the machine. I do not notice dust coming from the front

No; if you do that the filtering material will come out. Just soak closed and in a day it's ready!
