is the hose metal or rubber on the outside visible part?

The hose is rubber but the bronze color matches. I really like this, lots of spray settings and pretty. The best thing is the price.

Think it is bronze colored rubber which matches rest of device. Really nice and has held up, we really enjoy ours. You will be pleased with quality and spray patterns.

Appears metal but I'm sure it's plastic. Quality is great and I'm sure you'd be happy with it. I sure am...........

Its a rubberized plastic. The hose is short which works well in my utility sink. I use it when bathing my small dogs. I also like the lever which keeps the water flowing without holding it on. I would recommend sprayer. It doelsn't leak either Hope that helps

The only part that is plastic is the hand held hose head. Everything else is a light weight chromed metal. This is the best $$ value unit out there.

Comes w/hose, It is metal, but has just started to leak, not from main connection point, but from hose joint. Only had installed a few months and now a leak.

The aerator in the pull-down faucet is plastic. The hose seems to be woven stainless. It is flexible, so I suspect there is a rubber-like lining in it. The toggle lever which controls the sprayer is more like rubber than plastic. Our plumber recommended Moen, and we have had had no problems with it and like both its appearance and functionality.

Plastic. It is sturdy enough. However, I had one hose that split. You might want to order an extra hose.

it is.. it sat outside during the winter months and it's still working fine. Its not a heavy duty commercial flex rubber hose.. but for the price point its very worth the money~

Some parts are plastic, some are metal. I would say if you thought about it you could guess what's plastic and what's metal. Hint: the rubber is not metal; not silver, not gold, not iron, not steel, not even copper, or brass, but what about tin? No not that either.

I am not really sure. I think its metal...but its got a plastic feeling...may be coating. My husband thinks its metal. Anyway we love it. BUT it only comes as is. Had to come back to buy hose and mount to hang on. Be careful where you place mount. My husband and I had lengthy discussion about this. He hangs everything too high for me. Settled on a good reach hieght for me and positioned toward outer part of wall with spray facing in. He wanted to put the other way around which would have resulted in water going out on to floor. My husband is very handy but can't replace the womans perspective! I am not really sure. I think its metal...but its got a plastic feeling...may be coating. My husband thinks its metal.

Plastic barb connectors. The metal ones don't adhere to the rubber hose as well and can leak easier.

No the hose outside, you can replace it with regular vaccum hose if the oem hose fail

HI Linda, The shower hose is a heavy duty commercial like plastic hosing. It's thick and has not kinked up once for us since we have been using it. It's nice that its not metal as it prevents rusting. = )Irish Carter

It has metal hose ends. We are happy with this hose, seems to leak less then others we've had.

its plastic, wont corrode or rust, but....I jave never used mine, as kost outside faucets are only a foot off the ground which makes the hose holder way too close to the ground to be able to use it! I was disapointed with purchase.

all of the visible parts are metal, except the button to switch it from spray to stream. I dont remember what it looked like before they installed it.

It is a heavy plastic. Very sturdy. Works best with the Gardens 1/2 inch hose.

Ha! Good question. It looks like I was fooled! I just assumed the exterior of the hose was stainless steel mesh stuff. I just looked at mine and it's probably a non metallic mesh, but looks and feels fine. I had to use a magnifying glass to see that the strands are probably made of a fishing string type looking material. It's probably okay quality for the life of the faucet and I've no reason to doubt it. Inside the mesh appears to be a flexible rubber type hosing. I'll have to put this in my review.As our dear, departed, California Huell would say, "Oh my gosh, that's amaaazing! Do you mean to say . . . . " Ha! Good question. It looks like I was fooled!
