" ... — but the parts were loose. ... "
" ... The tin coating had clearly flaked off in the threads and any other area that had rubbed in the few minutes that I had tried it out and would have gone into my food had I actually been grinding anything. ... Between the future metal particles in my food, the instant rust, the rough mechanical operation and the yellow (toxic plating?) ... As far as I am concerned this thing should not even be on the market and I pray for the people who are eating metal flakes in their food without even knowing it. ... "
" ... The metal plate in the front is rusted. ... "
" ... All the internal surfaces have a rough surface, all the cast has big pits and holes in the metal. ... "
" ... Very poorly made. ... The mounting bracket broke the first time I tried to tighten it down to the counter. ... "

" ... — but the parts were loose. ... "
" ... The opening for clamp wasn’t wide enough to fit kitchen counter ... "
" ... The parts do not fit together with precision. ... It is difficult to make all the parts fit properly to have grind well. ... When it does grind, you must continuously feed or the items in the grinder will not come out (no precision fit). ... "
" ... Upon further inspection I noticed the entire retaining plate was casted crooked thus making it forever impossible to work properly. ... "
" ... One of the three mounting legs is shorter so unit doesn't mount flat , it rocks, also screw that holds handle has a large burr on and doesn't screw in flush to handle, My guess there isn't quality control done on these Grinders ... "

" ... Tried several times with several types of meat and grain, all of which failed miserably. ... It just couldnt push the meat through the holes, and the meat would get stuck in the spiral spinner. ... "
" ... We wanted a hand grinder for meat and vegetable grinding. ... "
" ... I dislike the product idk if there was some things missing but it took me very long to grind meat and it wasnt stable when you clamped the springs onto something. ... "
" ... Doesnt grip the meat that well, pretty much mashed the meat instead of grinding it ... "
" ... takes forever for the meat to come out. ... "
" ... This initially seemed like a good "starter" grinder as we haven't used one in cooking before. ... "
" ... Then, the meat got clogged very easily and backflowed out to where I was putting it in. ... "

" ... The grinder would not send the meat completely through and the parts were so roughly milled, I could not remove the spiral piece to clean out the trapped meat, even after oiling it and using tools. ... "
" ... so we figured we'd take it apart, wash, dry, and let further air dry. ... "
" ... Then, the meat got clogged very easily and backflowed out to where I was putting it in. ... "

" ... Within 3 weeks of use it was broken in three places, even though it was properly cleaned each use. ... "
" ... The finish on this product is so rough that it wouldn't be able to be cleaned after one use! ... "
