What is the paddle made of? The ad states it is stainless steel but it is not. Very dissappointing & would like to know now.

My paddle is metal,looks like stainless with a non stick coating. Have owned the Lello 4080 for at least 6 yrs, the paddle looks brand new.

The paddle on mine is solid metal, very heavy. It looks like stainless steel. Are you sure you're looking at the paddle for the Lello 4080? (I think some of the smaller machines have a white plastic paddle.) Mine has been in service for years, lots of use, no problems.

I purchased one at the end of the summer and it is all plastic but it's pretty well built. It's a fairly small boat, about the size of a t.v. Remote give or take but it's very quick and a lot of fun. It's also what they call an oval racer so it makes turns one direction much better than the other due to its design. I only mention it because it's frustrating if your expecting an even turn both ways. All in all for the money spent I'm very happy with it. Perfect to mess around in the pool with and it looks great on the shelf!!Good luck!

I think it is stainless steel. Not 100% sure but I asked my husband and he said he thought that's what it's made of.

I too found the coating on the paddles wore off quickly. Unfortunately it didn't completely wear off but instead left frayed edges which make it impossible to remove the paddles without tearing the hell out of the bottom of the bread with all those loose, frayed ends baked into the bread. Their quote for replacement paddles was unreasonable.

It's stainless. I highly recommend this motor. It's plenty powerful and the foot control is awesome.

Nope! But I'm happy with it until now and it looks like that will last longer. Germany product is generally a good value product. Hope you enjoy with this paddle.

It is made of a cheap version of stainless. I have had mine for two months and it is holding up nicely.

It has a stainless steel look and feel to it. But i'm not positive if it is stainless. I would look it up on Hamilton Beach's website.

I'm not sure. it is a silver metal, as the picture shows. It did rust very quickly, so I'm guessing it is steel. Not stainless.

The grip area has a thin synthetic material. The Fred Meyer store chain here is carrying a very similar paddle at this price point now that has nicely insulated foam rubber about 3/16 inch thick. Would be great for temperature and anti-fatigue comfort. Will get brand and model info to add to reply

Yes! I just started this summer as well, and this paddle works just fine. It isn't as fancy as my brother-in-law's more expensive paddle (~$100), but it is similar construction, similar features just not quite as pretty. Works perfectly fine, and very affordable.

We ordered 2 of them. It is the paddle, it seems to be regular unfinished pine wood engraved with the name you provide to them. I got it for my husband and was very specific on how I wanted it, and they did a great job. My husband was pretty happy with the gift. You must contact the seller once you've made the purchase.

What a great question! I was very upset for not researching that before I bought, but I have researched and found it to be Stainless Steel!

The main parts are Stainless Steel. There are 3 small, short 'legs' or 'feet' the hold it up out of the water, those appear to be made of aluminum.

No, it doesn't come with a paddle. I wish I had ordered mine online since they're pricey in the retail stores where I ended up purchasing.

The paddle has a light clear varnish. It would need to be sanded to remove the finish.

I think it is stainless steel. It's very nice & it has held up well for over 8 months of steamy showers. I would recommend & I'm picky about things. I hope this helps.
