Grand Product for the price
This is a very honest product. Grinds 20 pounds in 5-7 minutes. Very satisfied.
The only problem, and it might not even be a problem, is that I noticed this ill-lit oil like spots on the ground meat. So I just carefully removed them (it happened 3 or 4 times). Hopefuly it will go away after the first use. Let's see what happens next occasionally I use it.

Fearsome Grinder for Raw Dog Food!
I have been using this grinder to scrape money, but still offer my dog high quality raw meats! I use this grinder on raw chicken quarters (leg and thigh meat). The grinder is great enough to grind all leg and thigh bones with the meat attached (sections that will fit into the grinder opening). Have also used this grinder for organ meats which are key for good pet health. I have been able to reduce my black lab's raw food bill from $40.00 a month to $10.00 a month!

Extensive machine with wide opening
This motor car has a much wider opening than the one we purchased before. It also comes with a medium and medium/large attachment which a lot of other grinders don't common knowledge with.

Fantastic Home Grinder
My Little woman and I decided we wanted to grind our own hamburger and sausage to better control the fat content of our meats. I had worked as a meat cutter indenture in high school and during college back in the days of breaking down sides of beef locally, so I was skeptical that a "diggings meat grinder" would work well. We decided to purchased this same exact grinder at carbelas.com on sale much less expensive than the Waring version. The reviews for this grinder were overwhelmingly postive so I took a probability, and I am glad I did. The grinder works fantastic and the meat comes out better than store bought. I used it to grind up some top sirloin and I didnt trouble to use the plunger to push the meat through. The motor didnt bog down or even blink. I cant wait to try making sausage using some of the old recipes! If you are rational of buying a home grinder, look no further, this one is a winner.

Positively Recommend !
I betrothed to cook and have practically every appliance available. Many items remain in their boxes and are seldom used, but this grinder is an rarity. The idea of buying store-bought ground meats is a real turn off since I have been grinding my own. Most of us have seen or conclude from about what goes in the meat we buy or question the hygiene of the store employees or handlers of the product. That being said, the Waring Pro lives up to all of its peremptory reviews.

Cleanup is easy, especially if it is done right away so parts don't have meat drying and sticking. I air dry and stock the grinding plates in a bag of rice as another reviewer suggested, preventing the need to oil and avoiding the guminess that can be caused with prolonged storage.

The blasting of the motor that some felt was excessive is to me what would be expected from a grinder, it can't do the job and purr like a kitten!

The unit is well made, sturdy, engaging, and gets the job done with ease. No problems with jams or speed and the finished product is a beautiful thing! I also present running bread or crackers through to purge the remains from the meat.

Ground beef is my primary use for this machine and after expansive Internet searches for the best cuts to use, I have found that a combination of chuck and sirloin renders the best flavor, features, and fat content. I trim any silver skin and grizzle from the meat, cube and chill, and run it first through the course grind, then the medial. When sirloin steaks are on sale (typically $2.98 lb. at the local Wegmans) I will ask the butcher for the whole cryovaced segment and purchase an equal amount of chuck at around $2.49 lb. This makes the price of top quality, safe and delicious range beef comparable to the regular priced store-bought. I have found that the texture tends to be softer when using whole cuts rather than trimings so stem the temptation to grind more than twice.

Enormous tool for kitchen
When I purchased the meat grinder, I had reviewed the comments about the yield. But I still decided to give it a try.

It turned out to be a great try:
1. It is easy to be assembled and works perfectly.
2. It is clean and easy to be cleaned.
3. It is lesser and doesn't occupy too much space.

Definitely a good deal (value for money)!

Handles fat and ligaments very well
My fiance and I received this today and were de facto excited to try it out. We had some pork shoulder in the freezer we cut into strips and fed into the grinder. At first I was worried that the grinder was a bit on the small side but it easily ground through the pork, making summary work of the fat and tendons in the meat. The ground was nice and even, not too big, not too small.

The design itself is very sturdy and effective, it's definitely not low-priced plastic. The suction device was very secure and did not budge during the grinding. I have not tried the pasta function since I bought this particularly to grind pork for dumplings.

Overall I am super satisfied, especially since it easily ground a fairy ropy piece of meat very nicely. Would definitely recommend it!

Erratic on first use
During the pasta making activity, after about 20 ziti, the spindle wore against the hopper and ended up melting the spindle. The broken spindle continued to trade, but not as intended. If you don't want plastic in your diet, I would recommend NOT buying this piece of junk.

I can't imagine how it would business for grinding meat if it can't handle pasta dough.

save value
I purchased this grinder for a expensive neighbor couple who had recently sworn off red meat (just red) and were not interested in ingesting whatever they put into chicken and turkey and fish patties/sausages (beaks/claws/whatever, you be familiar with :) Well, this arrived tonight and I brought it over to them. We washed up the parts in warm soapy water, dried wholly, put a couple of chicken breast strips in there and away we cranked.

Fantastic. Then we moved onto turkey boob and we ground it up...on fine was quite perfect. Had no good white fish fillet to try out though we would probably get a be like result.

This thing rocks. The instructions are a bit sparse but anybody with some previous knowledge of a grinder (like I had with a Waring Pro) could see out the theory and implementation. The reason I am giving it only 4 stars is the lack of a decent manual or more than two recipes.

My titanic old electric grinder had a kazillion parts and was quite temperamental. I remember giving up the big heavy electric core grinding/sausage thing when it started injecting heavy black grease onto the ground meat. I then fair went to a butcher and picked out cuts for them to grind in front of me. But this is a Terrific Choice for a single or couple at best wanting to grind a bit of white meat here and there. We have not tried out the pasta maker yet - only had it one night. I don't think the design is optimal for such but it did such a well-known job on the poultry I am sure they will have a go at rigatoni too!

A perilous grinder
I like this grinder.

In the background I've owned the metal grinders that you have to clamp to a table and the electric kind with big motors that take up most of the space on the scullery counter. They were so clumsy and a pain to clean that I seldom used either one. The electric one failed recently grinding peanuts!! and the old metal instructions one got left behind in the last move so I decided to try this Nor-Pro despite it being made partly of plastic.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well it works. You do have to assemble the blades correctly. My first activity was meatballs -- it ground the meat(buffalo stew meat in this case), the onions, a little garlic, packet stems and leaves, and the dry bread all very nicely into the square bowl which is included with the grinder. I grind my own meat to avoid the fat and "parts" from supermarket hamburger. The rude grind is just right for tacos or wonton filling. Cleanup was easy - I put the pieces in the satisfying bowl, added some hot water and a squirt of detergent and it was all clean in a few minutes and ready to use for the next meal. The collateral pieces fit into a small plastic ziplock bag along with the basic instructions so they are not likely to get separated or lost. The rectangular wheel is attractive enough and the right size to take to table to serve sushi or gyoza.

The plastic is nice unfaltering plastic like that in Lego toys. You do need to have a smooth countertop for the suction to work to stabilize the theme(it doesn't work on my butcher-block table). It looks nice sitting on the counter so there it stays and gets inured to a lot. I only use my blender for smoothies nowadays. Nuts and beans and all sorts of other foods get ground in this little grinder.

One needs to baby sure the pasta dough is not too moist... it takes a little practice.

The vegetables and cooked meats typically adapted to for sandwich salads grind very nicely - even celery. So it is great when preparing lunches for brown bag or picnics. It also does a acute job of grinding garlic for garlic bread and/or salad dressing... saves my hands from smelling like garlic forever.

I'm hand-handed and it is still easy for me to use.
