What is the beater made of? The blade is flexible but is the main part plastic or metal like the original blade?

The main part is made of plastic with rubber on the edges. I have been using mine for about 2 years and have had no problems. I love it.

The material around the blade is metal where as the other is plastic. Our older plastic model failed around the area where it stops the blade from spinning around

But that was the metal part, the blade. as for the plastic part,I didn't have any problem with it at all.

Plastic and the blade is metal. But the stickers on the plastic will fall off. I've had it since Christmas and I've had to use clear nail polish to keep it on.

The whisk is stainless steel but I believe the blade is metal. It's not a great product, like I said in my review, it's too difficult to clean.

The handle is plastic, but the crank arm is metal. The retaining mechanism for the grinding wheels have some plastic components, but overall are of excellent quality. If you are worried about wear and tear, there are some inexpensive replacement parts on offer from the manufacturer.

Not sure if the glass and blade are original parts. The glass is sturdy and nice and very similar to the old one I had. The black plastic top is cheap and definitely not like the original rubber one. It doesn't fit the top of the glass very well. I was stupid to throw the old top away with the broken glass.

The metal blade cuts while the plastic blends. The plastic dough blade is very sturdy, strong not flexible. Even though the blades are shorter than the cutting steel blades they do the job of blending the mixture be it breads, icings or puddings. I have two dough blades. I switch between them rather than cleaning one all the time. When I bake I make many different things and then freeze them so I find having two blades comes in very handy. I use the plastic dough blade because, unlike the metal blade, it locks in the right amount of air.

It's a flexiable plastic. I choose this product because it's small and neat. I like to clean my counter tops at night. It's easy to put away until the next use. I do not remember where this product was made. I like it and it was price reasonable for what I needed. I hope this helps you on your decision.

It's plastic! I live smack in the middle of Florida, and it's held up VERY well in the humidity. I do blow out the housing of the motor about once a month with compressed air, though, to keep moisture and dust out. Also, the front comes of easily to wipe down the blades. Good luck!

The rotary blades are metal with attached rubber faces. The outer housing is 1/2 metal (in front) and 1/2 plastic in back I believe ... I am not at home to check. This is a light unit and it works very well for me. I am very happy that I bought this!

Metal. This is the best blender I have ever owned! No problems what so ever!

The blades are plastic. This 16" fan works very well - the best fan I have, actually.

It seems to be metal to me. Its heavy for its size and the paint does not chip easily as if sprayed on plastic. I try to keep with metal items more so than plastic. I'm still using my blender from 1969 with a metal body and glass container, not plastic. My mixer is a Hamilton Beach 1948 Model G, all metal again. Can't beat metal.

The blade is metal and the rest of the slicer is made of a very thick plastic.

Partially it is steel but a large part is also plastic which needs to put on the cutting device properly or won't work. This I'm reading is quiet is for other models as this one has a more powerful motor to do the job.
