Does this machine have a metal or plastic chassis?

the outside have some plastic but all internal parts are metal..I am very happy with this machine I did a large upholstery job in heavy vinyl it did not miss a stitch and went through several layers easily

The inside is felt, so there is no metal contacting the surface of the machine. I have had no issues with scratches.

it is plastic, but the base frame and the lift mechanism is metal. The inside trim is also plastic.

The wheels inside are metal. The bar that holds the feeding mechanism is also metal but covered with robber. The only plastic part is the front piece that you see in the picture where the hose feeds through. We have had this hose reel for 2-3 years & have had no problems.

Sorry, don't recall... I returned the unit because of poor machining, metal burs around the hole edges and metal chips in the machine's internals.

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.

There are metal. It's the best mixer I've ever owned. I use for bread & pasta making.

Yes, wheel and enclosure are plastic. The power wheel worked poorly for me as the generator seemed to be damaged/bent and didn't run smoothly.

I have never owned a plastic one so I can't answer that question . Sorry but it is a very food machine.

Mine has a built in metal handle, no plastic. Don't know if they've changed the design since I bought it....

Plastic. It may have some metal hardware on the inside but it's all plastic. So is the original equipment grille.

The housing at the bottom (suction) end is plastic, the tube is metal, as is the actual motor casing. Its' a dandy sump-pump - much quieter than the old one, and a good buy for the money

The impeller is metal. The vacuum we received had an issue where the machine screws that held together the case around the impeller prevented the impeller from rotating. We were able to easily address this problem, but anyone buying this should be wary of the possibility of that problem.

It's all plastic, so not too heavy. Great motor and suction but the points where all the parts connect are cheap and flimsy. I've had almost every connection of wands, nozzles and the power carpet attachment break. What should have been a great machine is rendered useless by cheap parts.

No metal parts. Machine is not worth a crap! I bought two and neither worked.

It has very durable steel gears and blades, there is hardly any plastic in this machine. It is VERY powerful and plastic would not hold up to the HP it puts out!!

I am not home right now to verify. However, I believe its metal internals covered with plastic.
