Ok first cons 1. Very hard to clean making breakfast sausage with the added bits of fat was a nightmare to clean out of the largest plate. 2. It will clog I added fresh sage leaves to the meat while grinding and yup they clogged it. So I had to take it apart to dig them out. 3. I feel if the metal components on the machine were bigger it would be easier to clean and assemble. Now pros 1. It's not loud I expected it to sing a high pitched scream the entire time it did not. 2. For being a tiny machine (maybe size of bread machine) it was kicking butt we used raw meat and partially frozen meat to put it though the paces. 3. It went fast (not the cleaning part that sucks but the grinding part)

Pardon the slight spatter on this little gem - it's already gotten heavy use! I bought this so I could process my own chicken breast for sausage and burgers. This meat grinder does a great job. It seems to be made well, is easy to dissemble and clean, and doesn't have a lot of frills we don't need. The cutting disks and blades are easy to swap in and out and I've had no issues with rusting. It does exactly what I want it to and that's exactly what I ask! A great value.

What a great, reasonably priced grinder. I have been using it for some time and have never had any issues with it. You can freeze the metal parts to insure that the fat does not melt out of the meat while you grind.

I bought this product because of all the great reviews it had and the price was very reasonable. This product should NOT be commercial grade, it's slow and the fat from the lamb meat does not grind well, it gets all caught up in the machine and clogs it. It's a headache to clean out. I have asked to return it, it might be a decent product for home and small time stuff but definitely should not be for commercial use.

Nightmare. Took half an hour to grind one pound of hamburger meat. I asked before purchasing if would work for hamburger. Reply was yes it should be fine. Not!! I’m now searching for a different grinder because I went past the return date. Beware.

Easy to assemble, easy to use, easy to clean. Definitely don't use it often, maybe once or twice a month, but its still working just fine. Overall, seems well constructed, haven't had issues with over heating, or grinding changes. Really, a great value, I would probably buy again if something happens to this one.

Used twice so far and love it. Added strips of thick cut bacon to beef chunks with no problem grinding. Thin strand of fat wrapped around blade but not that big a deal. Added onions both times, first time no problem, second blocked disk, but no big deal to unscrew (after unplugging) disks off and remove onion layer.

This machine is a workhorse. I've had this thing running for almost an hour straight and keeps running like a champ. I was so surprised that this galaxy grinder can grind so much meat so quickly. I go through 10lbs of pork for sausage in just a few minutes. Easy to clean. Compact size for storage and 3 different die sizes to work with included. Awesome.

This is one amazing product for the price. You will never find a grinder of this quality in any retail store. We grind allot of turkey out here on the farm. We needed a grinder with real power, that can withstand the abuse we give it. This unit fits that need without a doubt. It's worth every single penny.

Started using this the day after it arrived and was impressed. Made over 40 lbs. of sausage and it performed perfectly. Just the right size for the typical home user and seems very well built. No harder to clean than I expected (I was a meat cutter for several years and have a lot of experience cleaning industrial sized grinders...) Make sure to dry this thoroughly (I use a warm over) before you re-assemble and put away.

I haven't used this yet, but I am so excited about it that I can't wait to write a review. It's compact, so it won't take up too much space and it comes apart for easy cleaning. It seems sturdy enough to handle some wear and tear but isn't so heavy that it's a pain to lift. After all the stuff in the news last year about the ground beef in the stores having unfortunate additives, I have decided I'd rather just grind my own and this will enable me to do that with ease.
