4.0 out of 5 starsClarification of some long-standing confusions of this kettle
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2016
I write to clarify some long-standing confusions about this product.
First, I did notice some "rusty points" on the inside bottom surface after using it for several weeks. However, I found that these points were actually not rust and they came from the water, not from the steel of the kettle, as I was able to remove them by my fingers.
Second, I did notice the advertisement saying that the "interior" of the kettle is made of aluminum, which raised my great concern as I do not want to have dementia in future.However, I found that this statement is an English grammar mistake as the "interior" in the advertisement actually refers to the interlayer between steel layers. And I'd like to make it clear that the inside surface of the kettle that contacts water is made of steel.
Third, I did see some terrible pictures showing the appearance of the kettle after months of use. I guess it depends on how you use it. One major shortcoming of the manual of this kettle is that it did not tell the temperature limit of usage. I myself have an electric oven/stove and I usually use "middle" or "mid-high" level of temperature for this kettle and I never used "high" temperature. I believe the "high" level temperature is harmful to all cookwares.
Today it is so hard to find a healthy kettle in the United States. It's almost impossible to find a plastic-free electric kettle today, and the only pure steel electric kettle is not in good-quality (I am not gonna say the product brand) as one inner portion of that kettle was made of iron and soon got rusty. On the other hand, if you want to buy a non-electric, pure steel kettle, you will find it impossible to find a 100%-made-in-USA steel kettle. But the steel quality of this product seems to be fine although it is not made in the USA. Most importantly, it seems that it is the only option for me, as I want a healthy, pure steel kettle.
I give 4 stars for it and if it is made in the USA, I will give 5 stars.
