Is the unit plastic, and if so it is BPA/BPS free

The casing of the filters are plastic. The tank is stainless steel. I think that the plastic is safe because it has to endure high pressure. I believe that the tank is the most important part. You will be using the water int he tank first

It is all metal, there is no plastic on the unit at all. So far it has worked great. Remember to keep the oil level full; this is not hard to do.

I'm going to have to guess no. There aren't any labels saying it is BPA free, and BPA free materials have a different sound when I tap them. This seems to be regular plastic.

Yup, it's definately plastic and PBA free. Very happy with the product after 3 months of daily use.

It's BPA free by design due to the fact that it's stainless steel. You only really need to be concerned about BPA in polycarbonate plastics.

I do not know for sure, but I am fairly certain that nothing on it or it's packaging said it was BPA free.

Yes it is free of BPA. This should answer your question: http://westbend.com/support/product-faqs/materials-statements/plastics.html

The actual container is made of metal. The lid and dispensing mechanism and catch tray are plastic and I cannot say if the plastic is BPA free. I can say that this is a great quality unit. Tiger is highly reputable in Japan and i would still recommend this product.

Yes. All except for the heating element of course. The plastic is good quality and keeps the unit cool. I had one 20 years ago. It too was plastic and lasted the years until the heating element died. This one is designed better, works better, and cleans up easier. Don't worry about the plastic.

I am guessing since it is a nalgene product and BPA free that it is. I hand wash my gear so I really don't put my stuff in a dishwasher but it has a dense enough abs style plastic that if you did I wouldn't be concerned.

The base is plastic as is the whole canister. Canisters are BPA free and made in the USA. These are great canisters.

I was wondering the same thins. So, I looked it up on Progressive International's web site. That web site says that it is BPA free.

It is in a plastic jar but it doesn't specifically state BPA free. I assume it is however. It has seemed to be a quality product to me so far.

I have no idea if it's lead-free or not (im assuming since it's made in the USA that it is) and BPA is only located in plastic so yes, it is BPA-free.

Yes, it is. There's a mark on the front of the packaging indicating that it is BPA free.

I didn't see readily on the box or owner's manual, but googling it shows (on the company website) that it is BPA free.
