What is this machine made from? Other vendors describe thte 18750 as aluminum die-cast "heavy duty."

It is exactly like the Models that have 50-60 stitches. it just has Hello Kitty on it. I bought this for my Grand Daughter and I have used it also. It works great.

Lots of plastic. Not really a commercial machine. More of a big home model. Made in China, of course.

The heating block is sealed, but it seems to be made from cast aluminum, not machined steel. What else can you expect at this price? Breville guarantees their pump and heater unit basically forever. I am pretty sure that other parts of the machine will wear out / corrode before the boiler does.

It has some plastic parts. You may wish to google " SINGER 4423 Heavy Duty, plastic parts" Or " SINGER 4423 Heavy Duty Reviews" to find out more. I sew daily on this machine for years and am very happy with its performance.

The "box" says Made in China. Maybe just the box(?), because I have had no problems with this machine. It is made of a very heavy, sturdy metal. Not something "cheaply" made. Our grandchildren use it with ease - 7 & 10. I would buy this product again.

As an owner of the SM-55, I can tell you that it's made in China. I believe that the body is made of aluminum. The accessory power port (the primary port) is connected to the motor by a rubber belt. Despite Cooks Illustrated rating, this machine can break - several people, including myself, have reported issues with dough hooks getting stuck in the accessory power port. Repairs and parts must be obtained by sending the SM-55 back to Cuisinart, and that's not cheap. Kitchenaids apparently break, too, but can be repaired locally.

It seems to be cast aluminum. Its's a great table. Looks like the real one.

Not sure but it's not aluminum. It's heavy, not sure about the warranty. But for the price it's worked really well. I've stripped about 40 pounds of copper so far. No problems.

I'm not sure what the spec is on it, but it's pretty light. I'm assuming it to be made of aluminum.

Not sure if your asking where was it made or what it's made of? The company is based in Pennsylvania in the U.S.; but I assume it's made overseas. The material it's made from is a patented aluminum composite, rather heavy. Hope this helps.

It looks like heavy duty aluminum to me. I have no idea why some people received a black one. Mine was silver in color as shown.

I believe it is aluminum but not sure. I have had no problems with mine and use it a lot.

It's made of aluminium...I thought it was wrought iron when I purchased it.

I think it is made of die-cast zink alloy like the rest of the tool. Only the post is made of steel. Very light, it is not stable at all. I do not recommend it.

Incredible machine! unless you weld lots of aluminum where you need the fine tune settings of the Miller 211, don't spend the extra cash. Not worth it. The Hobart will do the job

My guesses are the outer body is heavily enameled aluminum while the drive shaft and the cutting cones are carbon steel because they are magnetic. The steel, though, is coated with an anti-rust preservative similar to galvanizing.

It's been a while since I bought it. I returned it because it was junk. The base was a cast material- probably aluminum, but possibly steel.
