This thing worked perfectly for making sausage from our pig we processed.

Great grinder bought it for processing wild game and have preformed perfect every single time. Really cut thru meat like butter would recommend to my friends

This does exactly what I want it to do - it grinds cooked chicken thighs, some with bones, for dog and cat food. They say not to grind bones in the instructions, but I took my chances. :)It makes quick work of boneless meat, raw or cooked, and we grind our own hamburger now. Haven’t used the sausage stuffer.And it is soooo easy to clean!!!

This grinder worked great for us. It did get clogged once but we took it apart and then it didn’t happen again. We were able to grind venison and pork. It worked at a good speed for us and was easy to clean.

It did not even turn on a complete waste of my time. Got in from the warehouse, so it had been supposedly test. Guess u get what u pay for. Never again any tested refurbished or what ever for me. Did get a good one elsewhere tho.

Comes with 2 sizes of grill plate. NO OPTION for a fine grind. Looked everywhere to get the plate separately. It's an awkward size. I have to build it myself. If you are looking for a fine grind. This is not it. Other than that works fine so far

I will update this if anything changes, but as of now this grinder works great! We use it for venison, which is handles well, even tissue and fat go through great without the stuffer cone on. For how much I paid for this I am very impressed by it, if it makes it through this season it will have easily paid for itself. Very easy to use AND clean, which is a huge plus. Grinds well, definitely not for any big professional operation, but considering it is the cheapest name brand electrical grinder on the market- it's earned its stripes.

I bought this to make dog food. Eventually perhaps people food too. I found mine for over $50 less at the warehouse. Then after reading the reviews more thoroughly I became unsure and ordered another one. and then another one and tried to cancel the 2nd one. But it was too late. The third one arrives today. They are both STX.6 months ago i bought a Weston pro. Magnificent machine but nearly 40 lbs! I didn't want such a heavy one so I returned it. Then I bought the Kitchen Aid attachment grinder. Seemed to work very well. I was using it to grind chicken bones. But when I couldn't find chicken necks I bought wings and they bound it up. Probably the skin. My husband got it loose. But then earlier this week I was just grinding chicken meat and it got bound up again. So, I ordered this Weston. In spite of the reviews it seems like a great 5lb. machine. The review for this machine include another Weston of lesser power. I just did 23 lbs of chicken and beef and they didn't have to be semi frozen.As for breaking in four months; like at least two reviewers said, it will still be under warranty. I like that the gears are metal. It is noisy but not as noisy as my Blender on high. One of the reviews noted that the locking lever does not stay down. That is true. But I just cut off a little less than a 1/2" end off of a wine cork and then cut that in half. Then I pushed it into the hole to jam the lever down/locked during grinding. Pulled it out easily to clean the head. Very happy with my purchase.

Easy to assemble and use. And also super easy to clean. I use it to make raw cat food out of whole chicken, bones and organs (there's also vitamins involved... I use a nutritional recipe). I make sure to take off all the skin and I don't grind the wings, since those are hard to get the skin off. And the one time I chose to grind the wings, the skin from those got wrapped around the blade and got jammed. It says you're not supposed to grind bones, but I do. And I did 2 chickens, one after another to test the motor. Shutting the grinder off for a couple of minutes to cool off in between. It is fabulous. It's my favorite part of the whole process. The only annoying thing about it (maybe I got a dud), the lock for the front bit doesn't stay locked. It wiggles about, when the grinder is operating. So I have to be mindful and periodically push it into locked position. Other than that I love it. And my cat is healthy and wont eat anything else but her raw chicken.Cleaning it is sooo easy too. And it just looks very well made. So far I processed about 10-12 chickens with it. I hope it lasts!

At first the grinder was awesome. I've grinded over 30lbs of meat so far and had it sit up for a few weeks. I get the grinder out along with my chilled meat, and start the process. After the first cube of meat I noticed an unusual sound and the meat didn't come through.. I stopped the grinder and unlock it to pull the rotary and blade out; cleared the meat and reassembled and started the machine up again. As I looked at the blade I noticed it wasn't rotating as usual to feed and grind the meat. Just as I suspected something internal broke and in the beginning of my process. This machine should last longer than what it did! Very dissatisfied with this product! Buyers beware! If you are looking for a product that's durable THIS ISN'T IT!

I chose this product based on Weston's quality known in meat grinding . This machine falls below that bar.Once assembled Out of the box the Hopper connection was way over sized for the feeding hole causing the the hopper to effortlessly flap about 20 degrees up and down. I found the latch locking mechanism insecure in the locked position and appears it can easily unlock while in use. Both of these issues are unacceptable so I am returning it without using it once. I will also mention its loud as hell. The sound has a painful pith . Ear protection is a must . I could live with that if it wasn't for the to previous two defects mentioned. I considered a replacement until I read the reviews and decided the manufacturing quality control in this product is very poor.Who knew that buying a meat grinder is harder than buying a car.
