Is the hose metal or plastic?

There is probably a plastic core, but the outside is braided metal in the same color as the rest of the fixture. Very similar to most handheld shower heads.

I believe it is steel. Very nice and looks much better than those ugly hose reels.

sorry for my previous response, the nozzle is metal, the bad quality plastic is the dispenser itself

As far as I can tell, it is metal. We have had no problems with it in the past year. The on/ off lever works like it was new and the stream/ spray switch on the head is still going strong.

Yes it is a metal flexible hose...we really like it. We are so happy we bought this one. Hope that helps.

I found them to be medium weight plastic. I use them in large flower beds and they work quite well. They are plastic, but not too light. At first the hose was a bit stiff but after being in the sun for a while, they softened.

I am not really sure. I think its metal...but its got a plastic feeling...may be coating. My husband thinks its metal. Anyway we love it. BUT it only comes as is. Had to come back to buy hose and mount to hang on. Be careful where you place mount. My husband and I had lengthy discussion about this. He hangs everything too high for me. Settled on a good reach hieght for me and positioned toward outer part of wall with spray facing in. He wanted to put the other way around which would have resulted in water going out on to floor. My husband is very handy but can't replace the womans perspective! I am not really sure. I think its metal...but its got a plastic feeling...may be coating. My husband thinks its metal.

Plastic. The hose sprung a leak after one week. They promised to replace it. I'm still waiting for the replacement 6 months later. Talk about a junk product.

the hose has a smooth plastic like skin, but coils much easier than the hard plastic hoses. I coil it like a garden hose an have no trouble. Steve

The only part that is plastic is the hand held hose head. Everything else is a light weight chromed metal. This is the best $$ value unit out there.

Yes it has a plastic hose that is very flexible. More flexible than metal hoses.

The body of the spout is metal, whereas the fittings/adaptors are plastic. Hope this helps.

I think it is all plastic but husband likes it. The "hose" needs to be cleaned out occasionally but that isn't a problem.

Hose appears to be made of rubber and plastic mesh. Don't see brass anywhere.

The garden hose adaptor comes with the unit. It is plastic, but works great. My wife loves this unit and we highly recommend it.

The actual reel and reel housing is all heavy duty plastic. But the center of the reel that the handle and (at the other end) where the water hose is attached to is metal. It's a strong pipe like center. I can't say what kind of metal that is. And it's not stated on the package. But a magnet does stick to it, so I doubt that it stainless steel. We've had super good experience with this style of Ames hose reel.
