Just called Jiffy and the representative said that all the heads on the J-2000i model are metal. Is that correct?

Yes, it is like working out with a light hand weight-I had tons of curtain panels to steam so I skipped my workout. It will never break.

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.

J2 is the older and original style. J2000 is an updated version. The inner parts & boiler are the same in both. The hose and head are the same in both. There are two major differences: The body on the J2 is aluminum whereas on the J2000 is a durable plastic. Thus the J2's shell is more durable, but the J2000 is pretty tough also. It's not like you're going to bang this thing around anyway. The J2 uses an inverted water jug that many people complain about it falling out if bumped. The J2000 has a water tank that sits more securely. Both units steam the same, so get the J2000 - it's an upgraded design. J2 is the older and original style. J2000 is an updated version.

It's metal, but the problem is the screws going into the head come loose constantly so you have to take the head apart to tighten them. If you don't have a hex wrench on you, you're screwed.

Mine is stamped D2, it is the JYD 2.2 now from what I understand the JYD 2 does have an edge made of CPM-D2. The version 2 is about $6 more on Amazon and can be easily distinguished by a circular pattern on the seam between the two metals where the 2.2 has a sawtooth pattern.

Sorry for the long response time, I just looked at it and it seems to be the same "metal" as the old one. I ordered this for my daughter before xmas but managed to find a loose screw in the HDD when I opened it up. It's still working right now so the parts I ordered are kinda just in "limbo" for now. I will update how the install went once I do it. Hope this helps!

If you asking about the metal click, I believe so. My memory is biased by the fact that the wheel arrived as cracked apart. I just tossed it back in the box and shipped it back for refund.

Some parts of the hinges are metal (Outside parts) While the actual mechanism is metal/plastic mix. It should be noted that in the year i have had these they still feel and operate like the day i got them. And as a DJ i absolutely abuse these sometime and they just take it.

I agree with Joe T., with one exception. I do not think the two little hinges on the inside are made of metal. They appear to me to be made of a very sturdy plastic as well.

Yes, it is the model I have; I was disappointed that it is not made of metal like the ones that came with my mixer, but it does work well.

I personally have a 2001 2.5i, aside from the engine difference, I believe the cars are identical on the interior. Not 100%. One mechanic told me that much of the z3 is based on the e36 (3 Series) including the steering wheel, dash instruments, badges, door handles, etc. The only thing I didn't like about the knob was the lack of weight. It would be nice if it was a bit heavier. Otherwise it's a great product.

I think the model I have is plastic parts. I have had no problems with it as yet ( a few months ).

The model I have is all metal as far as I can tell. Still have it hoping to get it repaired. It's a quality product, just don't drop it so the handle pops out. Can't pop it back in and Merkur has no response.

Not sure which parts to look at for you. It looks like metal, but the outer center of the wheel is plastic. Most of the parts are metal.

US subsidiary of Japan-based Brother Industries Ltd. I think they are made in Japan and sold by the US subsidiary. As for metal parts. I'm truly not certain. I don't believe there are many. I know the DZ3000 I have some of the attachments are metal, the post where the attachments mount is metal. Inside like the core, there maybe some, but I really can't answer that one. Sorry.

I don't know, but my wife drew my attention to a plastic part in the head's swivel that I am sorry to see. Not quite the old type I was looking for.
