Is it plastic or metal construction? Thx

It is constructed of heavy plastic with a rough surface so the dogs don't slide.

It's metal. I have used them for several months and no problems at all. I really like the quality of them. I have two.

It is not plastic, it is metal. But I would not recommend it anyway. The metal main body cracked on me. I do not know why - I did not overload it at all. I just noticed once that there was a crack there. It is still usable, but I will buy another.

It is plastic, however it looks very similar to metal when it is installed.

Everything appears to be metal. I was cautious about plastic units breaking, which is why I went with this one. So far, it has held up really well, and is very sturdy (and heavy). I could probably use it as a weapon in a pinch. :)

No- its plastic. I was very disappointed in the quality and returned it.Good luck!

The entire structure is metal. It's been in my mini garden outside all summer and has held up well.

It is plastic but looks like metal. Can't really tell it's plastic by looking at it.

Metal. I bought three of them, with two of them purchased after I bought the first one. They aren't as sturdy as the heavy duty ones (like you might use in a garage), but for the money and purpose, they do the trick. If I needed another, I would buy again.

It was actually metal. I was surprised when I received it. I figured it would be plastic for the price. Only draw back is shipping. Took close to a month to receive due to being shipped from overseas.

It's metal. This thing is pretty sturdy. been using it non stop for a few weeks and i have yet to have issues with it.

Plastic....I had 2 and both had the plastic around a wheel break. Unless they have changed the construction, I would not recommend it.

plastic. the quality is not amazing. i have the impression it won't stand a fall without cracking, but oh well...for the price, it is good. :) i don't have any complaints about it and i have had it and used it a lot for a while now :)

it's definitely all steel construction! there are just a few plastic parts: the power swiches, and the door handle, and the cooling fan. we distill our water into the glass jar so there is never any contact of water with plastic.

It's all plastic (PVC, I believe). It's pretty lightweight, sturdy, and solidly constructed!

It is pretty heavy, I do not think it is plastic. I checked it before the installation, I saw metal inside (copper or brass).

The one I have is plastic. I am very pleased with the item. It doesn't feel "cheaply made". I would recommend. It works great for me.
