I just purchased the KEK1222 electric kettle.  I haven't even tried it yet.  Love the style and that it is mostly stainless steel. I'm still searching on line to find the answer many have asked re: whether the plastic filter frame and housing inside the pot is BPA free or not?  Why can't someone from KitchenAid just be up front and directly answer the question?  This a concern that numerous people have brought up in their reviews. If it's not BPA free is KitchenAid addressing this?  Otherwise, it's a great little kettle.
