Is the impeller plastic as JLM's review states or METAL? Did he get the wrong model or is it a 'bait & switch'?

I think the model I have is plastic parts. I have had no problems with it as yet ( a few months ).

No the impellers are a hard plastic and the pulleys are metal. It is a great kit for the price.

Yes it is, but the knob that you use to adjust the speed appears to be a high quality plastic piece. I had to really look at it to tell if it was plastic or metal.

If you are refering to the plastic gear that drives the blades, I can say with certainty that is has not. I love this machine and when mine went on the fritz we called the mfg and ask about a replacement part and was told no when ask about metal. I now have a new one (that cost less than repairs would have). I also have written and suggested they make every effort to devise a metal one, especially for people like me who uses the system every day. My sugggestion if it no longer works and it is the little gear in the base, pitch it, get a new one. My last one lasted over 5 years and for the amount of use and the cost, well worth the investment. Oh yes, I tried other systems before repurchasing the Black and Decker Food system and sent them back as they fall very short of convienent to use.

That impeller was the reason I sent it back. I never was impressed with toro stuff but I bought their blower. Metal impeller. It is one of the best lawn/porch tools I have.

Hi I could not find them separately so I had to order both, my problem was the metal part, somehow that is the part that gives more problems, my advice is to buy the whole thing and sooner or later you will have to replace the pump itself. Maria

Two of the attachments with blades only differ with the material which holds them - one se of blades is held in plastic - the other in metal. On a different note - my unit does not perform as described in that the so called variable speeds does not work. I probably should have exchanged it.

The blades (both of them) are stainless steel as is the shaft connecting the blades to the underside rotor.All I can see, other than what I described above is plastic.

This product is metal. if a reviewer received plastic then they got a wrong product.

J. Sams, I think that what is purported to be stainless advertised, is. I have this drainer, and I wanted stainless vs. plastic. I am quite satisfied with the product.

Although the manual doesn't specify, I looked it up at zoeller.com under specs for you. It is 9.4 amps with a non-clogging vortex impeller made from engineered plastic.

I do not know. I bought the impeller for a generator on a yatch. Might want to ask vendor.

sorry i am no help! i didn't realize the product had a plastic instead of metal blade, which i needed--so, i gave it away.

Nope, same crappy motor. I wasted my money spending extra for the metal version

Appears to be high impact plastic.....it's not a vacuum where something passes by the impeller.....it looks to be all one piece.....happy with product so far......

I think most sewage pumps use plastic impellers but Zoeller has a very good web site to check for sure.
