I think "Hillary" means no water contact with plastic?

You will want to make sure it runs on your country's current ... and hopefully has the correct plug.

Pretty much, I just want one with no plastic inside the kettle, the Bonavita actually has a bit inside from what Amazons reviews tell me.

I don't think you'll find any where there is no bit of plastic someplace--the pino & bonavita both have a bit of plastic near the top, actually above the recommended max water line. If you want the convenience of an electronic variable temp kettle, it's going to have plastic.

I was under the the impression that Kamjove didn't have plastic in them....thats a bummer. I find it kinda hard to beleive its impossible to make one without plastic inside.

Yes, it does but its above the waterline so it doesn't touch the water.

Yes, it's just part of the handle that bolts through the kettle...above the water mark.
I've had mine for a few months now and I am very happy with it.

I haven't seen all the possible Kamjove models, but I would be surprised, based on the ones I have seen at the local shops, if there was one without some bit of plastic in there someplace.

Some Kamjove models sold in China (and some from similar brands sold in Japan) are fully stainless steel. However, from what I've seen, the setup for such models is more similar to a stove-top kettle than an electric kettle - the base contains the heating element (induction element, if you're lucky) and the kettle is really no different from a stove-top model.

I know, but from what I gathered from the one I just returned the water collects on it and drips down, I know it isn't much and I am probably paranoid but cancer likes to hit my family...and I try to avoid anything possible I guess, maybe silly but yeah not gonna up the chance even if its .01 percent.

Thats interesting because I thought of using some sort of hot plate or induction plate and a kettle as I was looking for tea kettles but none of the plates I found really met what I wanted for a decent price. Is this a bad thing though, it basically being a stove top design?

If the heating element is part of the kettle I'd think it'd be heavy and you'd also be dragging a cord? I'd find that unworkable.

Hillary,

You might find the following Bonavita review to be of interest:
http://www.electriccordlesswaterkettle. ... re-kettle/
There's a paragraph that discusses the topic of plastic inside the kettle.

For those who may not have seen the Amazon reviews that Hillary mentioned:

1. Does the Bonavita gooseneck kettle have silicone that comes in contact with the water?

2. Are there any recommended Variable-Temp Electric Kettles from the USA, Europe, or Japan?

Thanks
