What material is the chute and stem made out of? Is it plastic or metal? I assume the body/motor cover is metal. How about the rest?

My Champion juicer has a hard plastic chute and stem. I have had one for 30 yrs. I have no health problems with it being made of the that material. In fact it has been a real pleasure to operate ! I know of no other juicer that could juice 25 lbs. of carrots in a single setting and not fail ! The juice does not sit in the chute or stem very long and has no taste of being affected by the plastic. I highly recommend it to my adult children. I love both of my champions. It is the best on the market to me.

It is NOT plastic, it is 100% Dupont Nylon; and Champion has used Nylon for as long as I can remember.

One would think for the price of this, it would all be metal. Unlike what someone else said, the gears/wheels are not metal; they are plastic with a rubber belt turning it. The item the hose winds around is metal. The item which slides back and forth to apply the hose evenly across the reel is plastic too; but, it does slide on the metal frame. The biggie for me is the "handle is metal"; this is the part I have always had rip off when I had plastic handles on previous junk. Thus far, this item is working very smoothly.

Not exactly sure what you're asking. The stock is some kind of "plastic" material but the barrel and mechanisms are metal. Works fine for my need which has been chasing off noisy crows.

I would say it is a composite of metal and plastic. It is a real quality unit with the engine and coal tender quite substantial. and great detail on all the parts. Definitely a good unit. The remote control and built in sounds make it a real pleasure to operate.

Yep. Plastic. I have had two of them. They are rugged enough for what they are meant for. However. Do not leave them out with water in them if you get below freezing temps as that will mean you will need to buy a second one as well. :).

No, its plastic. The slide is made of a light metal, the trigger and hammer also. Everything else is plastic.

Metal....aircraft grade aluminum. I think it is better than the plastic one.

Its made out of brass and nickel I believe.... No plastic what so ever except the pads on the valve keys...

I think it's all plastic. It's pretty cool if you can deal with the occasional leaking around where the base meets the body. I like mine.

Gee I gave it to my grandson, but I think it is metal. That's what surprised me, was so much of it is metal. The wheels of course are plastic, but it seemed to be made quite well, and my grandson (3 yrs. old) is rough on his toys!!

Metal. Took the tip of my finger off when I touched it (yes, I reached into the chute).

I am pretty sure it is metal, we have it on a platform in our woods and secured wit bungees and some PVC pipe, it is an awesome thing. My husband thinks it would be too flimsy to take up and down a lot but for our purposes it is fine.

Don't know the exact material, but it is a pretty rigid plastic. I have mine mounted on a board and it works great.

It is made out of plastic. The only metal parts are the crank and the disks. All of the gears are also made of plastic. The one I purchased worked fine for a few times, but then one of my children cranked too hard and stripped the plastic gears.

The "body" is metal. The green is a molded cushioned material over the metal body. The red is plastic and the lever is a heavy duty plastic. I have two of these and my wife, the gardener, loves them.

The swash plate material is plastic,the only metal is the brass fisheye. Only the main shaft is carbon.
