Is this the outside plastic?

Yes the outside is plastic. It resists stains fairly well and is easy to clean. They suggest that you don't immerse the carafe in water when cleaning.

Yes it is plastic but hard plastic. I use it every day. The inside of the thermal is good at keeping this hot. I use it everyday and it holds up to my banging it around. If it were to fall it would break the inside of the thermal. I am blind and I know I can depend on it to be there for me. Good luck on your purchase of the thermal. I would say buy it to anyone who wants one.

Plastic - Yes. Have 4 of these for a year now. On the South side of my house. All still work good.These have been MUCH better than any others I have had.

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

Actually, it is both. The outside is a plastic type material, very sturdy, and the inner "circles" are rubber for grip. This is not a cheaply made product even though it is made of a plastic material. It is not the brittle kind of plastic that won't hold up.

No, metal in the house and plastic towards outside, which is good considering storms and possibility of lightning strike. I never really noticed until you asked question. Casing is also plastic.

It certainly appears to be. It's very sturdy and there are no apparent plastic parts visible.

Yes its plastic. No paper and not (as far as I can tell) recycleable in any way or form.

No, thin plastic. In fact I first set it up on concrete and that was a mistake. I corrected this with a layer of old beach towels underneath.

No it is plastic. It has worked great for my application. No problem with having to repaint it as was the case with the wooded one it replaced.

No it was plastic, but mine has been great ever since we put it in. Good luck

Yes, it appears so. Look at the second picture available in the listing-- it shows what the "outside packing" looks like. That's the packaging that it came in when I bought it. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81XrTGdhLiL._SL1500_.jpg

It seems to be made of heavy plastic but don't know whether it can be used outdoors. I have been very satisfied with this product.

Yes it is plastic. Size is not too big but not too small either. But it is deep.

Yes, it is plastic, but very durable plastic. I have had three on them because I seem to manage to drop them or knock them over and the inside shatters. No fault of the product. I just read the previous answer and I believe it is incorrect. That person seems to be talking about the inside liner not the outside.

yes unfortunately it is plastic. It does seem durable and I've had no problems with it for the 6 or so months I've had it.

I believe it is some sort of recycled plastic. It stood up well to both sun and rain this past summer, and so far has stood up well to snow, though we've not had much of that.
