Is this a plastic free kettle?

I opted for this after deciding to avoid plastic kettles...There are a couple of tiny plastic rivets inside the kettle body and a detachable plastic filter, but otherwise the kettle body appears to be all stainless steel.

There is a 5" x 2" filter inside the kettle that appears to be plastic. I bought this kettle thinking I could remove this piece, but doing so prevents the kettle from shutting off automatically. Also, after repeated boilings and vinegar soakings, the water still has a chemical/plastic taste. I ended up getting a De'Longhi KBO1401W Electric Kettle which I am happy with.

The handle is plastic, and the end of the overflow tube inside the kettle is plastic. the mesh filter is also plastic. but aside from those small pieces, the interior and exterior are metal.

The working parts are all stainless steel, but of course the base and handle will be of a plastic material but nothing that comes into contact with the water contents. At the back of the kettle there is a clear plastic window that shows the amount of water in the kettle. This appears to be a small reservoir and again does not appear to be part of the main water containment area. The filter inside is of a high density nylon mesh. The lid exterior is plastic but the lid interior appears to be stainless steel.Hope that helps.

No, it is BPA-free plastic and is able to withstand brewing temperature. I love mine!

There is a plastic(silicon) O-ring around the lip of the lid. Many other comments suggest taking that off, which is quite easy, to allow expanding air out better. other than that there is no plastic inside the kettle.

Thank you for asking - I bought this kettle for my daughter and son in law who have just got back to me - they are thrilled with this kettle but say that "It does have plastic in it. The inside portion of the handle, the max fill line, and a screen around the spout are all plastic." Hope that this helps.

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 it is a plastic, but BPA free and I use one daily, being a diabetic I drink a lot liquids and this cup rarely has condensation. One of my favorites of the insulated cups purchased over the years

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

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.

I didn't find anything stating it is BPA free, but the plastic is almost like a hard acrylic type. A few times I have used it with boiling water and it looks like it cracked but its was not. I have been very happy with this beaker. On the bottom it does have 7 in the recycling and made in Germany. Hope this helps.

Yes, The kettle is stainless steel but is not insulated. Gets hot, but I have accidentally touch the side and it didn't burn me. Just wouldn't want to hold on too long

My Brentwood kettle does not have the plastic strip on the body. It's all metal. I don't know about the kettle pictured here.

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.

No. It is all stainless steel and the handle is cork. I have been using it for nearly 9 months on a gas stove, 3 to 6 times a day, and it's been great. I treated myself to this kettle thinking it would be worth getting a really good one for something I will use always all the time, and I don't regret it.

Anyone who thinks the interior is all steel did not look carefully at all. R. Roebuck is correct. I just received my kettle an hour ago, and while the bottom of the inside is steel the sides inside are entirely plastic. It's a bit hard to tell because they try to make it look like steel, but after 10 minutes of testing I am 100% sure it's plastic (different sound when tapped, different temperature than the steel bottom, etc). Avoid this kettle if you do not want plastic touching your water.

Yes, the window is plastic but it looks like a glass. It's probably safe.The lid does't touch the water at all.This kettle is the best I've ever had and I love it ! It looks also great on my counter.
