Is the plastic made using BPA or BPH? One reviewer said the stainless is but didn't mention the plastic.

The company makes several models I have the stainless one.The body is metal. The inner valve (which is pushed down to push out air) and the lid are hard plastic.. And quoting from the Airscape Planetary web site "Designed of durable, BPA-Free, restaurant-grade stainless steel not only are the AirScape kitchen canisters non-toxic ..."

Yes, it is plastic. I called the company, and they told me it was BPA free; although, i did not get documentation from them.

Hi, Unfortunately the housing of the excalibur IS lined with BPA! It acts as an insulator. This is true for both the the plastic AND the stainless steel models. The company seems unwilling to change, and so I am stalling on purchasing this product until it makes one without BPA.

Not sure what BPS is but it is plastic. I am getting this from the inside of the cap. It is made in the USA and is a #5 plastic (Polypropylene). #5 is considered to be one of the safer plastics. I do not know if it is bpa free.

It's plastic, not really sure whether it's bpa free. We hardly used it. We bought a thermos that stainless inside work better. Hope this help.

No where on the packaging did it say BPH free and seeing that it's made in China I am most certain that it does contain BPH plastic.

Don't know about the BPA. Fittings are brass and seem very sturdy. It is approved for use with potable water.

I contacted Hagen through their website and was told it was BPA free. It's also listed on a few sites has BPA free but I wanted to confirm, hence asking them directly. You can contact them here: http://faq.hagencrm.com/ to make sure there haven't been any changes.

They are Completely stainless steel, no plastic anywhere. I'd guess they were addressing peoples fears regarding BPA items, not implying there was plastic involved in the product, making a strong statement that they are do Not contain BPA. They are what the picture on the left shows, totally stainless steel.

What plastic exactly? It mentions BPA free, but are there any other bisphenols used? BPS, perhaps? Where can we get the exact list of chemicals? Any certifications from a European consumer safety authority?

Well it is a poly made product. BPA I thought is mainly in softer plastics. But the unit works well and dose what it's supposed to do.

The interior is stainless steel but it has a few small plastic parts. The lid and the filter around the pour spout are both made with plastic parts and hot water does come into contact with them. I don't know if they are BPA free.

I studied the spigot with my magnifying glass and there is not an indication of what kind of plastic is used. the Spigot is metal. I have had mine for a month and use the Spigot 20 times a day. again the spigot per se is metal not plastic. I have no problems with the spigot and use it at least 20 times a day.

It's all plastic. I see others saying stainless steel, it does look like SS but it is plastic. The hose looks great and no issues with it so far.

People, BPA-free is a meaningless term. It only means that the plastic is most likely BPS plastic, which is equally a health concern.

The plastic is made of a high density polyethylene that is BPA free, according to the manufacturer's description. It is dishwasher safe, but I hand wash it and air dry. I've been very pleased with mine.

The one I had was plastic. The only thing stainless is the motor. You should check out the Breville.
