Is the lid lifting linkage{from the step lever to the lid} all metal or does it have plastic pieces that might break like the one we had by another manufacturer

Two small metal rods that lift the lid and those are surrounded by a thick plastic for appearances. Very sturdy.

It's hard to see all of it from top to bottom, but appears to be all metal. The trash can is very durable and I am glad I picked it over the more expensive brands. My toddler likes to mess with it by pushing down the lid since it has a soft close feature, so I feel over the last 3-4 months we have put more stress on it through her efforts than other customers without children.

The lid lifting is metal with 1 small piece across that is 5 1/2" in width that is plastic, however it appears to just keep metal in proper alignment.

Yes, everything is metal. I have not seen any plastic parts on this machine.

No no bits of metal in or out of can or around when used. THe lid comes off in one piece.

To be honest with you the only thing that is metal is the base, the rest is all plastic. But we had this one before and it really does work great. That's why we orderedit again. The last one we had we had to leave it behind because we sold our home and the new owner wanted it. It's really the only one that holds 10 can's. I think you will like the way it works.

Everything but the handle (plastic) is metal. The slide bar is steel and the miter fence is cast aluminum. Very good quality.

The main part of the handle and extension part is metal. The part that is connected to the head is plastic....it's very sturdy and the handle can be adjusted to just about any length, long or short, that you'd want.

Its plastic. And very weak. The metal only goes into the plastic handle for about 1/2". Mine snapped in half, I just posted a couple of photos.

It's entirely plastic. With the exception of a small closing guide bar that runs along the lid, which is metal. Everything else is hard plastic, pretty durable though.

hello yes the knob on the top of the lid is plastic. The cap on this knob is what conceals the screw.

It is made of metal and quite strong. Very durable. My only complaint is the the lid is not fully hinged. When opening past 90 degrees the top comes off. It's supposed to do this so you can take the top off. I would rather not have the option. It is very strong. And not flimsy.

Hi, the lid I received is solid metal - stainless steel. the handle on the lid is a metal loop.

The gate itself is metal. It does have some plastic coverings and the top slide latch is metal. Where the gate connects together at the top (where the top slide latch is) is one of the plastic coverings. We've had one of our many gates for 3 years and no one has noticed the minimal plastic and we haven't had any issues.

All the parts are stainless steel. We are very pleased with it but the lid is somewhat difficult to remove and replace.

Yes. The lid and strainer that is attached to the lid have plastic parts. The actual pot is 100% metal..

I looked at mine and can't tell. Is a really solid lid with a metal rim. I would recommend it as I dropped it already and it is still in one piece!.

The lever is plastic, there is a soft (silicone?) cover on the stopper but the important thing to know is that the plastic lever breaks after a while, regardless of how careful you are! I just posted a review on this. Mine lasted 10 months.

No, no metal parts. The lid has hinges that you click closed. The entire lid lifts straight off. It may just be mine but the paint dries out quickly. My friend has one and does not have the problem I do. She loves hers! Hope this helps!
