Weston 10-1201-W #12 Pro Series Electric Meat Grinder - 120V - 1 hp

I bought this a few years ago for my small bbq catering business as I have a lot of trimmings that I use to bring my own meats for ground meat and sausage. This grinder has been fantastic. It's rips through 40-60lbs at a time with no problem. The first grind using the courser plate doesn't even require using the plunger. I often do a second grind using the smaller grnging plate and it runs through fine. I've used the sausage attachments included to case my own sausage. That function can be done with one person but a much easier with a second hand. This is a perfect machine for frequent grinding...a few times per month. I grind about a 100-150lbs/mo.

This beast is more than worth the price. I primarily process raw dog food which includes bones. This grinder pulled 10 large frozen chicken drumsticks through in 30 seconds with no loss of power. Next it sucked a whole beef tongue, even though the base of it was a little wider than the throat...it just did it. I no longer have to chop my beef trimmings as it will take whatever length I drop in, and I haven't touched the plunger yet. It's quiet, strong and fast. Hand clean-up it so much easier than with my old smaller grinder, as all the pieces are large enough for a good cleaning brush. Weston did a great job with this machine.

This meat grinder is awesome. Several parts are awesome about it. First off, it is beefy. Secondly, the tray on top is large enough that I can put pretty much the entire amount of meat I'm going to grind. Major step up from my kitchen aid attachment.

Works great and a great price. We grind pork, beef and ham. Over 4000lbs and still working good. Stuffing sausage is slow and renders the fat. A manual stuffer works much better.

This is definitely a heavy duty grinder that will get the job done for you. I use it to grind top round and chicken breasts to make burgers with among many other combinations. The grinder churns right through this with no problem. One thing to keep in mind, it's always better to grow into something, than grow out of it. As your business grows, you want a machine that is already there for you, rather than having to buy bigger, then have to get rid of the old small one you had. Having the extra power is also a huge plus if you find yourself with a less than optimum piece of meat, or your temperature may not be as cool as you generally like it to be when grinding meat. This unit is strong enough to pull you through without binding up and Read More

I have had this grinder for about two weeks now. I own a meat business and I use it a lot... I grind anything from chicken breast, chicken pieces (bone in thigh, leg, wing etc.) with no problem. I do one pounder turkey necks, wings, thighs and legs with no problem. I do pork tails with very little problem, it will clog once in a blue moon with the 7mm plate, i know if it had a 10mm plate it would have no problem at all. Pork tails are solid bone and a lot of fat and this grinder has no problem at all. I do hearts, liver, organs, kidney pretty much anything at all and I have had huge success. Its quiet and doesn't shake etc. I had a carnivore from cabbalas prior to this one, the biggest one they sold, and it gave me SO many problems. Read More

I have a small butcher shop and the weston #22 is awesome fulfills all my needs I would recommend it highly also bought tenderizer works great

This is a really great meat grinder it is very powerful and extremely quiet which is really great. I like the sausage attachment that comes with it. It works really good. There are lots of different sizes of sausage you can make. This is a really nice high-quality made meat grinder. You can't go wrong with it.

Very nice little meat grinder. We have already used the grinder quite a few times and it appears to be holding up well. We have only ground pork meat through it, but plan to use it to grind other meats as well. Currently being used on a bi-weekly basis.
