Does water flow over any plastic or metal parts inside the unit?

Yes, both the motor and the charcoal filter are encased in plastic. No exposed metal on this product at all.

Inside the unit the are a couple of plastic pieces for the filter and pump to guide the water to the top bowl. There is one rubber grommet in the top bowl. There are no metal pieces.

No only water as this is attached to the outlet not the intake. We have ours since early spring and no problems. This works as advertised.

There is a drip plate under the bottom center hole which catches everything that flows. The inside does get covered with some drippings but comes off easily with wet paper towels.

The cover water from the faucet to flow through at full speed, but there is no splattering. We have had this disposal for about a year and really like it.

The Only plastic parts are the underside of the lid and a little on the inner part of the spout - otherwise all metal surfaces

No, the plastic tubing and the unit fittings are integrated. This replaced another similar unit, so the cold water line was already tapped--no fittings involved. I've been pleased with the unit, the faucet is higher quality than you sometimes find with these things, and so far it just works. Haven't changed out the filter yet, but it looks pretty easy.

Yes, the inside where the water & oil go are plastic, as is the remote control. The outside base is ceramic, and the top mesh shell is metal. It works great, is easy to clean and use.

i see no plastic elements inside the kettle. The underside appears to be all stainless.

I also found this difficult to tell - at first glance it does seem like the glass container is a complete unit sitting on top of the metal plate, but once I reached my hand in and had a closer look, I would agree that the water does seem to touch the metal. That being said, the water doesn't touch any plastic components, which I'm more concerned about. I love this kettle, it works great!

There are specific water flow requirements for these units. Check to see that your system meets these Also check screen filter to be sure it is clear.

The working parts are all stainless steel, but of course the base and handle will be of a plastic material but nothing that comes into contact with the water contents. At the back of the kettle there is a clear plastic window that shows the amount of water in the kettle. This appears to be a small reservoir and again does not appear to be part of the main water containment area. The filter inside is of a high density nylon mesh. The lid exterior is plastic but the lid interior appears to be stainless steel.Hope that helps.

I installed a PVC system for my unit and built it in such a way the the air must travel uphill for a ways thus making it more difficult for the water to get to the unit. I have had no problems with water in the unit. Hope this helps.

Yes, as you can see the clear water dispenser is plastic & water goes into it & down a hard plastic tube. I don't if that answers your question but hope so.

The interior is stainless -- can't guarantee there are no plastic parts exposed, but the stainless reservoir was part of my criteria. It's not lined. But when you dispense water, there is enough steam I think I would hesitate to put this near unfinished wood, for example, under cabinets. It's not from when it's heating, but when you dispense the water -- can't help a plume of moist then!

Depending on the installation, there is a filter between the tank and the water supply. The instructions note that you should check this filter if you have diminished flow.

Yes, water spills over the side of the stainless bowl and then lays on the plastic tray surrounding the bowls since there is a lip to prevent the water from falling to the floor.

There is plastic inside the body - above the area where the water level is and near the spout. The lid's knob is plastic.
