If you like to save time and money, forget about this terrible grinder. It just doesn't work!! I spend 30 mins and just get 10 oz grinded meat because meat doesn't come out. They all stucked in the machine. Something must be wrong with blades. However, they are new. Initially, I thought I didn't know how to use it correctly, however, after a try by an expert, he also gave up and suggested me throw it away.

I purchased a similar grinder from another place few months ago and I returned it to the store. The meat got stacked in the grinder and did not get out. This type of machine is made out of cast iron and its surface is rough and porous like the sand paper that is the reason why the meat won't go out. In other countries, these grinders are electro-coated with tin or chrome, or covered with hardened acrylic until the inside and the outside become very shiny and lustrous like glass. The meat slides out with ease, it is sanitary and the cleaning is simple and effortless. Unless you purchase a grinder made this way, stay away from Eastman Outdoors #10 Meat Grinder.

I bought this despite the poor reviews I read here, I figured at about $6.50 i was not out much even if it was a terrible product so i expected the worst, but I was pleasantly surprised, in my opinion I think this grinder works just fine, I have never ground my own meat before or used a grinder but I didn't find any difficulty in doing so with this grinder, I assume that it's possible those that didn't like this grinder may have tightened it too much and pressed the blades too tightly against the metal disc with the holes in it preventing it from turning easily? I'm not sure, all I know is I had no problems with this grinder other than that it was a little messy with the blood from the meat leaking out of the end with the handle attached to it. Not a big deal to me.

Use this grinder for making mixes out of leftover meats or whatever for sandwiches. Easy to clean, can be used in a dishwasher.

We were looking for a larger meat grinder to replace our small one. We were very disappointed in this product--worked very poorly right out of the box; very slow and all around a badly made grinder. Our little one is much more efficient. Look elsewhere.

This was not an electric meat grinder like we were looking for. I was disappointed, I would not have ordered it if I knew it was a hand crank type.
