Buy bulk meat products. This grinder works great...no problems encountered. Have made high quality meat hamburgers, sausage, and mixed meats for meat loaf.

I've had this grinder a few months now. Works well to grind raw chicken thighs and breast w/bones for my cats. I found raw skin clogs the blades, so I remove that now. Grinder does fine w/small chunks of chicken and cut-up bones. I do need to reverse the motor occasionally to loosen clogs around the feeder screw. It's usually necessary to unscrew the whole thing at some point and pull out the feeder screw to remove clogs on the blades.

A couple of tips:

Although I've only had this product for a month, it seems to be well made, easy to use, and fairly powerful for the price. It's a wee bit noisy, but not to excess. I've used it to make three batches of hamburger (avoid the sinewy meats as it tends to clog up the machine - but that's not the machine's fault, it's the meat's fault) and two batches of sausage. I've not partially frozen the meat as some have recommended; just ground it from smaller (1 to 4 inches)chunks chilled in the fridge and it seems to

Heavy, bulky and noisy, takes a lot of place on the counter.
Lasted just a couple of months of light usage after which the output shaft just stopped spinning. Customer service is not very responsive with warranty claim, still trying to get RMA, they just do not return calls or reply to emails.

This meat grinder does the job (grinding meat). But, it makes very loud noise that can substantially affect hearing. (ear plugs are recommended during operation to protect your hearing ability). Also, its grinding speed is so slow that grinding 1 pound of meat took about 2 hours. This meat grinder is easy to maintain, though.

This grinder is likely very very good if used for meat - unfortunately I purchased a meat grinder to grind up dried red peppers (large) and even though I soaked the peppers to soften the skin - they immediately became stuck in the passageway and clogged up the machine. I truly think that for meat this would have been a complete non-issue. There must be a grinder for the purposes I needed and I should have reviewed my purpose/purchase more carefully. It was not hard to assemble, it is a nice size, and if

I've compared this model to others costing hundreds of dollars. This grinder gives me the most bang for the buck. It's inexpensive yet powerful and well-made. It's a little noisy and big and I have seen an off-center wobble. For this trade-off, it's about 1/5th the price of comparable models so I don't mind the short-comings. I bought this to grind my own hamburger meat so I could make low-fat burgers with high-quality beef. I suggest you make this an accessory at your next BBQ to make gourmet steak b

I bought this grinder to process deer meat since the local bucher would was unwilling to grind it. The Maxi-Matic is all I wanted and more. It is more than adaquate to grind all the deer meat I had and was MUCH faster than I expected. What a relief from the old hand grinder. I have
no hesitation what so ever in recommendding it. I am WELL SATIFIED.

Looks good. Some of the machine's inner metal surface is rough. The Feed Screw's center pin was not centered, therefore causes a binding wobble within the Food Tube, and a audible strain on the motor. Also, causes metal shavings. Hoping this machine is not just another piece of Chinese junk. We'll see how long this lasts.

This is the first time I have ever used a home meat grinder. My husband cut up a bunch and I mean a bunch of deer meat. Oh, first things first, I bought this for my husband for Christmas. So, guess who got to grind the first batch...ME. It was wonderful. It does not like stringy fat but it did not back up at all and I did not have to use the reverse function. I would most likely clean it after about half way through and then keep going. I would definately recommend this item.

First off, I want to rate Amazon's service. My grinder came missing the coarse cutting disc and they FedExed me a new box overnight. Outstanding service. I ran it for the first time today and ground up beef to make beef jerky.

Some might complain about the sound, but it packs a 550 watt motor. It won't be soft and weak. This is a workhorse. I noticed that the grind housing rocks a bit back and forth during grinding, but it grinds effortlessly so it must not be a big deal. Cleaning and

We love this Grinder - it has plenty of power and does not bog down while grinding! Meat feeds very nicely thru the auger and looks like it was done at the butcher. We last used three types of meat, and are so pleased with how easy the clean-up went. Comes apart easily and is easy to put back together!
I enjoy the fact that it is lightwieght and easy to operate.
We have used many different types of meat from fatty to lean and it has worked to perfection.
We use it a few times a month, b

Pros: This item works beautifully. It makes lovely ground meat. The venison sausage I made with it has been getting rave reviews. It is very easy to operate. I operate it for at least 45 minutes at a time and have had no problems with jamming. I do use kitchen shears to cut the meat into chunks before grinding it, so it does not contain long ligaments that could wind around the mechanism.

In addition to how easy the machine is to assemble and operate, I was surprised at how easily this sta

This meat grinder works beautifully, VERY easy to assemble and to take apart to wash, everything goes right in the diswasher and cleans up great. Hve ground, beef, chicken and turkey so far and have made the most delicious low fat low calorie dishes ever! Even made dog food for our Doggies with chicken. No mess at all. Get this one if you are just starting out. Will probably upgrade in the next year to a larger unit since we are so pleased with the results. going to make vegetable and potato sausage as
