It is chromed metal, just like the original. The best, unless you find one cheap at a flea market or yard sale.

It is NOT plastic. Whether it's chrome or another kind of metal, I don't know, but it is metal and quite sturdy.

the oster beehive comes in chrome or brushed metal, both blenders are metal.The chrome will wear with age which is good or bad depending on your aesthetic.Not sure? Get the brushed stainless.

The base is metal, the blade pin that rotates the blades is metal, the part that sits on top of the base is plastic, i dont think this part would break unless it was dropped from counter and directly hit, i just ground up a full container of ice for my margaritas with no problem, this is no doubt the best blender for the price, much better than my old 100.00 kitchen aid.

No it isn't. It is the newer, safer form of "Plastic" -- I honestly can't rcall the proper term. This blender is a real workhourse. I use it nearly every day. The "smoothie" setting is great. The base isn't removeable but it cleans beautifully with my spray attachment. This was a good purchase for me.

The drive sprocket on the blender base is hard rubber--I haven't cut into it to see if it's a rubber coated metal drive gear, but it seems pretty solid. The jar has a metal gear and entire blade assembly is all metal except for a rubber sealing gasket. The drive system seems pretty substantial; I would expect it to last a long time.

Mine is clear glass and chrome-like substance but it could be a shiny chrome-like plastic. This part seems to hold up okay.

I don't see any H on mine. In the bottom there seems to be like a line of W's under Oster. I am going to try and post a picture on my review of the top of the blender.

Blades sit on a "domed" piece that is some type of material, feels more rubbery. There are plastic parts on the underside where the motor engages. Looks very similar to the mechanisms on all blenders but Oster (they use metal).

They are a hard plastic. Been using for a few months and seem to be pretty decent quality. The blender still rocks!

i'm sorry, we purchased our hand blender ages ago, probably at Williams Sonoma. I don't know what the hb-155pc really looks like.

I believe the base is plastic. Its hard to tell its difference from glass. I am pleased with quality this shaker and bought it becuase of the spout, which is a handy feature.

It looks like chrome but it is plastic. The only metal is on the bracket that holds the flash. However, it is good quality plastic. although pricey, I love these speed boxes.

I don't believe the shell of the mixer is metal, I think it's a super hard plastic, but I know for sure the cup is metal. It works great and looks great also!

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 exterior of the milk frother is metal; Kind of a chrome finish. The coffee maker has a plastic exterior.

it is hard plastic, very durable. I accidently dropped one and shattered the globe but the base was still fully functionable. I think the quality is high enough that it does look like metal

It is chrome-colored. It is plastic, but I think it is well made. It doesn't matter so much that it is plastic because you aren't weighing anything heavy enough to break it. It works really well, and is super easy to use. I use mine at least once a day!

It's plastic. It has a chrome look finish but all plastic. I like it a lot. I have had several Hansgrohe products and they were always good.

The head and baseplate are metal. The handle is plastic. I've worked with a few fluid heads and I find this excellent value for price.
