Is this machine made entirely of metal, or are there plastic parts as well? If so, which parts?

Lots of plastic. Not really a commercial machine. More of a big home model. Made in China, of course.

None of the parts that have plastic on them are metal (this is not like the mixing attachments if that's what you mean). There are plastic pieces (in the picture, everything white), but there are also metal parts which appear to be stainless steel. I used mine a couple of weeks ago to make applesauce from 160 lbs of apples and everything held up fabulously, and cleaned up easily.

No it is made out of hard plastic in entirety. The only metal things are the locking screws. The plastic is quite thick.

it's definitely all steel construction! there are just a few plastic parts: the power swiches, and the door handle, and the cooling fan. we distill our water into the glass jar so there is never any contact of water with plastic.

No plastic parts. All stainless steel and really a wonderful dehydrator that I highly recommend!

As far as I can tell, there are no plastic parts. The back pieces slide on metal, also. It's very sturdy.

When I put it together all the parts look like plastic but you can probably google it. I hope that helps you.

Hi,It is still except the part where the motor is which is plastic. But the part that blends is metal. Hope this help.

There are some small bits that Might be metal (collars of couplings). The rest is 100% PLASTIC. Stainless finish...plastic....flex hose...plastic...threads on couplings....plastic.

I am not home right now to verify. However, I believe its metal internals covered with plastic.

It's all plastic, so not too heavy. Great motor and suction but the points where all the parts connect are cheap and flimsy. I've had almost every connection of wands, nozzles and the power carpet attachment break. What should have been a great machine is rendered useless by cheap parts.

I'm not positive but I would guess some metal and some plastic since it isn't a top of the line machine.....but I have had mine for over 2 years now and have had not one needle break or ANY problems with this machine. It's a great beginner, intermediate machine and would be great for taking to a class too because it's not huge! I love this little workhorse of a machine and have sewn through the thickest materials and interfacaing, even the gals in my sewing class where shocked at how well my machine did compared to their $1000 or more machines!!! I hope this helps!

The wheels inside are metal. The bar that holds the feeding mechanism is also metal but covered with robber. The only plastic part is the front piece that you see in the picture where the hose feeds through. We have had this hose reel for 2-3 years & have had no problems.

I think it's metal incased in a plastic coating. Very good unit, I highly recommend it.

It is mostly plastic, but a front portion is stainless. The machine works really well and is easy to clean...very glad I bought this!

It's all plastic, except the blades are steel or metal. Either way it works fine

It's made of plastic with metal cutting blades... Be careful though as there is some false advertising so make sure it actually does you want. Read my review for details.
