VillaWare V5267 Elite ProGrinder Electric Meat Grinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am on a very restrictive diet. Since I require extremely lean meats I must know the quality of the meats in ground products. I needed a quality meat grinder to prepare my own ground meats. This machine does a fabulous job. So far I have used it on beef, pork, chicken, and turkey. All have been speedily ground to perfection using one or more of the 3 interchangeable coarseness plates. The machine has never clogged and the powerful motor makes quick work of the task. It is stable when in use and the suction cup feet keep it in place. The only negatives as far as I am concerned are the noisiness of the operation and the lengthly but necessary task of cleaning the machine when the job is done - both of which I expected anyway. Fortunately, the machine is easy to disassemble and reassemble. Since I buy large quantities of the meats that I wish to process when they are on sale though, I can freeze enough to last a good long time and the cleanings are infrequent. I've used other grinders with less powerful motors and been disappointed in the results. If you are serious about grinding your own, this is the one to get.

Northern Industrial #12 Electric Stainless Steel Meat Grinder - 5/8 HP Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This appliance is not for the average home kitchen, but might appeal to foodies who are serious about charcuterie (sausages, patés etc.) or to others who make ground meats on a regular basis, or even pet foods. I think it would also be suitable for caterers or smaller restaurants.
For the home kitchen, it's main downside is it's weight and bulk - the chore of lugging it to or from it's storage space might make you wonder why you bought it. However, if you use it frequently (as you should, if you bought it), you'll probably leave it out and use it often. If you've been used to the "grrr... grrr... grrr..." sound of a KitchenAid grinder attachment, then you'll appreciate the "wzzzz... wzzz...wzzz..." sound of he Northern.
The made-in-China fit and finish of some parts are funky, but remain fully functional - the worm is no longer polished as it once was, and the blades (2 are included) may need flattening on a whetstone before use. Because of this, I would have rated this product 4 1/2 stars - however, my experience with Northern's customer service dept. warrants a 5 star rating - if there are any problems, they will make it right.

Weston Stainless Steel Chum Grinder, Manual with Cutting Board Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this meat grinder to use for making my own chum for fishing, and I have to say this grinder is EXCELLENT! It is all stainless steel so it should not rust, it grinds up fish EASILY and in seconds, and comes with 2 different plates for coarse or fine chum. It assembles easily, and the chute really helps keep your boat clean. It is also the lightest #32 meat grinder I could find (A awesome pro if you are going to be putting it in and out of the rod holder), and #32 meat grinders are the biggest non-commercial grinders. It also comes with a plastic plunger and shovel to protect your fingers while grinding which is are very handy accessories. It has a slot in the cutting board for the shovel (or a pair of pliers) but not for the plunger, but I just bore my own hole for the plunger. I also use the handy knife slot on the cutting board and can say it is secure.
I do have a few cons that I want to share though. It really will only work in ONE of your rod holders, so pick which one you want carefully, as to adjust it correctly for a different side of your boat requires some disassembly and reassembly. Also, I had to bore two new holes in the rod holder where it connects to the cutting board in order to make the cutting board flush with my boat edge -- there are only 3 options out of the package. The cutting board is sturdy but I still use a piece of wood running along the underside of the cutting board to make it even more stable and less wobbly.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this grinder as it is the cheapest stainless steel and cutting board combination #32 meat grinder I could find.
