Review: Would deserve SIX stars - For me and for my wife, cooking is a kind of a hobby. Before buying a meat grinder, we analyzed several models. The first conclusion: the most important feature of a meat grinder is the motor power. This STX has a powerful 1,800 watts motor, more than enough to do all of the duties of a home kitchen (and maybe even of a small restaurant). Other meat grinders with smaller motors, such as 500W or 800W, will not fit for heavy duty (10 or more pounds at once), nor will be able to deal with some kinds of meat. After some research, we ordered it from desertcart. The delivery time was as promised. The machine was very well packed in a so protective box. Our first test of the product revealed that we made the right choice. Some points to highlight: 1. Most parts are polished aluminum. So easy for cleaning, very nice appearance; 2. The finishing is careful at every detail. It is clearly a good quality product; 3. It works wonderfully. The powerful motor is far more than enough for regular meat; 4. The ground meat texture results very similar to that from a supermarket grinder. I've seen other home meat grinders that produced a kind of a paste. This one, however, preserves the texture as it should be: perfect for hamburgers, tartar beef and so on; 5. It is so easy to assemble/disassemble and to operate. Impossible to mistake; 6. Despite we didn't use it yet, the sausage kit will be very helpful. In short, this is a 5 stars product, no doubts about that. But we had a problem: the aluminum parts are NOT dishwasher safe. We didn't notice that, and what went to the dishwasher was damaged: the shining was gone and those parts became some rough to touch. So, I contacted the seller (The Mercantile Station) and asked them the price of the replacing parts, since I would buy them. What a pleasant surprise: they promptly sent me an email asking for my address, and they kindly offered to send the parts for free (despite, I must stress, the damage was caused by me). What an elegant attitude! So, would desertcart allow it, the seller would deserve SIX stars. IMPORTANT NOTE: a few months after we bought our STX, the motor was improved to 2,000 watts, i.e, an increase of about 11%. I'd guess that, with this new and more powerful motor, the machine will able to perform an even heavier duty. My one is still working so fine, no complaints at all. AN ADDITIONAL NOTE AFTER ALMOST 2 YEARS OF USE: the machine is still perfect, as when it was new. No problems at all. I am really impressed with the superior quality. A great deal!
Review: Great grinder, not so great stuffer. - I purchased the STX Turboforce 3000 series grinder to begin my adventures in sausage making. First off, let me say I am very pleased with how quickly the item arrived (6 days before promised date!), and the condition of the item from shipping. The instruction manual that came with the grinder is very clear and concise. It is a MUST read before use, especially if you are new to this stuff like I am. Follow the washing instructions to the letter! Also I think it's important to note that you should wash the grinding plates immediately after use. I left mine out for about an hour prior to washing and oxidation had already started. Silly me to think I could take a break after stuffing prior to cleanup. The grinder works like a charm. It is easy to assemble, and it's very easy to change the grinder plates. I personally liked the pictures that came in the manual to help me put everything in properly. We ground about 12 lb of pork shoulder without any issues. Some sinew was wrapped around the auger at the end, but it did not detract from the performance of the grinder during the operation. The meat came out with a consistent grind and texture. I debated buying a stuffer before this trial run. I thought I would give the grinder a try at it and see how it worked...BIG mistake. While it does stuff sausages, and admittedly it does stuff them well, let me warn you. You will receive quite a workout stuffing the meat through the auger tube. My buddy and I are both in pretty good shape and we got a good tricep workout pushing 10 lb of meat through this. Clean up - other than the previously mentioned mistake I made, cleanup wasn't too terrible on this unit. It comes apart easily. There are several areas that can be difficult to clean. The corner of the "horn" where the auger meets the hole coming in from the top - I spent some time making sure all the meat got out of there. Also, some of the meat made its way into the thread of the tightening piece that holds the grinder plate on it. Next time I might use a toothbrush to help with some of those areas. I like the attachments that come with the unit and am anxious to make some kibbeh - used to eat it a lot in the Dominican Republic when I lived there. Also I appreciate that it comes with three blades. In all this is a great unit. It is somewhat noisy, but not an issue considering it's grinding meat. I don't expect it to be whisper quiet. My only issues would be with the cleanup (would be nice to be able to detach that top tube from the horn) and the effort required to stuff. If you're planning on stuffing more than 3 lb of sausage at a time, get a stuffer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm trying to determine if this machine will be strong enough to process 2 cows - can it handle continuous use over a few days?**
A: Processing whole animals is a big job. Just for comparison DO check out the mid-upper range LEM grinders. Hunters seem to love them....US built with solid metal throughout. (No plastic gears like $100 grinders) For my yearly grind of under 50 lbs of burgers & pork sausage it's just not worth the higher end prices to me.  I'd say think about spending between  $400-$1000. BTW, Youtube has TONS of videos with REAL people (hunters mostly) who'll demonstrate how their machines perform. Very informative.

**Q: I just purchased this meat grinder .What is the  true wattage and h/p. CF**
A: The motor is obviously not truly 3000w.  I assume this runs off of a standard 120v outlet, and if so, 3000w would require 25 amps of current.  Most home breakers are 15A with 14 gauge wire, although you will see some 20A breakers used with 12 gauge wire (usually to garage outlets, etc.).   It likely runs fine on a 15A breaker, so its maximum wattage would be less than 1800w.  Anything higher and it would kick the breaker.  With that said, 1500w would easily power a motor substantial enough for a home meat grinder.  And be careful not to confuse torque with horsepower.

**Q: is this easy to clean - how many parts involved?**
A: I find the easiest way to clean this unit after grinding meat and making sausage in it, is to put all of the dirty greasy parts in the dishwasher.  PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY DETERGENTS AT ALL. Be certain to set the water temperature to high or just set it to the sanatize setting. The extreme heat from the water will dissolve every bit of fat from any of the metal parts. If you add a dishwasher detergent pack to the cleaning, any and all aluminum parts will oxidize and you will lose that original polished look of the aluminum. I make over 250 pounds of sausage, salami, coppa (cappicolla) every month and my unit still,looks brand new like the day I bought it 2 years ago. If by chance you did ruin the finish on the aluminum, you will need to scrub each piece with a very fine steel wool (0000) grit and then polish each piece with a non toxic aluminum polish.  Good Luck

**Q: Are the gears metal or plastic?**
A: Ben, 
Thank you for reaching out and asking about our STX International Turboforce 3000 Platinum Edition Electric Meat Grinder. The motor is a brush motor that runs the gears. The worm drive is made of 100% hardened carbon steel. The 1st reduction gear is made of POM (Polyoxymethylene) molded onto a hardened carbon steel bushing with a brass insert. The second reduction gear is also made of POM molded onto a hardened carbon steel bushing with a brass insert. The main drive gear is made of 100% hardened carbon steel. 

POM (Polyoxymethylene) is an engineering polymer that is used in many sizes of precision gears that require high stiffness, high abrasion resistance, high heat resistance, low coefficient of friction and excellent dimensional stability. 

We used to have all of the gears in our electric meat grinders made of hardened carbon steel, but in 2008 we changed to having both of our reduction gears made out of the POM/steel. By changing these two gears to POM/steel (although they are more expensive than all steel) our grinders can now take a lot more abuse and they also run much smoother and quieter than a gear system made with all steel gears.

I hope that this was helpful, and if you have any additional questions please feel free to contact us toll free at: 844-861-4762.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on August 7, 2015*

I considered several different brands before I selected the STX international as the right grinder for my needs. I required a machine which had enough power to grind a percentage of chicken bone along with meat in order to prepare a raw food diet for my Bengal cats. This unit has between 600-800watts of power under load, which I correctly assumed would be adequate for my needs. This grinder makes short work of chicken drums/wings etc. no problem. The grinding parts are cast aluminum and clean up beautifully in super hot soapy water. I read the instructions carefully prior to use so as to avoid discoloration and damage to the parts for their first washing and first assembly. As the manual recommends, I keep each blade in a separate plastic container with *Its Mated Cutting Aperture*. According to the manual, this will keep each blade sharper and will extend blade life. I liberally dose each cutting aperture and blade with olive oil to prevent rust. In my opinion, this is a high-quality appliance which will, with proper care and informed maintenance, perform for many years perfectly. As an added bonus, I registered my product online and received a 3 year manufacturers warranty for my trouble. An excellent value included in the price of the machine. **quick update** If you are using this appliance to prepare a raw chicken cat food diet, I strongly advise you to use chicken that is still frozen. Not deep frozen solid, but still somewhat 'crispy'. Otherwise you will end up with clogs and this makes the whole procedure much more time-consuming. Overall, I am incredibly satisfied with this appliance. It is user friendly, grinds boneless beef and pork as though they were marshmallows and for the first time in my life I was able to have a hamburger at slightly under medium temperature because I ground the beef myself from lean, delicious sirloin! As I said, I purchased this item to make a raw diet for cats---but now my husband is after me to make homemade pork sausages every weekend for breakfast! Life's good.
