Are you saying your whole unit is made of plastic?
Yes. Absolutely, 100%. It's plastic. I haven't seen one that
isn't plastic (here in the UK).
I think the chromed bit that runs around the middle may be metal (but the chroming on it isn't that special) but the back, front and buttons are most definitely plastic.
