3.0 out of 5 stars Adequate for the home kitchen, September 23, 2005

By	Joker212 (New York,NY USA) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the Job Well - Disappointed with pricing, August 3, 2007

By	Elga Joffee "Family Chef" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this product at a cost of $117.00 one week ago. It was the last item in stock through Amazon. It has just become available again at a price of $105.00. I am disappointed that I couldn't benefit from the price reduction.

That said, the grinder works well, is reasonably straightforward to assemble and take apart for cleaning, and cleans up easily. I am using it to grind beef for hamburgers and meatballs. Nothing fancy such as deer, venison, bear, etc. No bones or sausages. It appears to be a sturdy and well working household appliance. Time will tell about product life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless product, March 28, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase

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!
