Question: Is the metal stainless steel?
Document: I like very much and my husband, too. Very easy to use it. Glass and stainless steel looking very nice.
Heats water fast, convenient, doesn't take up much room on the counter, sleek stainless steel style. Overall very satisfied with the product
I bought the kettle because I wanted a glass kettle. It turned out that the plate is stainless steel. Worse than that, it has began to get rusty in 10 days. I am returning this.
For 500 ml the level was at the top of the word MIN, for 1.7 l it was just above the . in 1.8QT (see picture).As a final note, the manual says to discard unused water, so no just topping it off and leaving water in it.In summary, if it wasn't for the taste we'd rate this kettle 5 stars, but since it fails at its basic task we are returning it and will be getting a kettle that is all stainless steel on the inside.
For all those who are concerned about BPA, this kettle is BPA free. I contacted the company and learned that the parts of the lid that are plastic is BPA free and the spout is stainless steel.I can't speak to the quality of the product (thus the 3-star), but I love that it's glass, BPA free, affordable, and a nice design to boost. This product is new on the market and I'm seriously considering a purchase.
I carefully followed the directions in the manual that came with it and even went beyond filling/boiling/discarding the 2 times recommended in the manual, going to 10 pots before making tea with it, using only our filtered water in it.Unfortunately, the tea we brewed had an off taste, so I boiled water in our old stainless steel kettle on the stove, and in the Nesco. I poured out the same amount in identical glasses (labeled on the bottom), let it cool, mixed up the glasses, had my wife try both.
I purchased this product for 2 reasons:1. It was BPA free and2. I absolutely loved the designI have done a lot of research on this type of kettles and I couldn't find the one that met my criteria and had a great design. When I finally found this one, it seemed like it was going to be the one: modern and cool stainless steel design, BPA free and efficient. Unfortunately the quality was not there. The kettle I got was not BPA free because part of the silicone where the glass meets the stainless plate at the bottom was exposed.
I boil approximately 1-2 pots of water a day for tea making so it gets what I would consider "light to normal" usage. We also own a stainless steel $19.99 cordless kettle from Costco (brand is Hamilton Beach) that has served us well for almost 5 yrs now with no problems. Figured it was time to treat myself to a nicer looking one made of glass and keep the other one as a backup.We had read all the reviews and treated the Nesco glass kettle with kid gloves because we were drawn to the blue glow.
so surprice to me. after couple months use ( purchased on 04/16/2013) kettle got rustly. as you knew i almost use every day. The reason that i like and purchase is because it is made by glass and stainless steel which i believe much healthier than plastic one.unfortunately it got rusty unexpectedly and i believe this kettle use cheap stainless steel for top area.i am do sad to see my admired product get so bad quality.now i would like to exchange to make a try again hwoever it is pass due date.i may search aroun again.Yong
I love my tea and researched like crazy to replace my amazing mini Russell Hobbs kettle that finally gave out and settled on this one after reading the reviews. It's made of glass and brushed stainless steel and looks just like the photo. There is a small circular strip of silicone around the concealed heating element hmm.Wish list: long lasting, BPA free, fast, small footprint and super attractive design.Good points:bpa free (silicone strip though).glass - fun to see water boil. fun feature: blue 'on' light illuminates boiling water -looks great at night.doesn't take up much counter space.fast w/auto shut off.has on/off tab - surprisingly, some kettles don't have this basic feature.very attractive modern design.Not so good points:the button that opens the lid sticks, you have to push it down several times to open for filling but I figured out the exact spot to depress so no problem.auto shut off does not work consistently, kettle has to be nearly full in order to activate the switch off mechanism.
Answer: yes., but there is some faint rust spots on the inside of the lid stainless steel area
