Where are the kettles made? I'd like to purchase products that aren't made in China. Where are the electric kettles manufacture?

If it's not China, then I'll eat one; but Toastess is a trademark of a Canadian company.

This is confusing...it says "Made in China" at the bottom of the base, but the glass kettle says Germany....so ?????? I still love this teakettle; maybe it was mfg'd in China to German standards? It also says "SCHOTT" and "DURAN" on the glass..... But it is the best one I have ever had...and I have had a number of these things.

I have not been able to find anything on the kettle that indicates where manufactures. It says it was designed in USA. Regardless, I would not buy this kettle again. It is very attractive, but extremely heavy, and is lined with a plastic-like material that I was not able to find out about until after I had it for awhile. It looks like metal inside. I had specifically asked about that before I bought it, and been told the only plastic was at the spout. I felt Kitchen Aid was very disingenuous in their marketing of this kettle. At this price, it should not be lined with plastic. I have some mild arthritis in my hands and find it very heavy to lift and pour.

Unfortunately, it is not American. Big surprise; it is made in China. (And yes, I did attempt to find one made here, but I could not. If anyone knows of an electric kettle made stateside, let us know!)

I just did a live chat with Kitchenaid, and they stated (I printed the chat for my records) that all of their kettles have BPA free plastic on the wall of the kettles to protect them from mineral damage. I have read from many reviews that BPA free plastics are just as bad if not worse than BPA plastic when exposed to heat. Finding a safe/healthy option for an electric kettle is proving to be quite frustrating.

I checked the kettle but could not find the country of manufacture - I no longer have the packaging which might list this info.

Germany. We know for sure and it's why we got this particular tea kettle- it's not made in China....

There are no markings on the kettle (or base) indicating the location of manufacture. And I don't have the manual any more. Sorry.

Just to add to this conversation, even if many month later: I called All Clad and they said the tea kettle is made in China. Most of their products are. Made I n the US! Except for specialty items like this. It is made in an All Clad factory, not sub-contracted out, and it is made to their specs and monitored, as they do in all their factories. Given this response I am going to buy the tea kettle because I have had their cookware for many years and am satisfied. I have to trust them, even though I am not in the h a it of trusting corporations anymore, in particular those having anything to do with the growing and preparation of food.

I just went to Target looking for an electric kettle and NONE of the 3 brands had info on what the inside is made of. I am also not going to buy a product made of plastic that I am boiling drining water in on a daily basis.

made in China. I find this kettle beautifully made/designed, feels very good and balanced, call it ergonomically designed. Best we've ever had.

I'm not 100% sure but I read proctor silex uses global tech which is a outsourcing company in Dugguan China.I purchased the kettle and sent directly as a gift so didn't have access to the box.Proctor silex has a long "social policy" so it's possible they have the products made in many different countries,it's not easy finding that information on the web

The product is manufactured in China. There are a few plastic parts in the kettle, but can't say if it is BPA free.

I'm not sure where this particular brand is made although I think UK. I have seen other "British" style pots made in China. I'm sure the teapot maker's website would list country of origin. We love our teapots, by the way. We've got 3 for the tea-drinkers in the family.

After much research online I found out that it is a Canadian company, but their teapots are manufactured in Asia. No specific country was mentioned on their website. I love my teapot if that helps. I have had it about 6 months. One of the prettiest pots I've seen.

Mine is also made in Thailand, kept my water hot overnight up in the sub temperatures of Kilimanjaro. Japan made ones are probably very difficult to find now.

I have no idea if its made in usa i sent kettle back next day upon receiving it.. i found that the best kettles are the ones u can press and release for water to pour out of spout. Most cheaper models don't allow u t press spout button release. i found a newer and better model at Ross for $15.. Its so much better to go in and asses the product in person before buying on line.
