I’ve employed this attachment more times than I ever thought I would. I’ve employed it to prepare feed items for my family as well as feed items for crowds as big as 200 and disregarding of what it is I’ve been making, this attachment has rolled through it without complaint. In combining with other pieces such as the sausage stuffer or the fruit attachments, you may well find that this single attachment stays on your machine the longest.
I am absoultely stunned at how easy it is to put together and how simple it is to get terrifically ground items out of it. I’ve had no disturb grinding any cut of meat (marbled or lean), type of meat (venison, beef, pork, chicken), or state of meat (cooked or raw). Things like chickpeas likewise get ground just the way I like them. The two, differently sized grinding plates give you just what you need in texture. My biggest pleasure in using this attachment is for the duration of hunting season when my husband brings home more than one deer. Venison burger meat and sausage processing never went faster. No more late nights with a hand-crank grinder!
When you’re done, there’s not one thing less sophisticated in the cleanup. Nothing seems to stick to the plastic (plus, it’s dishwasher safe!) and the metal pieces wash up speedily by hand. Even the little wooden stomper cleans well (and I’ve felt lost without it when I couldn’t find it for the duration of sausage making). I think this attachment is the easiest to use of all of the ones I’ve tried.
I’ll never regret the buy of this attachment.

It gets the occupation done, but it’s not one thing special.
By D. E. Hardy
I work in the feed industry, so I’m regrettably comparing this to it is mercantile counterparts. If you have little batches of meat to be ground at a time, this grinder is so much better than the crank grinders and gets the occupation done in a quarter of the time. I still use it, but here’s what I don’t like when it comes to it:
The blade is junk. It doesn’t cut the meat at all, and is more prone than ever to getting silver skin and grizzle wrapped around it, forcing you to stop and clean it regularly all around the proccess. More so than most other grinders.
Stomper: They call this a stomper? Are you serious??? I have the new model that does not come with a wooden stomper, but rather has a plastic contraption that acts both as a wrench and a stomper. It’s not solid in design, and is rather littler than the hole so it have a tendancy to pull more meat up when you pull it out than it pushes down to begin with.
Since there is no gasket that comes with this and everything is plastic, the seals aren’t real tight, and meat have a tendancy to squirt out around the plate rather often. This isn’t a real huge deal unless you’re looking for a specific texture, as for sausage.
Horrible grind. Based on all the other faults with this machine, you’ll never reach that finelooking solid grind that you see with commercially ground meat. It’s more of a squishy mess, even with the big dye plate.
Good luck stuffing sausage. I expended thirty minutes fighting this machine to get ground meat into the casing with very little luck. I managed one link in that amount of time, gave up, and without delay ordered a Grizzly sausage stuffer (which is utterly amazing, but that’s another review).
I am very happy with the ease of clean up. One of those bristle wands that you use for scrubbing cups works outstanding for getting in the grooves of the attachment as well as in the holes of the grinder plate. Just don’t forget to hand arid the metal constituents without delay or you’ll have rust everywhere. I store all my elements in a zip lock back with a lot of rice to keep them together and dry.
So if you just need something little to make a quick batch of burgers or meatloaf with very little effort, this is a great deal. But if you are attempting to make big amounts of sausage of the same quality that you would find in a meat market, you may want to keep looking.
