Designed to fit all Bosch stand mixer/kitchen machines whose model numbers begin with MUM 4, this attachment grinds raw or cooked meat, poultry, and fish and also grates vegetables and cheese. (The grinder has no motor and cannot operate independently of the kitchen machines.) Made of metal and rugged plastic, the grinder has a hardened-steel cutting blade and a disk with 0.18-inch (4.5-millimeter) perforations. Its plastic feeder tray measures 7 by 4-3/4 inches, and the accompanying plastic stuffer is 9 inches long, with a large grip. It disassembles easily for cleaning. Available separately for fitting onto the meat grinder is MUZ 4 RV1, a grater for nuts and breadcrumbs. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a quality meat grinder, October 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Bosch MUZ 4 FW1 01 Meat Grinder with 4.5-Millimeter Perforated Disk (Kitchen)

Well, I first ordered a cheap ... 250Watt meat grinder from Harbor Freight. It had a plastic worm gear, didn't work well at all, so it sits on my shelf. Then I got a hand operated meat grinder, and that turned out to be quite a lot of work. I like to grind my own burger and was still looking for a good meat grinder. I did own the Bosch mixer and noticed they made a meat grinder attachment (I bought the mixer after I bought my first two grinders). I have the 450 watt mixer. I figured I would try the meat grinder. I got the grinder and it was all metal, except for the tray on top and the push tube. Well, I diced my meat and got ready to grind some burger (I just don't trust supermarket stuff - too many recalls!). WOW! was I impressed -- this thing grinds like a demon! perfect hamburger. And, it ground up the meat as quickly as I could get it down the tube too...this is the one that I will keep and use for my burger grinding. The other two grinders that I own are going to go to Goodwill as a donation. Money well spent...

5.0 out of 5 stars works great, December 30, 2002

This review is from: Bosch MUZ 4 FW1 01 Meat Grinder with 4.5-Millimeter Perforated Disk (Kitchen)

This is an awesome meatgrinder. I just aquired the Bosch Compact machine and this attachment. I'am really happy with it. It makes the best burgers and you know what kind of meat is in them.
I also tried it on some vegetables and does them also nicely. If you own the Bosch Compact and like grinding your own meat, this is a great buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grinder Review after First Use, May 7, 2008

This review is from: Bosch MUZ 4 FW1 01 Meat Grinder with 4.5-Millimeter Perforated Disk (Kitchen)

I just purchased this unit for my Bosch Compact kitchen machines (I have two!) and discover upon very first use that it grinds meat quickly and superbly as others have reported.

While grinding beef chuck,the last very last piece of meat in the batch pushed down the tube did not squeeze through the perforated disk, causing expensive waste - which is why I don't give it a perfect score. Maybe I will eventually discover some trick to make that last piece of meat go through the grinder completely - perhaps I should have chosen the highest speed.

Make sure to clean, dry, and oil the blade and disk according to the instructions. They tarnish and rust very easily. I discovered this fact the hard way while letting the disk soak in dishwater too long.

I look forward to use of this quality product for years to come, and experimenting with it for pates, terrines, and a variety of other recipes calling for ground meats. I have additionally invested in the berry press attachment for the grinder, which I expect to arrive soon.
