Does this kettle have any plastic parts? Are they BPA free?

The small circular piece of plastic on the top does not contain or touch the water.

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. But the kettle works really well...the water is truly boiling when it clicks off.

I called the company and was told that all plastic in the kettle is BPA-free. Glad there are others who are concerned about this as well :)

Nothing interior except inside lid is a plastic type material , which the water doesn't touch and kettle automatically cuts off immediately once boiled , so probsbly little risk of BPA. Perhaps ask the mfg if its BPA free & material type. . I'm particular about these things too, but felt it wouldn't be an issue.

It has a small plastic part that will always have contact with the water (I was so disappointed with this fact).

You're welcome. I LOVE this kettle. Its got so many great features. Perhaps it will work for you. ;-)

I have only found two very small places that are plastic. The viewing area on the lid is plastic and a tiny slot for the filter is plastic. I'd say 99% is NOT plastic. BPA free? I do not know. I can say that the water tastes the same after heating as it did when it came out of the faucet. In other words, the heated water does not have an "off" taste. I really like this kettle and would buy another if I need to.

I don't think so - the handle seems to be a very hard rubber material, lid alsobottom cover doesn't seem like plastic either...not sure what it is

I inquired as to whether there was BPA in the plastic components of this kettle & received this reply: Thank you for your email and interest in Bonavita kettles. "All plastic used in our products is BPA free."

It isn't stamped on the kettle and I no longer have the box; however, after an exhausting search myself to find a tea kettle not made in China, I can assure you that the kettle is likely from China. One good thing about this kettle is at least there is no contact with plastic.

I purchased this one on amazon bc it's the only on I could find that is actually free of plastic: Precise Heat&trade 1.3qt Surgical Stainless Steel Electric Water Kettle

The documentation for the kettle does not say it is BPA free. Since the pot has two plastic viewing inserts I suppose it is possible for it to emit BPA.

I'm not sure, I don't remember if the packaging indicated if the plastic parts were BPA-free. It's not indicated on the actual unit itself. You can contact Proctor Silex customer service to get specific details on what is/is not BPA-free in their kettle lineup.

No plastic. Solid metal. Even the knob on top is stainless. I am very careful about plastic and this product has no plastic touching anything you will be consuming. I agree with Flamimgo; it is a great kettle.

yes - the entire inside is plastic. I don't use the kettle tbh as the boiled water tastes of plastic, like a bottle of water you've left in the car on a hot day. Its in the cupboard and hasn't been used pretty much since I bought it. Try a metal kettle or something else. This is a bad buy.

Yes, it does have plastic in contact with the water (not much, but some), plus the lid and spout filter parts. It's still enough plastic that I can taste and smell the chemicals which leech into the water.Disappointing, because I bought this kettle thinking it might be better than some of the others. As far as I can tell, there isn't a single plastic-free electric kettle on the market (in the US) right now.

Yes, there is plastic inside the kettle. There is a part that holds the plastic handle that connects to the inside of the kettle along with a silicone washer and some metal screws. That plastic piece collects steam which will then drip into the water inside the kettle. There is also a silicone washer around the thermometer. If it's pure silicone then that wouldn't be considered plastic but it's hard to tell if it's pure silicone without any additives.

This is completely stainless steel inside the kettle. Only the lid, handle, and base are plastic. All the parts that touch water are stainless.

It's plastic. When I was looking for a kettle, I wanted no lactic touching the hot water. Unfortunately, every kettle I looked at either had plastic somewhere or the quality and lifespan were poor. This was the best alternative I found. We have had it now for three months and we love it and the very limited contact with the plastic I can live with. If I had to do it over again, I'd buy the same kettle.

The plastic inside this kettle is marked as #5. #5 plastic is a Polypropylene which is BPA free. Not convinced, I called the company and the representative assured me that this product was indeed BPA free. I am not sure why they are not advertising it as BPA free, however.

The only plastic inside the kettle is the black plastic pull/handle attached to the spout strainer. It can be easily removed.

I just purchased this one from amazon and I can happily say that it contains no plastic whatsoever in the inside of the kettle - Precise HeatTM 1.5 Liter Electric Wtr Kettle.

The entire kettle is plastic, including the inside body. However, we did not notice any adverse taste or odor from the plastic. We just finished a 5 week tour around Turkey where we used this kettle daily. We did get quite a bit of mineral build up, but it would usually scale off by itself and not attach too firmly to the plastic. In other kettles I have used vinegar to remove minerals. We love this kettle and will hopefully take it on many future trips.

I know.. it's so SOOOOO frusterating trying to find a kettle with no plastic, and NOT made in CHINA... errrr.... I couldn't find an electric one with NO plastic (at least not one I could afford)... but I settled on this one which has the smallest piece of plastic but which doesn't touch the water ever.... and then when you pour there is a plastic filter, but I open the lid when pouring and the plastic never touches the water. And it is made in China if I remember, but I had to settle with it after MUCH research and a few returned kettles which had too much plastic inside. I don't understand WHY they would make a stainless steel kettle and then put plastic inside. Anyways... good luck to you!
