Is this a Chinese manufacture and is it made of metal or of plastic.

Made in Germany. Plastic, but of the highest quality; no flimsy parts. The click-on technology is very tight and works very well with other Gardena components (hose-reel, sprinkler heads, etc.). Worth the higher price, as you will not be replacing these nearly at the rate of the alternatives.

Don't know if it's Chinese. It is entirely plastic - tough, high grade plastic though. We have had ours for 4 years now, using it about once a month in summer, still works perfectly.

To my knowledge Gardena manufactures out of Germany . They used to manufacture some of their products out of France . I have been using my Aquazoom for almost 4 years now with no problems . It has been a solid investment . I hope you have the same success with your yard .

Hello Peter. I do not know who the manufacturer is; the unit is made of plastic. However, I've had two of these units for about a year, used frequently,and they work better than even the metal ones by Gilmore (which have failed). The spray pattern is wider and the adjustments are more flexible. They are worth the extra expense--that is why I now have two and don't use the Gilmores. Just handle them with care.

Mine is German and is made almost entirely of plastic. I'm an old man and I've gone through many sprinklers over the years. This is by far the best and most durable sprinkler I've found.

I no longer have the unit so not sure where it was manufactured.The material it is made from is plastic. Although it appeared to bea better grade of plastic, it will eventuall "dry out" under summersun. Don't let the "German engineered" mislead you; a Benz it is not!

This is made of high quality plastic, made in Germany, Not China! Great Company, Distributes through Canada, has great customer service! I own 2 and will probably never buy a different brand.

The one I have was made in China. It has lasted about a year and still going strong.

It is made in China and the silver part is plastic. It is still well made and keeps the guns away from children. For the price, it is a good value

I am not sure is made from China. Because I got this long time ago and I end up return it back to Amazon.

I am pretty sure it is plastic. They do look like metal and had to take it apart to really tell.

No, sadly it's plastic. They don't make them like they used to. Made in China. :(

It has a white sticker on it that says Pattented China. Nothing engraved in the plastic as to the place of manufacturing.

It is not plastic or china. It is whatever they make standard mugs out of. I hope this helps.

It appears to be metal or a very very heavy grade plastic. So far it has worked very well for me. I'm not disappointed in this purchase.

It is made of plastic, but it's a very durable, thick plastic and I've had no problems with it at all.

It is made of sturdy plastic. I've used it many times and its held up very well. Works great!

The one I got is steel. I'm guessing they started making them out of plastic and switched to steel for obvious reasons.

It's made of plastic and its about 3/4" X 1 3/4". I've previously had one that was made of aluminum, but I haven't been able to find another one.

It appears to be made of some man-made solid material. I assume it is plastic.
