Has anyone had any issues with rusting after several months? I have a kettle that has rusted (different brand) and I'm trying to avoid that.

I've had mine for two months and no sign of rust and no problems yet (and I use it multiple times every day).

Nope, bought this as a gift was so impressed that I got one for my self. Both working fine. No rust so far. Actually, I don't believe that stainless steel will rust.

Absolutely no rust after 2 years. I even bought an extra one in case it ever stops working because I love it. I use it all day long everyday.

My mom has only had the kettle for two months. She uses it every night, so far no problems with rusting.

I'm very happy with my Le Creuset stainless steel tea kettle. No rust at all. The lid has a little bit of weight to it, which I like.

I have no problem with the product rusting. Holds up well if cleaned and cared for after each use. I have had one for more then 5 years and bought a 2nd one as a gift about a year ago.

Hello there- I bought this great looking kettle about a year ago and I have had no problems. I care for it as the instructions tell me to. The inside is all stainless steel and according to my experiences, there is no leaching going on. To be honest, I am not sure how to tell if leaching was occurring. seems like great quality. Hope this helps :)

I have not had any problems with rust. After I use it, I rinse it under the faucet and throw it in the drain rack. I had my first one for 15 years and have had this one for 9 months. I love it!

I have had no issues with rust in 2 years with near constant use. Scale was an issue but citric acid descaling and using filtered water fixed that.

I have had mine for 5 months now, we use it regularly and have zero rust. I wash it out and let it air dry after every use.

I also saw a rust spot in the bottom of the kettle, and I had it barely for 2 weeks and used a handful of times. Disappointed.

I have had mine since March and so far have not had any rust problems. I am actually going to purchase another one for the shower in my guest bath. Hope this helps.

I have not had mine that long so no rust - BUT, my sister has had one for a long time and NO rust. Maybe it is your water?? We love this product.

Mine did not rust, but don't use it any more,bought the $25.00 one that fits the whole top of a pan.This particular one came apart when I was using it and I plunged my hand into the boiling water. So cheap is not always the good answer. It wasn't for me.

I actually do leave water in it. I have had past tea kettles rust as well, but not this one. Not a speck of rust or any problems with it.

I have used mine for months and no rusting. I even run them through the dishwasher and they come out fine.

Eventually is a funny timeline, so yes, it will eventually rust. Stainless is called such because it stains "less" than unalloyed steels and iron. The more alloyed the material is, the more rust and corrosion resistance it will have. I wouldn't immerse the kettle in hot salt water for extended periods of time though.

We've had ours 6 plus months. No sign of rust. It's stainless steel. Not sure how it would rust.

I also found rust on the inside bottom of the kettle. Not sure what you mean by never leaving extra water in the kettle - it's a kettle, and in my house, that means it's used a dozen times a day, if not more. There's NEVER a time when it doesn't have water in it, and quite honestly, that shouldn't make a whit of difference! I got rid of it with some steel wool, it didn't return, but it did make me question the overall quality. The on/off switch on mine failed after six months, so I replaced it. The manufacturer's help line was only open Mon-Fri 8am-4pm, which only strengthened my conviction that it wasn't a great product. I ended up replacing it with an Oster, which has an actual spout that you can pour from (another gripe I had with this model), as well as a water gauge, and a much better designed on/off switch.

Ours has not rusted...yet. Only had it for a few months, and is a lot easier to use than others she has tried.
