Good choice..
I ordered this from Amazon and as always arrived before expected. I did a great deal of research before purchasing. Sites that rate grinders agree that the unit should have no plastic gears etc. Also learned that stainless steel blades and plates last 10 times longer than cast iron and this unit had all stainless. There are no plastic parts ( gears, grinder, blades ) I've used this twice and was impressed with the results. I was surprised no one rated this product before me.

Grinds meat easily. Easy clean-up. Varied grinding plates allow for many textures to different applications of product.
The grinder is a little noisy but considering how fast it grinds meat, this is not a problem.
I chose this model for price and reviews it recieved on a forum I subscribe to. I have not used it to it's full capacity. It grinds too fast to max it out. I think that is a good thing.
I have a verticle stuffer for casings so I probably will not be using the tubes for sausage stuffing.
I would recommend this grinder to a friend.
Kitchener #12 Electric Meat Grinder - 1/2 HP
Great...while it worked.
I got this grinder as a present two years ago. Worked well the first 10 or so times. I put it away for about a year, and took it out this summer to grind, and it did not work. The motor hummed, and something was happening inside, but the meat was not grinding. Even when trimmed of all visible fat, it would immediately clog up event the biggest filter. I ordered and used new blades, to no avail.
I called customer service, got the usual "Sir, the warranty was only for one year" "Oh its manufactured in China, we can't help with technical issues." Anyway, they refused to yield, and do anything helpful for me (they offered to wave shipping on a motor repair kit [which I would still have to purchase]- I turned that down, explaining I was neither an engineer nor a mechanic.)
So, after two years, and about 10 grinds, I have a completely non-functional grinder on my hands.
Silly me for expecting a manufacturer to stand behind their workmanship.
