Amazon.com Review
Fresh ground sausages, pates, meats for chili, and fish for soups can all be prepared at home with this professional quality meat grinder. Solid and sturdy, the beautiful brushed stainless-steel housing should last a lifetime. An extra-large, die-cast hopper holds a generous amount of cubed or sliced meat, which is then fed into the grinder tube with a long plastic pusher. Three metal cutting plates are included: fine, for spreads, pates, hamburger, and baby food; medium, for soup-related textures; and coarse, for ground meat used in chili. Fish and vegetables can also be ground with the appliance. Stored inside the pusher are two sausage attachments, which allow meats and spices to be combined for thin or plump sausages (recipes for Cajun, Italian, venison and other sausages are included in the user guide). Covered by a five-year warranty, the 450-watt motor works effortlessly and operates with a simple on/off/reverse switch. With the hopper attached, the grinder measures 10 by 13-1/4 by 8 inches. All parts should be washed by hand. --Ann Bieri

It Grinds Meat July 2, 2008
This meat grinder is easy to assemble and does a good job grinding meat. I have only used it for beef to make burgers - about 8 burgers at a time. It cleans relatively easy, especially if you run saltines through it at the end of your grind. I got that tip from another review.

The grinding plate and the blade can apparently rust, but I haven't had a problem with that yet, though I have cleaned them meticulously, oiled them and stored them in wax paper. When I first unpacked them, they smelled like elementary school art class. I don't think it would make you sick, but I gave all of the components a really good wash before I started grinding.

To the important part - are the burgers better? I would vote yes. If you use a nice cut of sirloin, the burgers are amazing. Plus, I feel safer about cooking them medium rare, or rare. You can also grind sweet onions into the beef which ads a lot of flavor. I have been smoking my burgers for 30 minutes at 180* using mesquite on my Traeger grill and then cooking at a high heat on a Weber grill. Perfection.

Meat grinder excellent June 29, 2008
I have used this meat grinder several times now and really like it. I was a little intimidated by it but it is easy to set up, simple to clean and works like a dream.I have used it for chicken, beef, and pork and even used it to mix various sausages with the meat I was grinding. It also ground the onions, peppers and spices I was adding to the meats for meatloaf without a problem. I agree with the recommendation to use a slice of bread occasionally to help clean the machine out. I am allergic to wheat , so I tried a little oatmeal and an apple which worked just fine. Neither is necessary, though. The machine comes apart readily, and cleans quickly and easily. I love it! (Now if only I can convince my cats that they should be eating real meat instead of kitty kibble)!

Worth the cost. March 7, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I went thru 3 Kitchen Aid grinder attachments and finally gave up on that. Did some research and this one seemed to be a good bet. I have been using it for 3 years now, mostly grinding chuck and round roasts for burgers. It does a fine job. Motor is plenty strong and feeds well, rarely needing to use the plunger. Watch cleaning it up, there are a few crevasses around and on the "feeder". I didn't notice them for a couple of times and had to use a tooth pick and an ice pick to get it clean (fortunately we didn't get sick). If you wash it in hot water and soap as soon as you're done, it cleans up good. The detachable base does not get soiled. All in all, I would definately but it again.

Living up to expectation January 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

So far this product is living up to expectations. I use the grinder primarily for preparing raw meals for dogs, but will be trying my hand with sausage pretty soon.

I don't process chicken fat or skin in this grinder, so I can't comment on clogs. I haven't had any problems with beef (no bones) or chicken (with bones). No jams, clogs, or slowdowns. I'd love a wider hopper, but I imagine that only comes with much more powerful, commercial high-use machines.

The balance of this machine seems fine, and the noise is much less than I anticipated after reading other reviews.

Cleanup is easy; I had more problems getting the plate cap off, even with the tightening/loosening tool that comes with the machine. The good-quality blade and plates can rust, so storing them in olive oil immediately after drying takes care of that easily and quickly. If you've ever owned cast iron or carbon, you'll already be familiar with this.

So, on this New Year Day, as I get up late and get ready to hang out and have fun with loved ones, I'm tellin' ya, this grinder works well and I'm looking forward to having fun with it. Plus, it's shiny!

Happy New Year, everyone.
