Sunmile Electric Meat Grinder and Sausage Maker - 1HP 1000W Max - Stainless Steel Cutting Blade and 3 Grinding Plates,1 Big Sausage Staff Maker, White

So far I've made three pounds of country sausage (Alton Brown's recipe--if you're Southern you know) and am pleased with the grinder's performance. I was pretty thorough in reading the directions and chilled the metal parts in the freezer while I cut up a chunk of CostCo pork loin, being sure to trim some fat the from the remaining loin to add to my chunks, which I seasoned and chilled, popping the meat into the freezer for a bit before grinding--the chunks definitely weren't frozen. I assembled the metal parts according to the directions and got down to grinding. The grinder is not particularly quiet but made short work of the grind and I was pleased with the performance--the motor seems plenty strong. Overall, the grinder is quite compact and will be easy to store. Build quality seems good, the metal parts are light but well made and the blade and dies are solid and sharp. I washed all the metal parts by hand and found the auger housing a bit difficult to clean, but didn't have the proper tools on hand, so that should be remedied in the future. The unit grinds quickly and efficiently and I feel like I could process some large amounts of sausage or ground beef without difficulty. This batch of sausage was bulk, so I have not tried using the stuffing tub to make cased sausage. So far, I am pleased with the purchase and think it was money well spent. I purchased this because the accessory hub on my KitchenAid stand mixer went bad and I couldn't use my KA meat grinder attachment any more. I think this unit outperforms my old KA grinder attachment.

Works like a charm to grind fresh meat for making home made sausage. I've ground 12 lbs of pork for sausage, so far. Next I'll grind chicken breast. It runs very smoothly and cleans up easily.

Absolutely in love with this machine! I had an American brand for 15 years and needed a replacement and I picked this one. I have used it about 10 times so far and it is pure pleasure. The white is the look I was after as I simply like white appliances that come inc contact with food in any way because it feels more hygienic. also it shows easily any dirt so that way you know when clean is clean. The machine is super simple to use, there is nothing really to it.. you put it together in few fast tiger moves, then you grind your meats or what have you and then you disassemble, wash.. dry .. reassemble. Some people were giving some neg reviews and I am glad I did not listen as it would be miss fortunate choice. Looks like there are a lot of people out there who do not have experience with using electric grinder so they use it and leave nonsense review that have nothing to do with reality. One of the thing I see often is .. people do not have a concept of putting the cutting knife the right way.. it is really simple it has to be the flat side facing the round circle with holes not the other way around... The other thing is.. people struggle with putting it together because there is a VERY SIMPLE trick to it .. they miss: you DO NOT ASSEMBLE THE METAL PARTS AND THEN FORCE IT INTO THE GRINDER! NOPE.. the actual way is to do step by step to assemble it into the grinder.. so first you fit in the L shape piping situation, then you fid into the snail thingy and then you fit the knife, the holly circle and then you screw the face ring. then you put on the plastic white feeder and you are done. It is not really a rocket science but while some meat grinders can be assambled by putting together the parts and then fitting it into the engine part this one really I can not do so that step by step is easy and fast. To take off the metal part you use the little button on the face of the grinder and you done. It has two direction .. the right and the reverse.. reverse you can use if something get kind of blocked .. so you hit reverse and it will push things backwards.. then flip to forward and you are in business again. I love how fast and furious it is. I never timed it but one pound of meat goes through it like nothing.. I need to check how long but I would think it is really just few seconds.. it truly JUST GOES THROUIGH IT that fast! It came with the pipe for sausage making which is amazing as it makes sausage making process easy. Super easy to make fresh italian sausage just like the store bought but so much healthier at home.. you just find a recipe online, it is only meat and few spices.. you grind it.. mix, let sit for a bit in the fridge or not... and staff it into the casing. casing is that thin skin on the sausage that make sausage a sausage... Getting Casing is not a problem if you have any market nearby that sells fresh sausages in the fridge counter .. where is a butcher.. if there is a butcher and a fresh sausages there is a casing! All you have to do is ask and he will give you as much as you need for your batch of sausage.. usually two three pounds makes sense to make.. you can freeze it and have it ready whenever you like. .. casing for sausage usually is about a dollar per how much you need to put one pound and butcher usually just throws in a yard or so extra just so you won't run out of it.. Alternatively you can buy casing on amazon but it will come dry and salty and you have to soak and wash it while t he one that butcher sells you will be wet and ready to go.. I just love this machine so much that makes me cook more. If I could improve something I would wish for the metal parts to be stainless but the only stainless parts are the knife and the holes circle... so technically it is enouogh as they come with contact with meat and force and the rest that is most likely aluminum is not stainless but I also can live with it as the meat is cold and the process is so fast that unlike cooking in aluminum that food won't really react with the metal so I am okay with it.. However, do not place the metal parts into the dishwasher as it will turn it very dark which is normal for aluminum behavior and then you will loose the nice shine. I usually dump the metal parts into the dishwasher liquid and water bath in a bowl and let it soak for some minutes and then wash it by hand and dry it. That's all. Have a fun using it and many delicious dishes ahead!

I have tried this one only a couple of time, it gets the job done, does not get hot while using it, the construction feel some kind of flimsy but does not interfere with the way it works. You will need a box or bag to storage it because all the removable parts it has.

Very impressive meat grinder in this price range. After grinding around 200 lbs of pork, chicken, & beef over the last few months, I am very happy with this purchase. Quick and easy assembly/disassembly, along with being easy to clean, makes this grinder a pleasure to use. Powers through 40 lbs of pork loin in about 20 minutes without straining. I've use this to make spicy pork breakfast sausage and beef snacks for the family, much to their delight. Sage and crushed red peppers are the main ingredients to make a great spicy breakfast sausage. I also use this to grind meats for homemade dog food for (2) Golden Retrievers. 50% pork, chicken breast, or beef, 25% yams or rice, 25% green beans. Cost to make is actually less than a high quality kibble at today's prices. Definitely have seen a boost in energy in both dogs after a couple of weeks. Tips 1. Partially frozen meats grind better than chilled meats. After slicing, place meat into freezer 20-30 minutes before grinding. 2. Trim fatty layers off and dice into 3/4" cubes, feed them with your lean cuts to distribute the fat evenly. 3. Slicing meats into long strips is faster to cut/grind than little chunks. Especially long cuts like whole pork loin. The single negative for me was that I was unable to stuff sausage casings for beef snack sticks through a 1/2" stuffing horn. Not surprising since nearly ALL countertop grinders are incapable also. Small diameter stuffing horns require a stuffing press in my experience. Overall, a great meat grinder with plenty of power, easy to use and clean. 100% satisfied with this purchase.

I’m very happy with this meat grinder! It’s powerful, grinds meat quickly, and the stainless steel cutting plates are easy to switch for different textures. The sausage-making attachment works great, and assembly and cleaning are simple.

I am very impressed with the quality of this grinder especially considering the low cost and quiet motor. I was looking for a way to ease my preparation of fresh pet food for my doggies. I tried blenders, food processors, choppers, etc. that all made the process too labor intensive. This grinder was the best solution. I was able to grind the cooked carrots, peas, sweet potato, and de-boned rotisserie chicken with the greatest of ease. Bottom line, this grinder is my new favorite, essential kitchen gadget. The grinder has given me the incentive to grind other things. My next project is to grind boneless, skinless chicken breast with spinach and feta cheese to make healthy burgers. I am also thinking that this great grinder will make a great gift. AAA+++ 100% satisfaction.

This electric meat grinder is very efficient and easy to use. It grinds meat quickly and evenly, saving a lot of time compared to manual methods. The machine feels sturdy and well-made, and the parts are easy to clean after use.
