Haven't made any pasta yet, but for grinding meat it works great. It's also easy to clean and store in a plastic bag etc.

Bought this item based on the large number of positive reviews here on Amazon. Had no intention of using it for pasta, just meat.

FIRST - no one mentions that the handle is longer than the unit is tall. So where and how it sticks to what surface is immaterial if none of these surfaces is an edge. My formica counter top has a raised lip, so it didn't work on the edge as I needed.

Overcame that problem, and embarked on my first project, grinding some top round for making meat loaf

I just received this. It took me 1 minute to put it together and 2 minutes to figure out that you can only put in strips about 3/4" X 2" X as long as you want. The meat has to fit between the spiral and the side of the insert so that it can be pulled into the grinder. I got it because I broke my Kitchen Aid meat grinder attachment trying to grind hard pepper seeds. Usually I just use it for grinding london broils into chopmeat. I'm gonna try those seeds on this and I bet it could do it. I bet it even makes

I make raw dog and cat food and I ordered this grinder for that purpose. Since it is inexpensive I wasn't sure if it could do the job, although it received very good reviews. It really does a great job and I also freeze the liver before grinding, which makes it so much easier to grind (I know, it's kind of disgusting!). I'm amazed that it is such a bargain. I may order a second one for making pasta for myself.

This item is great! I have used it several times since I purchase it, and it has done a wonderful job. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars rather than 5 is because I have not tried to make pasta with it, not will I. I bought it to grind meat, so I can control and trim most of the fat, and it does that wonderfuly. I think I already made my money back with all that I have saved buying those expensive 'lean' ground beef/chicken/ turkey at the supermarket. I will say that I put through very little to no fat,

Don't be put off by the low price. This thing does exactly what it is expected to do exactly as one would expect it to do it.

Even the priciest gourmet food store does not clean its meat grinder to my satisfaction. Your medium rare burger is going to contain some medium rare pork as well.

Anyway, this thing replaces an attachment on my Kitchenaid stand mixer. It is easier, faster and simpler to clean. I love the way this thing adheres to the counter. Three pound meatloaf of beef, p

My husband asked for a meat grinder for father's day. I didn't want to buy an electic one. Based on reviews I bought this meat grinder and this is magical. Not only daddy can grind the meat but also our three years young children can operate this meat grinder withut a problem. They are daddy's help to grind the meat for making their meatballs and Hamburger.
Easy to work with, easy to clean, and foremost it is safe and has no noise while grinding.
I advise everybody to have one.

Used this to grind meat the same day got it. I did semi freeze the meat and it worked fine clean up a breeze!! The freezing tip I read from another customer..
Haven t used it for pasta yet.
Definitely recommend this product..

This grinder works as advertised. I am impressed with the quality and
of the easy cleanup. Perhaps the customers who gave negative comments
do not know how to grind meat with a high fat content. If they cut the meat/fat into small 1/2-1 inch chunks and put it in the freezer for about an hour or so, it will grind perfectly. The meat/fat mix
must be as cold as possible to prevent smear and clogging. The base
stayed secure during the entire process. Once meat is ground, season as d

Wanting a home meat grinder, I bought this particular model because (a) I am CHEAP, and (b) I didn't want another version of the old pig-iron hand-cranked grinder my family used to have (weighed a ton, rusted if you so much as breathed on it, imparted an unpleasant pig-iron flavor to everything that went through it).

I should have known that I was going to be likewise unsatisfied with an all-plastic grinder, but thought I'd give this a whirl. And when I tried it out, for the first few minutes, it wasn't that bad. I had a one-pound chunk of beef that I'd slung in the freezer for an hour (slightly frozen meat is much easier to grind); I cut it into small strips as directed by the instructions; I tried securing the grinder to several surfaces (didn't work at all on the wooden chopping block, but held on pretty well to formica); and I had reasonable success with the first half-pound or so of the meat, producing a nice evenly-ground result.

Alas, after that the fat and tendons began clogging up the mechanism, and finally I had to take the whole thing apart and spend a revolting interlude picking clotted clumps of animal sinew out of the holes in the plate.

So I'll be returning this, and looking for a better alternative. Giving it two stars despite my disgruntlement, because it might not be bad for someone only grinding meat that had been carefully pre-trimmed, and for all I know it might be fine for pasta-making.

We bought this product for making miso paste. We use it to grind the cooked soybean. It is very easy to set up, use, and clean. My mother has no problem cranking away 1 and half gallons worth of soybean paste. She is almost 70 and she felt that it was easy on her joints. The plastic is good quality plastic and the unit is nice and compact. I would have given it a 5 stars review, but the unit is made in China and not in the USA as advertised.
