is the hose metal or rubber on the outside visible part?

The hose is rubber but the bronze color matches. I really like this, lots of spray settings and pretty. The best thing is the price.

Think it is bronze colored rubber which matches rest of device. Really nice and has held up, we really enjoy ours. You will be pleased with quality and spray patterns.

Appears metal but I'm sure it's plastic. Quality is great and I'm sure you'd be happy with it. I sure am...........

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

It looks like metal covered by transparent plastic, but I'm not certain that it actually is made of metal. In any case, even hoses made of metal on the outside depend on a rubber hose inside. The metal would be wrapped as a helix, and not one piece, and so it is not leakproof. A solid metal hose would be far too rigid.

It is made of plastic. Works good for a fabric type hose, which is why I bought it, but probably wouldn't hold up long for a heavy rubber hose.

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.

The hose is not plastic. It is coiled metal of some sort and easy to clean. LOVE this faucet.

The hose is braided and covered in plastic. I've had it for over a year and the plastic is fading from the morning sun coming in the kitchen window. Other than that the hose doesn't seam to get dirty as it is about 20 to 30 inches from the sink.

Mostly plastic but is wrapped in stainless steel and has a stainless steel hose.

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 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)

No the hose outside, you can replace it with regular vaccum hose if the oem hose fail

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.

It really is hard to tell but because of its light weight I would say its plastic. That being said, I have not had any problems with the shower head or the hose. Please note this is my second unit. The first one is over 3 years old and still working with no problems.

THe ends of the hose that goes to the outdoor facet is metal as is the end that connects to the piece on the outside of the hose hideaway, but the connection at the hideaway and at the reel on my unit are Plastic
