To be sure, is this got a stainless housing? I am trying to avoid toxins, in this case from heated plastic.

The inside housing is stainless and glass. There is plastic housing on the outside of the toaster on the top, back and bottom, but doesn't get heated.

Its not plastic and we have had the toaster over a year with no toxic smell- its metal and cleans like stainless steel. We love it!

The outside is part metal, part plastic, and part glass. The plastic doesn't get hot.

Some of the case is stainless, but some is plastic as well (window, etc.). Hope this helps you.

It was all metal housing. I returned it cause it didn't get hot enough. I wouldn't recommend this one ;(

Stainless is durable and ok for all to drink from. Not galvanized. Plastic is no good. Pyrex glass is better but it breaks.. Shelters use stainless steel. But vets caution because of metal components in the containers and medical issues. There are metal interactions with galvanized that can cause problems.

No plastic, but I started getting headaches. I stopped using this boilr and started boiling water in a pan on the stove top and my headaches went away.

No, stainless is not. But it is easy toClean...just use oil or spray toCook.

This plastic doesn't need BPA, but it has some horrible endocrine disrupters. Its the additives in the plastic to make it heat resistant. There's also a gasket around the stainless steel heating plate. I have no idea what that is made out of. Perhaps silicone??? but even then, silicone is not safe!!! google siloxanes!Then choose your poison if you want hot water conveniently. You could get a glass water kettle and heated on the stove, or in the microwave... Nothing is perfect!!!

Hello! The only plastic part inside is the water measuring stick, the metal round inside is containing heating equipment and it has no seams inside kettle so it's perfectly safe to use, no plastic. I've got this kettle for my mom a year ago and it`s the best one from all we had, still working, no plastic taste. Please enjoy!

It's in the base. I wanted one with NO plastic. Hard to find. Here are it's problems: 1. the fill line is low and hard to see 2. it clicks off when it decides to click off after boiling hard otherwise you have to turn it off yourself 3. the filter they have in it makes the water go all over the place. #2 means the heat registration takes some time so maybe this will last longer than 2 - 3 years. But there is NO plastic. The base has all the information re: no immersion etc. This is the heating element. The heating registration is in the bottom of the pot. This is why it has to boil so hard to turn off.

I have no idea what the plastic is made out of, but I clean mine with extremely HOT, not boiling water and rubbing alcohol of at least 91%

Unfortunately it is made of plastic - code #5. I too, would like one made of stainless and I'm continuing to look for one. Still, this is a great improvement over the one I had which had a non-stick coating. Let me know if you find an all stainless one.

I see no plastic inside the kettle at all. Stainless steel and a heating element.

The product has no plastic # on it. However, as long as you are not running hot water through it the plastic should not be off gassing. Off gassing plastic to the bet of my knowledge will not off gas unless heated.

It's stainless steel in and out. No plastic. I've had a great experience so far. I recommend it!

this is a good point which I would like to know as I want to get one of these but not if an unhealthy chemical is leaching into the water from heating of the plastic. If anyone knows about this I would love to know. thanks

All parts of mine were completely stainless steel, no aluminum parts. I do not utilize aluminum cookware, or anti-perspirants.

The housing is plastic but the piece in frontis stainless. I am very happy with this purchase. I keep in on my counter and use it often. It chops food quickly and is easy to clean.
