" ...  I store it in my pantry on a steel shelf. ... It requires a shelf 24" high and dwarfs my other appliances, including dehydrator and toaster oven. ... Today, I ground 100# of meat. ... Preparing the meat to fit into the hopper takes much longer than the actual grinding. ... It ground up chicken leg and thigh bones like they were butter. ... They were mostly thawed in the refrigerator, having removed them from the freezer days earlier.  ...  "

comment
" ...  I love the power, we use this for big game and it has the power to keep up, If you make hamburg the cutting blades come in 2 sizes one larger one small we double grind and the small one is too small and is slow so we had to order the mid size 1/4 I believe and 2 grinds with it is perfect and much faster.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The next impression I had was how well constructed it looked. ... Just by looks, it appears this product was built to last. ... The parts all fit easily and I like the accessory draw built into the unit.  ...  "
