Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For everyone looking for a plastic free electric kettle, this is not it. 1) There is a giant piece of plastic right at the stainless mouth of the kettle, that is NOT removable. So every time you pour hot water out it go through this piece of plastic. (yes you can remove the filter, but there is a giant plastic that holds the filter in place and is not removable). 2) There is huge amount of silicone at the bottom of the kettle that attaches the glass side to the stainless bottom. I returned this. For anyone's information, there is NO pure glass electric kettle for whatever technical reason. ALL of them has silicone rings at the bottom, and most with plastic cover / mouth. Your options for plastic free water heating are: A) Stove top all glass kettle (see my other review), it's not practical and isn't very user friendly. B) Secura stainless electric kettle - this is the only option in my opinion. The entire inside is 1 seamless stainless steel, no silicone / plastic whatsoever. And mouth/cover are also full stainless steel. It's also been around forever as an old brand. After trying all options, including the expensive $200-300 glass kettles, i can conclusively tell you there is no electric glass kettle without silicone ring. I would also get an all glass (high heat resistance) jug, so once you heat the water in the secura stainless steel kettle, pour it into the glass jug to let it stay. As i dont think you should leave water in stainless steel for long periods of time, but it is infinitely better than plastic/silicone under high heat.
