The pump is power by small electric (12 volt DC ) motor and the material for the body of the pump is composite black plastic is so small but powerful, I used to create vacuum to filter wine and works fine. If you use to crate vacuum in plastic container be careful because it will be collapse. I don't know how long this little pump will last but until now mine is working fine.

I think it's all plastic. It's pretty cool if you can deal with the occasional leaking around where the base meets the body. I like mine.

plastic pump housing with brass fitted connections. I works great for me in a solar application. tony-western nebraska

The pump is plastic. It seems to be of somewhat better quality than plastic pumps on sprayers costing much less. I am pleased with the purchase and it is much more dependable than the many "throw away" sprayers that I have previously passed.

Hi Stephanie: No...everything is plastic. The top looks like chromed metal but it is plastic also. Our three pumps are still performing well after nearly a year of daily use. I think you'll be happy with this pump.

Hello. The whole thing is made of plastic, with the exception of the metal blade. It works quite well.

Plastic... they are just like the ones you would get if you bought a Medela pump.

Plastic. Be prepared to have low low flow to get any performance out of this one.

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. :)

I want to say plastic . I was dumb and bought a used machine guaranteed for 6 months and sure enough 5 and a half months later it quit so I threw it out. It was to say the least a disappointment and another thing it is a tiny piece of machinery

It is made out of plastic. I bought mine approximately one month and so far, it is working. You cannot put too much water in it, so it really doesn't last long and then if you still want it to operate, you have to put more water in it. I love mine so far.

Plastic, if you want a "humidifier" dont buy this.. I brought this because of "aroma theraphy" and with that it serves its purpose (but only for 10mins) until it became defective... still waiting for sellers response

The laser body is made of aluminum. The battery case and other non-structural components are plastic. All in all, a quality rig.

It is made of plastic. Works good for a fabric type hose, which is why I bought it, but probably wouldn't hold up long for a heavy rubber hose.

it is made from brass , plated with different metals . Looks good , but the pumps suction and its recovery for a second disposal is small and slow.
