Fast , good power , easy to clean, I used it to grind Chickpeas to make falafel, after soaked in water for 24 hours to , and chickpeas still hard , harder than meat and the machine works great . Even it’s small size but works better than others bigger machines , I love it.

Easy to use, great for any meats or vegetables that you want to grind and its severe its purpose, very quickly and quite. Didn't jam or get clogged at all. It has a long enough power cord, it's beautiful design matched my kitchen and it's not noise maker

I was very pleased with the fast grinding of pounds of pork and beef. It is more than worth the money.

First off, I was pleasantly surprised how well this grinder did. I bought this just prior to hunting season with the hopes that I would have some venison to grind. Sure enough, I had some to grind last night. The first batch is double ground and ready to be finished, I’ll have more to do tonight.Things I like about this grinder-It’s relatively small, so kitchen storage is easier. The throat is deep, so getting a finger down to the auger is not likely. On board storage of extra grinding plates is super helpful. It never bound or hardly hesitated, even with sinew still attached to the meat.Things I don’t really care for-It is loud, but I suspect that most at this price point will be. The auger housing seems plastic-y, so I question longevity.All in all, for occasional use, I’m happy with this purchase, especially as a ‘starter’ powered grinder. This is definitely not a grinder I would put in any sort of commercial setting, but for 1-2 times per month use, it should function just fine.

I used a lean piece of steak w/ a medium plate. Immediately it became clogged & I had to keep cleaning the plate. Very disappointing. But the thing that concerned me the most was when I washed the parts in my dishwasher & all the parts came out covered with a black sutty greasy like coating. The coating came off on your hands. I then washed all the parts by hand & some of it washed off. Now I know the metal parts shed a residue that could be harmfulI & therefore I am not comfortable eating the meat. I have lost about $56 worth of meat, plus all the aggravation of dealing with another china made inferior product. Don't buy it!!

I wish I could give 4.5 stars, as I do have one complaint.But first the good.I've only had this a couple of months, but I've already ground about 30 pounds of meat in five grinding sessions so far. I've used it for a couple of purposes. I have used it to make food to supplement my cats' diets due to how expensive cat food has gotten. I can make them cat food for about 1/3 of the price of buying the cans, so they are currently getting about a 50/50 ratio of their normal food and their newly ground beef and chicken. Boy, do they love me now.Funny how neither of them would touch it at first. Cat number one took one sniff and yelled at me. Cat number two actually ate all of the normal food and left the ground chicken. I left it out for a couple of hours, and they had picked away a bit.On day two, it started out similarly, but the food did disappear eventually.Now, they eat it all in one sitting and promptly remind me every eleven and a half hours that meal time is coming up. I estimate it will take about a year for me to make back the money I spent on this in saved cat food expenses.It also works great for hamburger, which is the primary reason I wanted one. For a single guy, a 16 ounce package of hamburger from the grocery store is exactly the wrong size. I pack them in 12 ounce packages, and that suits my diet far better.I mix chuck to sirloin in about a 3 to 2 ratio to get burger that is the right mixture of fat for me. Also, since not all chucks are created the same, I'll oftentimes run into chucks that have far more or less fat. This will allow me to grind a leaner burger for stews and pasta dishes with a fattier burger for stuff like hamburgers or meat loaf.I don't save any money doing it this way, and it's not even about the flavor. It's all about the texture. Whereas store hamburgers tend to be really compact, I can control the grind on the burgers I grind at home. With store bought beef, it tends to be kind of sticky and wet to the touch. With the more coarsely ground beef I grind at home, I get something that is even sticker but dryer to the touch. This makes it easy to form patties loosely, and it does wonders in making the prefect sear. The bests part about it, though, is because so much moisture stayed in the meat rather than coating the outside of it, the actual hamburgers you cook will be a lot juicier. Plus, since the meat itself is less compact, that allows more of the yummy condiments to seep into the meat giving a more well-rounded flavor.This is probably the best value anyone will ever find on a meat grinder. I was disappointed, though, in how little of the product was actually stainless steel. I knew that there would be some alloy or aluminum stuff, but I was hoping most of the parts that came into direct contact with the food would actually be stainless steel.It turns out, only the cutting blades and the little screen that the blades push the meat through are made of stainless steel. The auger has a stainless steel rod, but the actual auger is the alloy material.Stainless steel is a miracle material in the kitchen. It resists corrosion, it resists pathogens, and it even transmits heat fairly well. Because these aren't stainless steel, I felt they needed to be washed in really hot soapy water for an extended period of time, and after five washes, the shiny metal is given away to a dull gray. I would knock off half a star for that, but that still rounds to a five.

I used it to grind fruits and nuts for my Christmas cookies. Worked perfect.

Saves so much money.paid fir itself in a month.Buy whatever cheapest meat....grind it..spice it... poof! Meatloaf...burgers...sausages...meat for spaghetti. All you do is add a little fatty pork so it's not dry. I love it!!!!

It is cheaply made as expected for this price. I thought the accessories were missing but they were lying at the very bottom of the box hidden underneath the styrofoam piece.Tip 1: cool the meat and the working parts of the grinder for a few hours in the fridge before use.Tip 2: when finished run 1 or 2 slices of toast bread through the grinder to clean the last of the meat out.For my occasional home use, the grinder is perfectly priced and does the job.

Shipping was fast and parcel arrived well packaged to avoid any damage. Not that this tank could be damaged by some human. This thing will grind almost anything you can fit in it. We have done various meats, nuts and other things. Every time we use it we comment on how quiet, easy to clean and amazingly powerful it is especially considering the price you pay.Don't hesitate, buy it now.

Works perfectly

I had no issues with this product, was easy and quick to get the pork ground up that I was using. Just what I needed it to do. Here comes the wontons. :)
