the hose is plastic....i don't think that there is any metal material in the hose at all...

the handle is plastic and the hose is metal -- we had another model (Sprite Shower Falls) for many years and loved it -- it was also plastic with a metal hose --

It is a very durable plastic that has been working very well for us. I like how I can grab the hose and just start walking away from the rack and the hose easily slips off.

It is plastic. I bought 2 so I would have a spare when the connector on the shower head broke as my previous one did.

Hose is SS. The showerhead is plastic. After 6 months of use it still looks good, works great and I am very satisfied with the quality of This Delta product!

It's plastic. But it's pretty sturdy, we've used ours several times since we got it.

It's some sort of plastic and aluminum I think. My garden is organic but I don't try for certification but I can't see where it would be much different than a hose as far as non toxic goes. You have to adjust the strength of the spray at the faucet and one of the four I bought started leaking badly after a few months. About average quality for this type of product

It's plastic but very sturdy. My twin 3 yr old grandsons haven't been able to destroy it so that speaks volumes on the quality of this line!

The body of this faucet is all metal construction. There is a plastic sleeve inserted where the sprayer hose pulls out. The button on the sprayer head is plastic. The sprayer hose is braided from what appears to be stainless steel.

Plastic; the only metal was the hose connections. In my opinion it was advertised as being aluminum and actually came in a box labeled as aluminum. Consequently, it was not worth what I paid for it.

It is a heavy plastic. Very sturdy. Works best with the Gardens 1/2 inch hose.

Depends what model you get. Mine is a metal hose but as I recall it cost a bit more than the plastic hose model.

Metal now. It was previously plastic, but they redesigned it. I bought the new (metal triggered) unit about a week ago. I recommend it without reservation.

Hi Karen, if you mean the nozzle where you insert the hose, it is totally plastic. We actually just used it for the first time this weekend with the misting, it was quite nice. Can't say how long it will last, being plastic.

Plastic. But don't buy it! Air leaked from seams from day 1. Could not repair. Total waste!

It's a regular garden hose connection like I've always found on houses. It's plastic but connected solidly to my hose and hasn't leaked.

The end of the hose that attaches to it is metal but the connection on the unit itself is plastic like everything else. I have had mine a little over two years and the plastic reel inside the unit has deteriorated and broken just from the stress of winding the hose on it. I had originally given it a two star rating but now I would change to one star.
