Verified Purchase
The good: This is an economical, entry level appliance that is substantial and rugged. With care and proper hand washing, it appears to be capable of lasting many years. It is simple to assemble and use, and the directions are clear and readily understood. The ground meat has a consistent texture. The bad: It's inefficient, as the grinder simply does not self feed. Even with first cubing the meat, removing 95% of any connective fiber/silverskin, and chilling it to 35F, the meat simply spun around the auger, leaving a red smear in the grinding chamber. Only by using a shot glass to provide constant pressure on the meat was it possible to push food into the knife and grinding plate. The last bit of meat remaining in the grinding chamber had to be pushed forward with bread fed into hopper. Summary: For occasional, low volume use - in my case, making hamburgers and sausage out of preferred cuts or kinds of meat.
