3.0 out of 5 stars
Adequate for the home kitchen, September 23, 2005
This review is from: VillaWare V5266 Elite Pro Grinder Stainless-Steel Meat Grinder (Kitchen)
Were it not for the plastic coupling which attaches the grinding unit to the metal motor housing, I would give this item 4+ stars, but it is certain that this screw coupling, which must be used each time the grinder is washed, will fail before any other part of the grinder.
Everything else is satisfactory and it does a good job of grinding at 3 different degrees from course to very fine. The motor is more than powerful enough and makes easy work of very tough cuts. The sausage-stuffing tube works as advertised and is a good plus.

Great for Home Use, December 24, 2010
This review is from: VillaWare V5266 Elite Pro Grinder Stainless-Steel Meat Grinder (Kitchen)
I bought one of these around a year ago & I use it quite regularly to grind everything from wild duck & venison to whole chuck (inclusing almost a whole axis & a whole white tail). I've put a few hundred pounds of meat & vegetables (carrots, onions, &c.) through it - including some secondary grinding for a finer consistency - & I've had no complaints. It does just what I need to make my own ground meat & pan sausage & it's easy to clean up.
I'm just beginning to experiment with link sausage & it does very well on that front too, though that's not the primary function; for larger volumes, you might want to get a proper sausage stuffer so you don't tax the motor on this grinder.
As long as you follow the instructions & put only appropriately sized chunks through it, you won't have any problems.
Don't expect to grind bones.
Don't expect to start a home butchering enterprise.

Useless product, March 28, 2008
This review is from: VillaWare V5266 Elite Pro Grinder Stainless-Steel Meat Grinder (Kitchen)
I bought this grinder and turned around and returned it because it did not meet my expectations. The refund was rapid. (Thanks a bunch amazon!) I would not recommend it to anyone - It was slow and got stuck every 2 seconds!
