1.0 out of 5 stars Rusty meat grinder, June 23, 2009

By	CL (Santa Clara, CA) - See all my reviews

Upon receiving the package, the front ring nut wasn't machined properly and it even had a hole in the side; looks like a poor cast job. I called customer service and got a replacement. It also seems to fit better too.

Okay, now onto using it. It grinds stuff fairly well, and there won't be any complaints here. However, after using it, I washed it, dried all of the components, reassembled it and put it back in the box for storage.

The next time I used it, I noticed rust along all of the non-tinned parts. This includes the crank handle, the knife, the plate, the clamp screw, the thumbscrew. They should have made this from stainless steel instead of tin plating.

No big deal, I just re-washed it and coated it with vegetable oil. Now, after having used it a few times, the tin plating has chipped off the plates, the auger and grinder body where they meet when spinning; along the shaft as well as at the ends.

I think it's too late to return this now, and probably too much hassle. I would not recommend that anyone purchase this item. It looks like cheap overseas manufacturing with no quality control.

1.0 out of 5 stars buyer beware, April 3, 2008

By	radium87 "radium87" (Gresham, OR United States) - See all my reviews

I wanted the grinder as pictured. However, I was mailed the Clamp down. Upon advising the vendor, I was e-mailed back stating that I should have been specific that I wanted the bolt down as shown on photo....okay, whatever. To add to insult the grinder sent appeared to be a return or restock. I'll have to try to get rid of it in a garage sale..Weston 36-1001-W Deluxe H/D Manual Tinned Meat Grinder w/ Deluxe Accs Kit (#10)

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid little meat grinder, August 31, 2009

By	C. Rose (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Instruction manual is very helpful (hint: do not skip the step of freezing the meat a little bit -- it makes all the difference). This grinder does a fantastic job and it's pretty easy to clean. The grinding blade and plate inside does rust if left wet though, so be warned to dry thoroughly after washing. However, all parts feel extremely solid and I'm confident that they'll last for years if they are well-cared for.
