Are all the interior parts metal? Or are they a combination of metal and plastic parts? How does it compare to the regular KitchenAid Artisan 5 qrt?

As far as I can tell, all the parts are metal. However, I have never opened the machine to expose its inner parts. This machine is a bit larger than the regular model. It is ideal if you want to place it under your cabinets because it does not have to tilt up to remove the bowl.

I assume the interior parts, motor and so forth, are metal. The mixer paddle is plastic. The interior of the freezer bowl is metallic to help freeze the product. The ice cream mixture touches the interior of the freezer bowl.

The one I had was plastic. The only thing stainless is the motor. You should check out the Breville.

The base of the inside is metal but the rest of the inside is plastic. We are very pleased with this kettle. It is better in general than the last make of electric kettle we had even though it does not boil as fast.

It is metal inside too....not plastic. Mine is discolored a bit because of hard well water.

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

because of so many reviews of the kitchenaid version being cheap plastic. i ended up wanting to make wheatgrass and had to buy the kitchenaid food grinder anyway to do so with my mixer, big mistake. there are shavings of metal with my wheatgrass. i wish i never bought the kitchenaid food grinder/juicer attachment. I do love and cannot live without my mixer but these attachments are garbage. the ravioli attachment is also garbage. it only stuffs a very small amount of stuffing inside. hope this helps!

Handle is plastic, silver part is metal. Plastic parts inside. I handwash it. Dishwasher would probably degrade inner plastic parts quicker.

No, all of the working parts are metal which is another reason I'm so happy with it. There is a plastic piece in the area where you fill it (you can see the round hole in the center - you slide it around to open. that interior cylinder is plastic. It does not open when you are grinding. Hope this helps.

The inside is plastic and the outside metal. When it is fully filled it is hard to pour without it dribbling. It is very heavy when full. I still like it and use it though.

The bowl is stainless steel inside and out, with a rubberized base. The spinning colander piece is a flexible plastic. The top and spinning mechanism are also plastic, but rigid. This is a very high quality product -- much nicer than our previous OXO salad spinner which was all plastic.

Mostly durable plastic but the strainer part and auger that fits into the mixer is made of metal. I'm very satisfied with this accessory.

The outer layer is some kind of heavy duty plastic the inside is metal. If you keep your mixer in the proper mixing place these last a long time. What happens over time is the mixer starts rubbing against the bowl, there are instructions in your book that leads you to a proper fixing. My mixer is over 30 years old,when we moved i misplaced my dough hook. I gave each of my daughters one as a Christmas gift years ago and they wouldn't be without one and neither would I. This is the dough hook for kneading bread recipes.

All of the parts are plastic with the exception of the main one that grinds the veggies, it's steel. This is a great product and well worth every penny! Very easy and quick to clean.

No, there are no plastic parts on the inside. The handle is the only thing that is plastic. It's the reason I bought this one, I too did not want my coffee touching plastic. You'll be good with this one, get it.

The rotary blades are metal with attached rubber faces. The outer housing is 1/2 metal (in front) and 1/2 plastic in back I believe ... I am not at home to check. This is a light unit and it works very well for me. I am very happy that I bought this!
