Question 1

Where is it made?

Accepted Answer

The bottom of the pot says made in China but the glass. itself if German.  I love this kettle, well worth the investment

Question 2

So is this BPA free (where water comes in contact) or not?  I am confused by the Breville claim that it is and customer reviews.  ALso, is there much

Accepted Answer

Dint buy this kettle. I bought it after much research looking for a bps free and not made in china product and was excited to get this however when we received it- upon opening the box there is a message on the box that says the product has been deemed unsafe by California proposition 65. Upon further research I found that proposition 65 'Proposition 65 regulates substances officially listed by California as causing cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm in two ways'. So FORGET BUYING THIS- god knows what is in the plastic or anything!!! An very disappointed and back to hunting again. Ugh

Question 3

Hi - Does this kettle boil for a little while before auto-shut off, and if so, for approx how long? Also: Does it beep? Thank you!

Accepted Answer

It "full" boils for 15 to 20 seconds at least.  No, it does not beep, but if your hearing is good, you can hear it click off from about 30'  The click is not annoying and it only clicks once.  I know it seems like a lot, but we love it, and use it 3 to 9 times a day!!!  I is so fast, no smell, and looks good.  Good luck.

Question 4

can the glass be immersed in water to clean? i've never had an electric kettle....i want to make a good choice......

Accepted Answer

The glass can, but not the bottom of the base.  I clean it after each use with a dish brush inside and out, and run water over just the glass, top, and handle to rinse, then dry outside with a towel.  Just don't get water in the base.  And be careful around hard surfaces -- the spout is delicate, and if you tap it against a counter or sink it will break.
