It's sturdy and very stylish, I love how it lookst on my kitchen counter but it's not completely plastic free, which is a real shame. The mesh filter and the part which is holding the filter are plastic. Those parts are BPA free and not in touch with water during the boiling process, but again this would be the perfect kettle without them. I'm thinking to remove those parts but it looks a bit tricky and I'm scared that I might damage it.
This is a really nice item especially if you're tea lover looking for a kettle to make speciality teas! It's great that it shows the temperature of the water inside it.

- 1500 watts for fast heat-up
- Blue backlit water window
- 360° swivel cordless connector
- Stay-cool nonslip handle
- Concealed heating element to prevent mineral buildup

Another plastic free kettles or with a bit of plastic which is not in contact with water that I liked are these but unfortunately I didn't managed to find the retailers for two of them in the UK:
1. Breville One Touch Tea Maker
2. Ottoni Fabrica Alice Kettle

Hey. Thanks for your the review and photo of INSIDE the kettle! :D I'm close to buying this as well. Does the water fill gauge not come into contact with the water then?
Thanks for any info! Steve
Sorry that I'm writing so late, but yes water comes into contact with water fill gauge. It's all stainless steel inside the kettle but unfortunately there's a little hole which lets some water in that area between steel and plastic. Hope this is helpful.
