What is the heater made of? Metal or plastic?

It's an all metal heater, oil-filled and it works very well. Seems to be very heavy duty for it's price range.

The control panel (and attached handle) are some type of hard plastic, including the silver rim piece. The wheels are plastic but the wheel mounts are metal. The front "hook" thing that is used to store your cord when not in use is also made of plastic. Everything else; the "fins", the "core" the main body that the control panel is attached to, all are made of metal. I've only had mine for about 3 weeks but I am happy with it, I may even buy another one.

The one I have heat up to 42 F, so plastic is no big problem but not efficient and wasting electricity. I do use metal water tank and works well.

I do not think it's plastic. There is a small sealant around the heating device, but there's no way to know what kind of bonding agents are used.

my best guess is a thermal plastic, very strong and stable ... the only metal parts would be the caster wheel spindles and the center bolt the two pieces swivel on

The walls inside are plastic, just like the outside. But the bottom "floor" which is the heating element is metal. This is the greatest little kettle- it has been a lifesaver for travel.

It's made of Plastic. Stainlless steel warm up the water. It is perfect like it is.

The handle is plastic. The heater coil seems to be stainless steel (It never rusts)

I would think that the interior material is plastic. The top & sides are made of plastic and the bottom is the heating element and it's metal.

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

plastic, and if you use them on a grill and wind blows the wrong way, the heat from the burners will melt them

It is plastic but with a chrome finish. I think the hose part might be metal.

It is not metal inside at all. It's plastic. But whatever I put in it stays the temperature it began with for several hours. I'm thinking no about the portable water heater, but I haven't tried it and like I said the inside is plastic not stainless steel.

It is metal but not sure what, probably a heavy aluminum. It works wonderfully, I just bought a second one for my sister.

There is a metal heater inside but the dispenser lever which keeps breaking is plastic.

This product is plastic. Works great on top rack. The heating element would probably damage it if used on the bottom rack.
