Yes they are metal. They are holding up very well. There is no rust on them at all. The unit is a powerhouse, I really love mine.

Everything that contacts any food is made of stainless steel. That means the housing, the removable cover, the racks, the rack brackets, the outside of the motor housing. (the rack brackets are removable also, be careful because they have burrs from being stamped out and will cut your fingers.)

No they are no metal, they are mostly plastic. They fell apart! Some of them as we took them out of the container.

Hello, those particular doors are plastic as are the handles. All are well made however.

Yes, the plastic is BPA free. The written material with the product clearly states that. Take a look at the manufacturer's website.

Hello... I just looked and didn't see that it was BPA free, however, I use the organic growing mats on all my trays. I thought it was unusual that there isn't a recycling triangle on any of the trays. If you use it, I would advise you to use the Handy Pantry 10 pack micro-mats for hydroponic growth of wheatgrass...

no - these are BPA and melamine free. Their materials is not actually plastic, but a compound that creates a hard plastic like bowl/plate/etc.

I'm not positive, but these tabs certainly seem to be metal. The "click" when the plates are inserted sounds metallic.

Appear to be. Mine have never rusted or tarnished, not even the end clips. They are definitely metal, not plastic or nylon.

The ones I got were metal, they look great, but I did hear some of them are plastic too... I would call them to make sure..

My understanding is that the drying trays are BPA free. However, I don't know if the unit, itself, is BPA free.

Yes, the little plastic trays are kind of cheap little ones that can be removed as you wish.

I do not believe they are either as they rust if you don't care for them properly.Aluminum does not rust and I don't think stainless steel does either.

yes they are plastic, but not sure about BPA free, I'd contact manufacturer for reassurance on that.It's a REALLY nice kit!

There is no number on this tray and it looks like reg. commercial plastic. I grow sprouts and wheatgrass and I don't think at this time you can find trays bpa free. I would call people at OHI in San Diego or Hippocrates ins in Palm Beach. They would be the first one to know. good luck.

I checked the bottom of the trays, and there's no indication of the typed of plastic. The cubes slip right out of the trays. You might Google "Sterilite" to see if you can find out that way.

The tray is BPA free. They use European standards which are some of the strictest testing that needs to be done.
