it is made from plastic or coated metal?

Mostly durable plastic but the strainer part and auger that fits into the mixer is made of metal. I'm very satisfied with this accessory.

The unit itself is plastic - it seems very durable - I've been using mine for about a year and a half now and been very happy with it.

Plastic housing, but the grinder/sieve is made of metal. I was extremely satisfied with the produce as shipped, but it does need the larger food tray as suggested by myself and others if you plan on processing very much food.

None of the parts that have plastic on them are metal (this is not like the mixing attachments if that's what you mean). There are plastic pieces (in the picture, everything white), but there are also metal parts which appear to be stainless steel. I used mine a couple of weeks ago to make applesauce from 160 lbs of apples and everything held up fabulously, and cleaned up easily.

I think it is a heavy duty nylon (tough stuff) with a heavy duty metal and brass connection where it connects to mixer. Anyway, it is not flimsy stuff and has taken my abuse for at least 6 years and is still looking like new. I'd recommend it. I do a large batch of applesauce each year, about a bushel of apples, plus many other things including grinding meat. I use it a lot. Hasn't failed me.Order the extension tray too if you are doing quantities of things. Avoids having things fall off of feeder tray.

It is made of a very sturdy plastic. The auger is made of metal. I love mine! I use it often and it works great!

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.

It's a coated metal. We kept them out all summer with no problems! We've brought them in now for our harsh MN winters. Love them! We have 6 of them!

It is plastic, however it looks very similar to metal when it is installed.

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

It's made of plastic, but very clear. I mounted it on the garage door so I could see to clear my wife's car when parking my truck. works very well!

I think it's plastic. It's been great for us so far, but we've only had it installed for 6mo. So far, so good and handsome too

I checked. I don't see anything that is made of plastic. It appears that all is metal/stainless steel. Housing and fan for sure. Not 100% sure if there may be some wiring that is coated but that must be hidden and that's just the way it has to be. Also nuts and bolts look like full metal. We have the metal grid racks.

Metal & plastic. I still have it after a year or so. It seems to make that room a couple of degrees warmer and that seems to do the job.

It is made of plastic, but it's a very durable, thick plastic and I've had no problems with it at all.

it is made of plastic. i don't know if is a good plastic but i don't reccomend this one. i returned it. too much little things attached and it looked difficult to use and parts would be lost very soon.

It seems to be metal to me (feels like it, pings when tapped with a pen, gets cold, etc). I can't say, for sure, that it isn't super heavy duty plastic that is coated but it definitely seems like metal.

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.

More of a flexible plastic coating. I use it to lock my helmet on my handlebars. It does the job.

I believe that it is plastic . Have used it for over a year and it works fine.
