Does it have any plastic parts in the areas where fruit / veg can come in contact with? Or are these parts all metal? Thnks in Adv.

All of the internal pieces that do the work are metal (with some metal-based mesh). The only plastic piece is "smoothie" attachment, which I've, honestly, never used - as I'm a much bigger fan of just plain and simple fresh-pressed juice. But I love this machine. It's durable. Clean up is quick and easy. And the juice that gets extracted is so tasty! I highly recommend this product.

None of the parts that have plastic on them are metal (this is not like the mixing attachments if that's what you mean). There are plastic pieces (in the picture, everything white), but there are also metal parts which appear to be stainless steel. I used mine a couple of weeks ago to make applesauce from 160 lbs of apples and everything held up fabulously, and cleaned up easily.

As far as I can tell, there are no plastic parts. The back pieces slide on metal, also. It's very sturdy.

No parts are aluminum. The strainer and the top that squeezes the fruit are stainless steel. The rest is cast iron. You must hold onto the back because, even though it's very heavy, it tips forward when you pull the handle down. Otherwise, it worked very good for the 100+ lemons I had picked from our daughters tree!

It is mostly plastic. I wasn't very impressed. The only metal part was the dump bed. My grandson still loves it though and I guess that is all that matters.

No plastic parts are visible, I seriously doubt any are contained, I have 3 of these - they are beautifully and we'll designed, durable and heavy. They keep my wife's tea hot down to warm over 24 hours. But remember to fill it with the hottest tap water you have and let it absorb the hear for 20 secs to a minute if you want to keep it hot for a long period of time! It absolutely does, and you won't regret the purchase! Good luck!

a metal bowl works fine...i just use plastic one. The blade is sharp but has not damaged the plastic any. I prefer using bowl because it keeps all the lettuce together and you dont have to handle it as much

Nope it's all metal - the clear lid part is plastic I guess but I don't think there's a way for the mice to chew through that part - at least mine didn't even try!

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

Don't know exact plastic but agree with the other two replies about durability. I've been using the same parts from Gardena for over 30 years-I also have had to replace only the O-rings

The components are formed using a composite material of some sort-plastics no-dought. We have used ours-we have 10-for several years. They are tough and don't seem to be disturbed by the weather. We own about 10 acres and will NEVER grow our vegetables any other way again. We have a specific way we do it Would be happy to share at the request. Good day!

The top and bottom are both metal. There is a plastic piece on the underside of the bottom that is removable for cleaning. I only use mixed seed in mine. I have had mine for about 3 years now and there are still in good shape.

Yes, the Breville is all plastic. From the tube where you insert the vegetables, the round part that cuts everything up, the tube that the juice comes out of and the container that it goes in is all plastic.

No, there is no plastic that is in contact with food. It is not the best immersion blender I have had, but in most cases it is adequate. My favorite was the Ninja, but did not see that on Amazon when I needed to replace it.

I would tell you to contact Learning Resources because I have no idea. The fruit pieces are soft and rubbery and the pie plate and cover are hard plastic.

No - it's all plastic parts. It's really not very sturdy at all and does NOT meet expectations. :-(

Sorry to be so slow...I've been out of town. I'm not sure about plastic or not but it is beautiful and works well. I am very happy. Judy
