Is this mixer metal or plastic?

The mixer appears to be of a hard, heavy plastic. It was so hard to tell, my Mom had to ask my Dad to check. It is definitely sturdy and solid of a heavy weight.

Heavy plastic. It is very sturdy. I doubt you will find a metal mixer under $300-$400.

Yes, it is the model I have; I was disappointed that it is not made of metal like the ones that came with my mixer, but it does work well.

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 description says it's all metal, suggesting the others are not. I was billed for this mixer and it never came so amazon gave me a refund.

It's plastic. So different from other mixes, there is no sediment in the bottom.

The covering to the mixed is all plastic. However the blender shaft and cup are steel.

"You pour your mix into a container which fits into the machine... The machine comes with one" The one that comes with the machine, is it plastic or glass?

Plastic. It's a pretty sturdy measuring cup, that gets a lot of use in my kitchen.

Outside is metal. Inside is the same as any cheap mixer -- plastic gears, and generally quite failure-prone. I opened mine up after it broke, and was disappointed.

Yes, it is plastic. I threw my unit out because the plastic that connects the base to the top broke after 5 uses. It was not worth the money

The bowl is a pretty stainless steel. The lens on the face of it is plastic. The rest is a metal. I love it! It also adds some class to my kitchen!

Metal! This thing isn't playing around. It works great. Used to have to clean out my kitchen aide grinder frequently and end product, while not terrible, wasn't the best. This grinder has yet to bog down in use. Love it!

The blade and the motor are, of course, metal. The rest is plastic. It is very sturdy. We have been using it for about 6 months now for frozen smoothies (very thick ones) and it hasn't let us down. Works like a charm every time.

It is hard to tell at first but with much tapping I think it is plastic. I have used this mixer for a couple of years. The slow start is a huge plus and it sits solidly when not in use.

I believe that it is plastic . Have used it for over a year and it works fine.

Plastic. I've given up on hand mixers. Finally sucked it up and got a stand mixer. Didn't want one because they are so big, (and expensive), but got sick of always having to replace broken hand mixers.
