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.

I've had mine for 2-3 years now. I leave water in it and use it daily. Never had a spot of rust.

I had the experience of the rusting on the rim, near the lid hinge, but not the inside. I empty the water after pouring the water for coffee. The manufacturer said to prevent rust on the rim wipe dry, to remove what it had, they suggested a little baking soda on a damp towel.

Bought from costco. Used 3 times in 3 days. Used it purely to boil water and noticed rust in the inside bottom :(

Yes. My first one rusted inside at the bottom and also leaking after 3 months or so.I thouhgt I was just unlucky, so I purchaed another one.My second one also rusted inside at the bottom only after 2 monoths.I had enough, so I purchaed Aroma brand (shiny stainless steel) - about $30. I had it now only 3 months. So far, no problem....

Yes, the bottom of mine has rusty build-up and I have no idea how I am going to clean it. It's gross and I am about to throw the thing away.

Do not keep any water in the kettle after you make your beverage and there should not be any rust.

No, we have no issues so far, we purchased it not that long ago so I am not sure if something changes

Ours has become very rusted around the inside of the lid as well the rim on the tea kettle where the lid fits in. This started happening several months ago and we have had it 1 year.

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

I've not experienced rust yet, but it does set unused. My house humidity runs around 58%. Have you tried a mild bleach and water solution for your mold?

I bring mine in during the winter months. It was outside for 1 summer and now has a different appearance than when I first bought it. Its more of a dirty rust now. Can't imagine what a winter would do to it. I live in WI. and we have some pretty harsh winters. I guess it's your call!

I use it quite often and then clean and dry it by hand and have had no problem with rust as of this date. Care in washing and drying it well is the Key

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.

No! I even leave a little water in it from time to time and no rust so far. I've had it for months & couldn't be happier.

Yes ours rusted some too after washing. I thought maybe my kids had left water sitting in it.

Nope! We have had ours for nearly three years now. It sits outside year round. We live in Ohio. No rust. The only thing that is less than perfect is the fit of the inner lid. It's not quite "true". Not a big issue. Good luck!

For me, it didn't rust, but the metal on the bottom inside became splotchy and discolored. And it happened after the first time of use. You can see what it looks like here: http://tinypic.com/r/zv6h3d/5(I still use it though.)

Ours is rust. It looks really nice. Have received many compliments on the color.

The surface of the heated plate on our unit appears to have started discoloring. I'm not sure it's rust;could be lime build-up. We've only had the unit about six months, so this is a little unexpected. The unit works great in all other respects.

I'm happy for the owners with no rust but nearly 6-8 pieces that I own have rusting at the top of the design. I took a chance and lost when ordering this set. I feel you're taking a chance as well if you order this set. Good luck!

Personally, I've accidentally left mine soaking in the sink for days before, hand-washed, and put them through the dishwasher about 10 times. So far, no rust at all.

Absolutely none and my service for 16 is in daily use. I'm sure I have over exposed it to water on occassion -- but no rust. Love it.
