Geepas Electric Meat Grinder 1800W – Stainless Steel Meat Mincer & Sausage Stuffer, Food Grinding Mincing Machine with Kibbe – 3 Different Cutting Plates, Reverse Function, Plastic Housing (Black)

This machine does exactly what it says and is compact and yet quite sturdy

Arrived very quickly. It was very easy to put together after washing all the parts as instructed. I used the mincer with the medium plate in and it worked brilliantly. In the instructions, it states to mince through 3 times, well in my opinion it worked fine just once. I mince sirloin beef and lamb which I was able to vacuum pack and freeze.I think this product would also be great for vegetables, making veggie burgers or veggie sausages, plus, if you want minced onions, this will be great.I wish I had brought this earlier as every 3 months I buy bulk meat so this is going to be very very handy.

Needs attention to detail at manufacture as the Feed Screw is wobbly which causes the Feed hopper to rock slightly in use. Machine works well enough but with a balanced feed screw it would be perfect.

Great for a multitude of products neat and compact

For the cost this grinder works well, however it's worth adding some further detail. A lot of the reviews talk about grinding up bone-in chicken thigh for dog food however I purchased this unit based on being an amateur home sausage maker looking to up his game a bit.The grinder itself is fairly simple to use and quite intuitive. The 'drive shaft' is metal and so is the screw, blade and tubing which is why I picked it and paid slightly more over others that had plastic. The only plastic on this unit (that I could see without taking it apart) is the housing over the motor. It comes with 3 appropriately sized plates which are perfect for sausage making and cleans easily enough. (see below)The reason I've not rated this product higher is it's performance on meats other than chicken. Yes, it cuts through chicken like butter. I've not tried grinding bone as I've no interest in bonemeal in my sausage. With pork and beef the usual advice for sausage making is to get the meat partially frozen as colder meat grinds better. This unit does struggle with partially frozen meat and the speed of grind slows and the pitch of the motor indicates it's struggling. When this happens the blade begins to warm up and post grind you can see a lovely grease stained smear of fat that sat around the base of the blade. It doesn't ruin the meat quality but it is annoying to clean after and if you wanted to grind more than a kilo you'd need to disassemble and clean mid-way through.The biggest 'fall down' point for this grinder is when you try to put the meat through for a second grind through a more fine plate. It just does not work. If you're doing an emulsification just go straight for the smallest plate and work up the protein bond by hand after.Overall I'm not upset I bought this machine at this price at the minute, however with continued use if the machine still struggles and breaks within 12 months I'd be annoyed.

Easy to use had so much fun playing with sausage

Oh dear! It was so difficult to put the mincer unit on the machine, REALLY difficult. Then it had difficulty mincing our butchers pork meat. It took 2 hours to mincer 600g. Then we took off the mincer attachment to clear blockage and couldn't fit it back on. Total waste of money. The plastic wheel on the machine also ended up looking totally chewed. Very sad as it was my hubby's birthday prezzie.

I love this little mincer,it’s great and easy to use and quick,and it’s easy to clean and to put back togetherWould recommend this item
