Is the hose metal or plastic?

it is metal. the shower head is turnable on the cord but the cord stays stiff. Took a couple months and now it is more pliable - and I like it a lot.

Not a materials expert but the outside ribbing appears to be metal. It holds the same finish as the rest of the hardware and so far has been resistant and easy to clean.

Metal hose, it's very nice and has strong current of water, with pause mode and different water settings

I believe that it was made of plastic. This expandable hose lasted only 1 and a half month. The company should have reimbursed my money. But I was left with a broken hose in my hands. I am very disappointed and disillusioned.

The connection of wand to hose is metal, and the wand itself is aluminum. The nozzle (where the water comes out) is plastic, but not sure why that would break except for damage caused by impact (ie. if the wand were dropped on its nozzle).

It really is hard to tell but because of its light weight I would say its plastic. That being said, I have not had any problems with the shower head or the hose. Please note this is my second unit. The first one is over 3 years old and still working with no problems.

It looks like stainless steel but I'm pretty sure it is plastic. I have not had a problem with leaking.

The end of the hose that attaches to it is metal but the connection on the unit itself is plastic like everything else. I have had mine a little over two yearsand the plastic reel inside the unit has deteriorated and broken just from thestress of winding the hose on it. I had originally given it a two star rating butnow I would change to one star.

It's some sort of plastic and aluminum I think. My garden is organic but I don't try for certification but I can't see where it would be much different than a hose as far as non toxic goes. You have to adjust the strength of the spray at the faucet and one of the four I bought started leaking badly after a few months. About average quality for this type of product

The hoses are a black braided material, don't know if it is stainless covered by plastic. These hoses are also quite short in length, I had to add extension hoses to reach shut off valves.

It does not appear to be plastic to me. It feels like metal. The inside, where the holes for the water to spray from, is most likely plastic. It looks great and works well.

It is metal but I could not install it when it arrived. I would probably choose another shower head.

Good evening. The hose is made out of ABS plastic, the same material garden hoses are made out of, just food grade.

Depends what model you get. Mine is a metal hose but as I recall it cost a bit more than the plastic hose model.

Metal, the cylinder is made of plastic. Appears to be fairly sound. We use this every weekend since the purchase.Absolutely love the set.

It is plastic. I bought 2 so I would have a spare when the connector on the shower head broke as my previous one did.

One would think for the price of this, it would all be metal. Unlike what someone else said, the gears/wheels are not metal; they are plastic with a rubber belt turning it. The item the hose winds around is metal. The item which slides back and forth to apply the hose evenly across the reel is plastic too; but, it does slide on the metal frame. The biggie for me is the "handle is metal"; this is the part I have always had rip off when I had plastic handles on previous junk. Thus far, this item is working very smoothly.
