Plastic or Metal? Can someone tell me if this is metal or plastic?

I was wondering the same thing. (I stumbled upon your question in my search.) I was happy to find out that the whole DS series (DS-30, DS-40, DS-50) all have metal casings. Memory appears to be the only difference between the DS-30 and DS-40. The DS-50 (1GB) also adds a remote and carrying case.

It's plastic. I haven't used that feature, so I can't say whether or not it works well. Sorry.

It's plastic, but hard plastic and has served me well. I have two of them, they are great. I have put them up for the season.

some kind of plastic, we gave the one we purchased as a gift so I cant directly check it, but recall it was plastic.

It is plastic. Pretty sturdy, as far as plastic goes, though. I bought to use outside. I have a prettier, glass one for indoors. Hope this helps!

It is plastic. Not cheap or flimsy. Just need to be careful not to scratch and it should last a long long time.

Pretty sure it's plastic. Hard for me to tell, but it looks decent either way.

Sorry to be so slow...I've been out of town. I'm not sure about plastic or not but it is beautiful and works well. I am very happy. Judy

It's plastic....I wasn't happy with this scoop. Ended up getting the big metal scoop they sell at Amazon, much happier with that one.

Arun, The first one I purchased over 5 years ago is metal,my new one purchased a few months ago appears to be plastic (I haven't used it yet). I hope it works well,but now that you have called this to my attention I am dubious.

It's not metal, it's plastic. I've had mine for a few months and it still looks great. I put mine away from the water so it doesn't get direct water spray.

It's plastic. Not recommended, in freezing or extreme heat conditions. But I just love mine ! It's indoors

Its plastic and metal. Mine did not survive indoor use even, so I would not recommend it for outdoor use.. Or not recommend it at all.

Mine is plastic. Way cheaper than the aluminum model, or it was when i bought it off Amazon.

This one is plastic. I have had it mounted for several months and found it very durable.
