This is what I've learned from experience in trials and error. You should cut the meat in chunks smaller than the tube and you should partially freeze it otherwise it will clog from all the stringy stuff in the meat. It depends on your freezer and the temperature of the meat after cutting but I think between 20 and 40 minutes should be adequate. Experiment with the time a little. If it's not frozen enough, it will clog prematurely and if it's too frozen, you will damage your grinder. I have it down to a science and I can grind 20lbs cut up rump roast or chuck roast in about 15 minutes without it clogging.

I paid for another meat grinder a few years back that, bit the dust, first it cost more, then the Rival, it made more noise, it weighed more. So far I have had only the best experience with the Rival Food Grinder, it's light compared to other electric grinders I have owned, costs less, and is extremely easy to assemble and disassemble. So far it's the best one I have owned for the cost.

LOVE the food grinder--bought a rump roast on sale and had ground round for a fraction of the usual cost.

Don't buy this product. You cannot get spare parts for it as I found when I lost the grinder blade.

Bought as a gift for someone who likes to grind their own fresh sausage. She says it is a good size for her apartment and not overly noisy. Do chill the meat before grinding.

THIS GRINDER DOES A ACCEPTONAL JOB ON GRINDING DEER MEAT WHICH IS VERY GRISSELY. WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH HOW EASY IT WAS TO USE AND HOW WELL IT WORKED WHEN WE USED IT TO MAKE SAUSAGE WITH THE STUFFING ATTACHMENT.

Don't purchase this product. You can not obtain spare parts for it. The manufacturer and other internet websites do not sell spare parts for this unit.

I own 2 of these. Both nearly new. The feeding tube is a plastic type material, and the first one split horizontally along bottom (over time)just forward of where it attaches to the unit. The second one broke at the rear of the feeding tube where it holds the rubber seal, while just sitting between uses. I know this sounds like I abused it, but this definately is not the case. The bad thing about this unit is that parts are not available (that's why I bought the second one).
If they start making this unit with a metal feeding tube, it would be a great unit, as the rest of the unit is fine. Virtually all other grinders on the market have metal feeding tubes (and now I know why)

Don't buy this product. It works very slow. Plastic parts start cracking after a couple month of using. It is ABS plastic so I have glued it with ABS pipe glue cement to keep it working. Anyway it ends up after I'v lost the grinder blade. Sure there is no replacement. Today I have ordered a new meat grinder made from metal not from plastic.

For the price, the machine did an okay job. But if you need a new rotary cutter blade, your out of luck. That key part is no longer available from the manufacturer. Now the grinder will just take up space in a landfill.
