Are the attachments really plastic? And is anyone else having issues with the attachments leaving paint in the mixes?

I haven't had that issue as of yet, Patrick, however I've only had the mixer for a couple of months. Yes, they are plastic with a silver coating.

Mine are metal, plastic on the top of the whip only. I have no problem with paint. Have had it for a while and use it 3 to 5 time a week. I feel it was worth the money.

We have had no trouble with the attachments. We have a metal hook, plastic/metal whip and another attachment. All in all this has been a great mixer for us. we have used it extensively and have had no problem!

I never even used it. The attachments are plastic with cheap metal looking paint on them. In my opinion, they would not hold up and I'm not taking a chance on that paint coming off in food I serve my children. I bought a Kitchenaid with all stainless attachments, as all attachments should be. Btw: you can't even buy different attachments because they're not a standard size.

In the past I have tried that and the plastic from model became soft...like the paint was too strong. To be safe I would stick with paint made for models.

The finishes are plastic with the exception of the shafts and moving components. If you are wondering about quality it is definitely there. I like everything about this except the fact that the detachable head (on the hose) come out very easy so if you bump into it, it falls out. Other than that I highly recommend this setup... also, don't forget to but the valve separately (unless you already have one that is compatible in your current shower). Hope this helps!

They're plastic. I loaded it pretty heavily and the only thing that ever failed was the lousy wall attachments it comes with. Replaced them with molly bolts and this thing was great.

They are plastic and it is pretty easy to clean. I just wipe mine out and let it air dry.

My first order was consistent of a plastic material on the external shell. I recently ordered a replacement and it is aluminum with black paint. So I am seriously beginning to wonder myself as well.

The uprights are plastic but in the U part is coated/sleeved with rubber. This is the area your gun rests in. I've cleaned 6 long guns to date with no issues.Hope this helps.

Good question....My 8 year old loves them and plays with them frequently. They're really nice! I don't see any signs of "paint" that has been scratched off, but that's not to say they aren't painted. Painted or not, they have been worth every penny to my daughter who's a huge Sonic fan!! Sorry I couldn't answer your question, but you won't be disappointed either way.

It's all plastic the best I can tell. We have had ours for awhile now and it still looks brand new. No problems than the Jets get a little scale build up. A quick rub of the finger and they clean up.Very happy so far. Hope this helps.

No they are plastic but it's not smooth so the grip was much better. We had wood before and it got gross way to easily

yes they are plastic, but not sure about BPA free, I'd contact manufacturer for reassurance on that.It's a REALLY nice kit!

Just got mine today, they are definitely plastic. My 28 lb sheltie moves them when they are placed on carpet if he's not careful. I'm sure if I duct tape them or stake them they will be fine.

They are plastic. I know my nephew loves it, but if you want more details, ie how durable, etc. just let me know & I'll ask my sister!

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.

Still looking for an answer to this question. Is the sprayer plastic? How durable is it?

My opinion is that they are not. They are plastic and if you were to paint them you would need a paint made specifically for plastic, otherwise the paint will likely peel off.
