Whats the quality of the product? Would you say its sturdy enough to last a few years? does it heat up easily? mostly plastic or metal?

I threw it out. It's technically works, I mean if you put batteries, of course it works, but it does not removes hairs. I tried almost in every area hoping it can remove hair even somewhere, but nope. So, I threw it.

It's not super heavy duty. But it isn't light cheap crap either. It's a decent quality, unless you plan on doing hardcore super grilling on a daily basis. I have a family of 5 and it's held up great. And we grill about every week, all year long. Including in the snow of Michigan. Hope that helps.

Everything appears to be metal. I was cautious about plastic units breaking, which is why I went with this one. So far, it has held up really well, and is very sturdy (and heavy). I could probably use it as a weapon in a pinch. :)

It's pretty solid plastic, I think it would do well for a while at least. I just unfortunately don't know how it will hold up or if it's strong enough for what you will dig or scrape

It's Plastic. Ours is about two years old and is holding up ok, but it does seem like the weak point of the unit.

It's hard plastic, I've had mine for a while with no problems. It's worth what it costs just make sure all the plastic studs are intact on the inside of the grill mine had some broken off and I had to return it. Other than that no complaints.

It's a combination of metal and plastic, but the plastic is sturdy. I don't feel like it would easily break.

I would oly use it with metal. It did not get overly hot but I would to take the chance with plastic. Maureen

I like you am concerned about plastic and aluminum parts. This boiler has no aluminum or plastic parts at all, except the handle which does not come in contact with the water. The inside of the lid is hollow. It's stainless steel and snaps into place. Some people have comented on it getting hot, but if you just hold the handle, and not the lid itself it's not so hot that you can't hold onto it. We are very happy with this water boiler, we use it every day for pour over coffee. We'd be suffering over stove boiled water without it. Heats water in less than 4 minutes.

It is plastic, but we've had one like it for 2 years and it's still in good shape.

It's sturdy. It's almost easier to just make it in a pot. I've only used it a few times. One time it boiled all over the microwave . It's up in my cupboard and has not been touched since right after I bought it.

Hi, YES it is metal. I would think it will last longer and be better than plastic. I would change.

It's made of both metal and plastic. I can't say if it's of the same quality as the original because this is the oldest one I've gotten my hands on but it really is a great quality. Sturdy. I got it for my nephew and he wanted to play with it so I let him take it out and he's played with it a hundred times, transforming it back and forth, and it is still fully functional and nothing has broken on it or anything.

It's is built fairly well for the price and seems like it will hold up for several years with average use. I haven't owned mine for more than a few few months, but no problems so far.

Yes...mine is a few years old, if they are still building it the same - it is sturdy, heavy, well made and a pleasure to look at. Parts are solid, not flimsy. The only plastic I see is the top cover and the knob. I so love mine that when I had a kitchen island built I had a heavy duty drawer with low sides built for it (very near an outlet).

Metal. Works really well, I like it. l do as they suggest and put hot water in it for a few minutes, pour it out, the put in the stuff i want to keep hot. Having the insides hot already keeps the stuff hot longer. The outside also heats up fast if you run hot water over it.

Metal & plastic. I still have it after a year or so. It seems to make that room a couple of degrees warmer and that seems to do the job.
