Is the housing body metal or plastic?

The stand is metal, the external housing is solid plastic. This is very well made. I've had one sitting on my desk running non stop for almost five years. Solid construction and good weight. Output is perfect for desk environment, not very strong, but just enough. Also quiet.

Plastic for the egg shaped parts. The stand is heavy metal wire and the fan blades are fabric.

The inside is plastic, the head itself is metal, it is pretty nice shower head and I like it very much

It is metal. The whole thing is solid design with smooth bearing motion. I have used it with three different size cameras and it is easy to adjust for each.

The housing is plastic. Not sure how cold weather will affect the batteries as I bought it during the summer and cold weather hasn't come yet.

It appears to be plastic....however it feels like it could be metal. Also it is covered with something that feels soft and fuzzy??? Unit is solid and well built.

There are some plastic components but mostly metal. It seems well built and sturdy, much better than I expected for the price.

It is metal and very easy to put together. Very sturdy and my housekeeper loves how easy it moves.

It was all metal housing. I returned it cause it didn't get hot enough. I wouldn't recommend this one ;(

the fan and housing are plastic and the shroud around the pedal assembly. The bike is very well put together and works great for me. I am a post cardiac patient and wanted something at home to work on each day.

its metal, & a very good build quality too. I've had mine for about 2 years now no problems and the finish is great

The housing is plastic but the piece in frontis stainless. I am very happy with this purchase. I keep in on my counter and use it often. It chops food quickly and is easy to clean.

The motor housing is a tough plastic. Just like my original maker and it still works great it's just old. This one looks and works just as well built.

Its a metal housing. After a few months mine did start making more noise, which was too much for an office setting.

Plastic. Seems to be built ok. Battery compartment door seems to be the weakest point. Should be ok as long as you take care with it.

Thanks for your answer. Forgot to ask if the silver version has a plastic or a metal housing? I presume that the chrome version has a metal housing.

It's Plastic. Ours is about two years old and is holding up ok, but it does seem like the weak point of the unit.

Yes Tara it is all metal housing. I don't remember the brand name as it is not on the unit. It was sold by Mix wholesale. Hope this helps.
