Sunmile SM-G50 ETL Electric Meat Grinder - Max 1.3 HP 1000W Heavy Duty Meat Mincer Sausage Grinder - Metal Gears, Reverse, Circuit Breaker, Stainless Steel Cutting Blade and Plates, 1 Sausage Stuffs

We recently adopted sibling kittens from a litter that had been abandoned the day they were born. Our dogs' groomer fostered (and bottle fed) the litter until they were ready, and in her shop she sells natural pet products. She got me hooked on the raw food diet and pine pellet kitty litter. But sustaining the expense of feeding raw food to two growing kittens was becoming a concern.I found the Feline Nutrition website, which has a great recipe for raw cat food. The recipe is fantastic, but the grinder they recommended was... well, we would never be able to spend that kind of money to make pet food. I didn't have much hope that we'd find a 1 hp meat grinder that could handle chicken thigh bones, but in reading the reviews it seemed like maybe this one could.I got my unit Friday, bought the chicken and other ingredients and spent Saturday learning the entire process. It was my first time, so it was a long day - but I learned so much! I'm happy to report this meat grinder performed extremely well. It chewed up the bones, but did leave the white joint caps behind in the auger. I didn't know what to expect regarding noise level - but it wasn't too bad. The components are very easy to install, very easy to clean, and I love that the cord and discs can fit into a compartment in the back of the unit.The instruction booklet was fine, but I was confused by the instruction to use vegetable oil before first use. It didn't give any indication of where the vegetable oil should be applied. I applied oil to the components that seemed logical - the ones accessible to me. I didn't have any problems. I don't think that's worth deducting points for.I would also like to thank the seller for their decision to cancel my first order. At first I was afraid they were just jacking up the price. Not so! The unit was damaged at the shipping location, apparently, and they canceled the order and asked me to re-order if I still wanted the item. The price was the same when I re-ordered, and I received extremely prompt shipping. I'm so thankful I didn't receive a broken unit, and have 12 lbs of chicken thighs sitting around waiting for a working meat grinder.I'll be doing this food production routine once a month, and I will update this review should anything change to make me less positive. For now, I'm thrilled to have found an affordable alternative to the high priced unit the Feline Nutrition website recommended.

Dang, this thing has a lot of torque! While prepping to make kielbasa and bratwurst, this churned through 20 pounds of pork belly, pork shoulder, and beef chuck in less than 15-20 minutes. I had always used my grandparent's old hand cranked grinder that I motorized and it seriously took all afternoon to accomplish the same task. Yeah, sure, this lacks the charm of 1930's cast iron but I'll forgive it because it can do the work. Easy to clean and assemble. It takes standard #10/12 dies which was a big selling point for me and came with a nice assortment too. The smallest die I used to emulsify the bratwurst, it might be nice for making pate too. I did need to use the grinder's "breaker reset" just once while I was grinding ice cubes to switch between meats. No sinew or stringy fats caught between the blade and auger, I didn't have to stop to clean it out until finished. I'll recommend this grinder to anyone based on my first use.

I bought this grinder after reading several reviews. I am a raw feeder for my pup, but do not need it for grinding bone as my boy really enjoys his raw meaty bones whole. Assembly was very easy following the directions. Once up and running I started grinding the meat using the course grind attachment and was somewhat underwhelmed at the speed of this machine. You have to cut the meat into smaller chunks for it to be fed through the shoot and into the auger which I feel kind of defeats the purpose as far as saving time. It's a little loud but not ear piercing. Disassembly and cleaning the parts in warm soapy water is easy. I did not keep this machine long enough to speak on the longevity of the parts and am in search of a more powerful unit.

We have been using this for several months now and its working great. We grind quail to make dog and cat food.

I just have had it for two days and have ground up just over 350 lbs. Of venison. I double ground all of it, like I always do and this thing really ate it up fast. The meat was not trimmed as well as normal because I wanted to test out the grinder, it never plugged up once. I don't know how long it will last but looks good so far. now for the things I don't like, the case is plastic which is ok but it has several places where bits of meat can get in such as the switches that are not sealed well enough, and the storage compartment. In the description it says that is a 1.3 hp motor at 350 watts, that does not add up especially when the book in the box says a little over 500 watts. Like most things today it is made in China just saying, I have found no faults. I found other grinders that say they are 2000 watts however most outlets are 15 amp and that is 1500-1600 watts it just doesn't add up, so don't let that fool you when you are looking for a grinder. This motor has plenty of power even with half frozen meat.

La compre para moler pollo, en la indicaciones aparece que no muele huesos pero de momento he molido, alas de pollo completas y el hueso que viene con la pechuga, sigue funcionando perfectamente así que para realizar dieta barf sirve, aclaro que hago máximo 10 libras de carne al día.

It has a small chute.Opening where you put the meat in could be a bit bigger.And it’s loud.The noise is obnoxious.Kind of annoying.But it grinds well enough.I’m an old butcher so I guess I’m spoiled.
