This review is from: Krups FL700D50 Electric Kettle with Incorporated Tea Infuser, Temperature Settings and Keep Warm Feautres, Glass and Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I emailed Krups and they said that the plastic infuser for this product is BPA free, but i do wish it was glass or metal instead.
Works great.. only thing that could make it better is a noise to let you know its done heating up.
The Breville model similar to this one has a feature where you can heat in 5 deg increments and a timer to start boiling water for people who want their tea before work etc...and i believe this informs you when its done heating.. but for $230 for the Breville model the Krups is a cheaper alternative.

Krups has done a great job with this tea kettle! This item makes a perfect cup of tea! I was not so sure about purchasing it since it is a new item and hadn't been reviewed before. It arrived in just two days and I used it immediately. It is very simple to use. So simple that you wonder why it cost $100. But really, that's a good thing. You are definitely paying for the quality and it is very well constructed. I wasn't sure if the infuser basket was glass or plastic. Turned out it is plastic. The directions talked about a plastic taste that you may experience at first use, but I heated and disposed of two kettles of water with the infuser lowered prior to actually brewing tea and I experienced no plastic taste at all. I would hope that Krups would have made the infuser BPA free, but I can't find any evidence either way. The water heats quickly and the multi-temperature function is great for brewing various types of teas. Also, once you brew, the pour spout has a fine mesh screen that...Read more

The tea kettle works great. I don't use the infuser, though i tried it once and it worked fine. i use it as a water heater with different heat settings.
Now for the reason it is not a five star.
the heat settings listed don't match my 2 test thermometers. I wanted a 165 setting that the product doesn't have.
I found that mine actually has one, because all the settings except boil are about 10 degrees lower than the listed temperature, so if i want 165 degree, i set it at 175 and so on.
so, for me it works, just, if you get this product check the temperatures.
Just so you know, i purchased this about a week ago. I do use it about 4 or 5 times a day
