is this a die cast mixer, or plastic?

Another good question I'd like the answer to as well. Found a website that reviews stand mixers and their information on this mixer states: "The mixer is built with a die cast metal which is strong and durable compared to plastic housing stand mixers."

Yes it is. The gears are metal as opposed to plastic gears in the KitchenAid mixer.

Pry bars are plastic and the drivers are metallic. Great combo for fixing any small electronics.

I haven't had that issue as of yet, Patrick, however I've only had the mixer for a couple of months. Yes, they are plastic with a silver coating.

It is a type of plastic. You would have to contact Nordic Ware to find out the composition. I've used mine for may years and don't feel there's a problem.

The one I had was plastic. The only thing stainless is the motor. You should check out the Breville.

I believe they are plastic. All I know is they are good. the handy handle makes work easy. There are no measurements on them, so you must pour the correct amount in to be mixed.

It's plastic but it's a thick plastic. Not thin and brittle. I love this injector.

Plastic...Polyurethane. These are solid dice, and worth the value. The only caution is that with the beautiful and intricate design the "20" can be a little hard to read

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

Plastic, but it is constructed well. I use it to dispense turbine to sugar for coffee and have been satisfied with this product.

Yes, it's plastic. I've had two for several months with no reliability issues.

It is die cast metal, very sturdy. And comes with a nice padded carrying case.

The base is plastic with a chrome finish. I will say that although I was disappointed at first, this is an amazingly tough little machine. I am so glad I purchased it!!

It's plastic. I use the chopper to make wet spice pastes. It is easy to use and clean. I wish it had a small hole in the top to drip oil into so I could make mayonnaise

The stand seems covered plastic. The cup and little mixer thing is metal. We really enjoy this product.

The machine itself is housed in all plastic. The cup is metal as is the stick part of the mixer piece.
