Is the knob harder or softer plastic? Or is it rubber?

It is hard plastic-type material, easy to hold on to even with weak or sore hands.

The knob is strong with good grip; it works fine. If you prefer a metal knob, you can get a modified Progress known as Mergress.

There will be some some firmness in the knobs because it is new, over time the knobs will become much easier to turn.

The knob broke on booth of mine in 2 days. this i the older version of course i didnt know that at the time. Buy the version that has a switch rather than a knob that turns.

The knobs are angled with a blended radius to the smaller diameter. I hope i answered your question! I am very happy about my purchase.

I think the knobs are made of plastic, but they are very high quality and it's actually really hard to tell. They look like glass, but if you tap them with a fingernail they kind of seem more like plastic. Again - high quality and you can't really tell.

Power switch is metal and adjustment knob is plastic. This is a heavy duty machine and build quality is top notch. You will get years of use from this machine. I use this for sharpening all kinds of items.

I don't think it's a very hard plastic at all. Does not rub the metal. I only used it for 2 months, though.

This is hard plastic not soft rubber. However, you will not find a soft rubber one any more. I think this is the best out of the bunch. It has a small lip under it towards the front and you just want to make sure that you have this lip extended beyond your countertop as it stops the water , when it drains; from backing up on your countertop. I do like it as far as the new ones go,,,

It is more rubber than plastic, but it is not real soft. It is like the coating you find on pliers. I would not recommend it, though. It is extremely messy and doesn't tell you it takes a LONG time to dry. If you prop the item up, the gooey stuffs runs down the rest of the item. if you hang it up to dry, it still runs down and makes a bubble at the bottom. I ended up throwing the item I was trying to coat AND the plasti dip away!

It is the same. I replaced some of my knobs on a Jennaire with these. (These are the same cheaply made knobs that came on your expensive Jennaire)

Just received the 12 cup pot and the knob is plastic. I am purchasing the glass knob for 5.71 at Amazon.

It's a harder rubber surface, but it's not smooth. It has a little texture to it and things don't seem to slide on it very much.

Hello ElderOnly the flow control knob is brass. The older version of the nozzle has a plastic flow control knob. The rest of the nozzle is steel.

The knobs are plastic, everything else is metal except the foam on the handle.

I believe it takes a standard knob. I used a metal know with the screw to tighten it down I don't think you would have any issues with a standard knob
