Reviews for Galaxy SMG8 #8 Electric Meat Grinder - 120V

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)

Great meat grinder easy to use Easy to take apart and clean easy to put back together for the price it's a great machine and it's going to be able to be used for many years

This Grinder is perfect; It´s so fast and the meats is perfectly ground. I loved it and I´m pround that I selected it over others on the market.

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.

Very hand and easy to use. The only issue is it is not easy to clean. Definitely have a bottle brush and pipe cleaner handy with degreaser to clean this.

This grinder works decently. I have used it to grind patties and stuff sausage. It so far has worked adequately but is a bit annoying to clean in the bend.

This is a great "light duty" meat grinder. I would purchase this for home use also. It has a sleek stainless exterior that's easy to clean,

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.

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.

Es una máquina pequeña pero muy potente, he quedado muy contento al adquirir este producto ya que al ser de un tamaño compacto ocupa poco espacio y tiene un gran desempeño para su precio...lo recomiendo!

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.

DOES NOT GRIND VERY WELL. THE MEAT DID NOT LOOK LIKE THE MEAT IN THE STORE. MORE LIKE MUSH. CLEAN UP WAS AS TO BE EXPECTED, NOT FUN

Very good product, our customers happy, it is very easy to assemble and use, you can use it at home or in craft businesses. Comes with sausage accessories.

I was reluctant at first to buy this inexepensive of a grinder, but I am glad I did. The components are metal so it is sturdy and holds up well to deer processing.

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.

We make our own sausage. The grinder has been great. Easy to use and even easyier to clean. It may seem small but it is very strong.

Bought this with for the sole purpose of making falafel. This meat grinder can't handle parsley and cilantro stems, it is also VERY slow and underpowered.

This is essential for any low to medium food service establishment. This is super light yet ultra durable. Easy assembly for set-up and cleaning. Interchangeable grinder plates for any type of application. I highly recommend this product.

read the reviews and bought it.worst grinder ever.low power,meat gets stuck in the blade and stops grinding.had to clean every 5 minutes.would like to returns if the accepts it.otherwise both of them are useless for me.used one grinder only once.do not recommend.

I love it. My friends have the same one and I love everything about it. You can't beat the price. Best website ever. Buy it you won't regret it.

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.

When I’m using the grinder it barely puts out any meat and gets stuck inside the machine so I have to clean it out every time just for it to slightly function better, it is not worth your money and time please dont order this

This meat grinder by Galaxy is a good purchase. The pieces come apart easily and can be reassembled in time. It even comes with the pusher and stuffing tubes making it easier for make my own sausage.

What a great value! This grinder is easy to assemble, easy to dis-assemble, and quick to clean up. It's easy to use, and get's the job done well.

we really like this kind of meat grinder, it works so good and fast to make the ground meat. The price is acceptable. Easy to install, uninstall and clean. worth it!

Awesome meat grinder, I use it for chicken thighs, I pay only 2.00 a pound now for the ground meat, what a deal! great product.

Used this to grind meat scraps for Hamburger. Works like a champ, just make sure you get the silver skin off the meat as this will wrap around the cutting blade.

This is a great meat grinder! We use it at home for grinding sausage meat, but we have no doubt it would hold up in a commerical environment.

Used this grinder to make my own ground beef and ground pork for sausages and snack sticks. Machine worked great, no clogging or issues while we have been using it. We upgraded to this one from a Cabela's grinder and its been a great move so far.

Had this little Galaxy SMG400 for almost two years now with no issues, it's not your big heavy duty commercial meat grinder but for the price it's well worth it.

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.

The Galaxy 120V Meat Grinder is quiet, efficient and easy to use. It is very powerful and a great machine to create all kinds of different meat products.

beyond a great purchase - ground 20lbs of beef to make the best lean burgers ever! easy to clean and really works well, must have a strong motor as there were no issues!

Whether your grinding sausage, beef, or pork this little guy is a workhorse. Has 3 different blades and makes my life so easy. Works like the big guys but with out the extra cost.

Works much better than my previous machine, quieter, more powerful, and easier to clean. Really impressed so far, hopefully holds up well for a long time. Super deal for a nice meat grinder for home use or light commercial jobs.

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.

This was great and easy to use. Greasy value for a price a abit liider when u grind meats but still workong good and awesome

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.
