Does this have metal fittings (the part that you attach the hose to), or is it cheap plastic?

No it has brass fittings on it. Its very well built and very sturdy. Im glad I bought mine. You won't regret it.

Metal. It is very well made and attractive I love mine. Really wouldn't want a different one. Just right for a classic garden.

The fittings are metal, HOWEVER, the fitting connection that allows the reel to turn wore thru in under 1 year. The metal is such poor quality that it corroded in the first twelve months and a hole appeared (not rusted... corroded). This fitting is not something you can buy from either your local hardware store or plumbing supply house... it is a proprietary part for this unit.

The connection to the faucet is metal and the connection on the left side I the box is plastic. What you connect your hose to is plastic also

the hose is not stainless steel. I am not sure it is plastic but it is stiff. I purchased a stainless hose at a local store to to replace the one that came with the faucet. I should have purchased a more expensive faucet that had the stainless hose to begin with.

Yes, not metal, but works fine. But don't buy any other connectors, for example "People who bought this also bought..." and they show you a brass hose connector, I bought it, it didn't fit, my bad, so I have another connector in my plumbing tool kit!!

Not as far as I know. There are no metal fittings, all plastic and the hose expands when water enters and collapses when water is let out. I do not know of any lead or metal that does that.

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 crimp on the hose & portion that pushes vale in on a standard tank are metal. The collar that screws onto the tank is plastic.

It is plastic. the hose is metal. Still working well for me, and looks almost like new! (only because I have hard water, so there are some spots)

Its a rubberized plastic. The hose is short which works well in my utility sink. I use it when bathing my small dogs. I also like the lever which keeps the water flowing without holding it on. I would recommend sprayer. It doelsn't leak either Hope that helps

They are metal fittings. They have a coating on them that feels a bit like plastic but they are for sure metal.

The fittings to the connector hose are brass but the hose itself is cheap and breaks easily.

My old hose was the metal one, too, and this was a perfect replacement. The new clip did not securely hold and came apart once after a few weeks. The second time I installed the hose and clip I wrapped the connection with plastic electrician's tape and it has held for a year without coming apart. Dave

Plastic. It is sturdy enough. However, I had one hose that split. You might want to order an extra 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.

Just has male threaded fittings, not sure what they are made from but I havent had any problem with breakage and I use it every day. Quick disconnects do not come with hose.

One would think for the price of this, it would all be metal. Unlike what someone else said, the gears/wheels are not metal; they are plastic with a rubber belt turning it. The item the hose winds around is metal. The item which slides back and forth to apply the hose evenly across the reel is plastic too; but, it does slide on the metal frame. The biggie for me is the "handle is metal"; this is the part I have always had rip off when I had plastic handles on previous junk. Thus far, this item is working very smoothly.
