Oct. 2013. We got this grinder to grind a large amount of meat on one day and it performed flawlessly. It took about 9 hrs. to do 450 lbs. of beef ground twice. It never even slowed down. We have only used it that one time so far but it sure seems like it will be able to do anything we could want to do. I read some reviews before getting it and they talked about grinding bones, but we didn't use it for that, so I wouldn't be able to comment on whether it could do that or not. The only issue we have had, is when we got it, my husband wanted to clean it thoroughly to get it ready to go and he took the cover off the machine and when he put it back on and tried to turn it on it didn't do anything. He got to looking at the manual and discovered that all the pictures inside the manual show the cover situated with the handle to the back and that is how he put it on, but upon further inspection he found that one of the handle bolts sits right on a part of the motor that keeps it from turning, so when he took it back off and put the handle to the front like it shows on the front cover of the manual, it worked fine. We would recommend this product to anyone looking for a meat grinder.
Nov. 9, 2013. So, yesterday my husband shot a deer and we had to process it quickly since the temperatures were going to get into the 60's. Again, a flawless performance. We ground 135 lbs. of venison in approx. 4 hrs. We did grind it twice and it is a little harder to feed the ground meat through for the second grinding but the initial grinding is very quick. It is fairly quiet and is not irritating to hear it grinding for several hours at a time. The feed tray edge is kind of sharp, so if you are using it on a higher surface like we do and rest your arm on the edge, your arm will probably get sore like ours do. Overall, for the price, I think this is a very good grinder.
