Is the entire unit that comes in contact with food stainless steel? Is the chopper bowl glass or plastic?

My wife uses this product regularly. Looking at it, the lower portion of the blender (the part that comes in contact is steel (stainless, it would appear) except for the outer circumference of the rim which has a molded plastic edge piece where it would come into contact with a bowl or glass during blending. The chopping bowl is plastic and has the recycling triangle on the bottom that says "7" and "SAN" and has a picture of a fork on it -perhaps indicating that it is "safe".

The shaft that holds the blade APPEARS to be stainless steel, but could be one of the imitation materials. A narrow band of black plastic surrounds the bottom of the shaft near the blade. The chopping bowl and blending jug are both plastic. I could find no information in the manual regarding the type or "greenness" of the plastic. Try www.breville.com?

Well, as you now know, the blender jar is made of glass whereas the food processor vessel is plastic. The food processor's plastic is not quite as thick as the plastic of which my full-sized food processor's bowl is made.

It is glass, not stainless steel. Little plastic cover. Works fine. Easy to clean.

The lid has no plastic. It is stainless steel. No food touches any plastic.

It's plastic. I use the chopper to make wet spice pastes. It is easy to use and clean. I wish it had a small hole in the top to drip oil into so I could make mayonnaise

It's plastic! I was not happy with it all! I ended up getting one where the pot is stainless steel & am much happier!

The lid is made of plastic that in my experience tolerates repeated microwaving very well. I have high regards for this bowl combination.

The paddle is plastic, I am not sure if the bowl is stainless steel, but it is definitely metal. The paddle is fairly durable though, I have used my machine regularly for 4 years without an issue.

It is plastic. "OXO" says it is dishwasher safe, top shelf. Microwave safe except for heating oils.

The body of the machine is stainless steel/ The only part that isn't is the lid that covers the work bowl area, which is made of plastic. I've owned this machine for years now and have never had any problems with it. This is built like a tank. Excellent quality for sure.

It is Stainless steel the only plastic on it is the little window and the handle. It is a hard plastic of a type that I would not think had BPA.

No idea. There are no markings on the bowl. I only use mine for fresh food, nothing heated, so not sure where the concern would be. The bowl is heavy plastic and I use mine daily and there are no cuts from the chopper wheels. I understand your concern, but not sure it would be an issue with this product. I love everything about it.

The metal parts are aluminum but they do not come in contact with the food being juiced, the part that comes in contact with the food is a hard non-BPA plastic, very durable and will not leach anything into the juice.

It is stainless steel. The only part that is not is the knob, which doesn't come in contact with the food.
