does this particular unit have the metal as the heating element or the funny raise hump? I'm looking for the older model with the metal plate.

My unit has the circular plate at the bottom of a shallow cup and that's where a felt wick type pad goes. Great design.

I've used it twice since purchase (about a month or so ago) and have not noticed the metal plate being hot when I changed the different length attachments. I'll pay more attention the next time I use it. Len

It looks like both. The sides and top are made of plastic and the bottom is the heating element and it's metal.

The one I have is stamped Korea on the bottom, but heats up quickly and looks to be copper. I purchased a new one and it looks like copper, but think it is mostly stainless steel and took forever to heat. So I got on ebay and found the one I purchased for $35 The more expensive ones were made here in the states and get pretty pricey even on Ebay. You can't find a new one with a good copper bottom in stores. I asked in some of the best stores.

The metal tag on the heating element says that it was made in China. I don't know about the rest of the components.

The heating element is a stainless steel plate at the bottom of the pitcher. I am not worried about it rusting. Eventually some scale may build up, but that can be cleaned. I've been using the kettle for 3 months and i think it works great. Heats very fast and made very well.

The heating element is in the base. I love this electric kettle and I've owned plenty. This won is a keeper. And just to note, I have another as a back up as I do not like to be without this item. I recommend!

Yes, it is the model I have; I was disappointed that it is not made of metal like the ones that came with my mixer, but it does work well.

I would think that the interior material is plastic. The top & sides are made of plastic and the bottom is the heating element and it's metal.

Yes, it comes with the rotisserie and the sizzle station. I purchased a stainless steel grill plate for the sizzle station. It is easier to clean than the cast iron. Great, fantastic grill!

Yes to both. It is a thin metal with enamel coating, (like an old stove). It heats up quick, so be carful not to scorch.

It is all plastic and then heating element on the bottom (don't know what metal is it, but it scratches and in the places it gets scratched residue won't go off even if you use special solutions).

At the bottom it's a flat stainless plate, most of the element is covered, except for a small stainless rod that goes up the inside of the carafe near the handle side. I've had it a while now, and I haven't had any problems with it, it works well, easy to clean!

Yes, The new ones have a titanium heat exchanger. I can see some copper in the inside. I replaced my other model with the same one and this one works a lot better. Hope this helped.
