A nice grinder
By JK
I like this grinder.
In the past 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 kitchen 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 manual 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 project was meatballs -- it ground the meat(buffalo stew meat in this case), the onions, a little garlic, mint 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 coarse grind is just right for tacos or wonton filling. Cleanup was easy - I put the pieces in the square 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 extra 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 bowl is attractive enough and the right size to take to table to serve sushi or gyoza.
The plastic is nice sturdy plastic like that in Lego toys. You do need to have a smooth countertop for the suction to work to stabilize the base(it doesn't work on my butcher-block table). It looks nice sitting on the counter so there it stays and gets used 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 make sure the pasta dough is not too moist... it takes a little practice.
The vegetables and cooked meats typically used for sandwich salads grind very nicely - even celery. So it is great when preparing lunches for brown bag or picnics. It also does a nice job of grinding garlic for garlic bread and/or salad dressing... saves my hands from smelling like garlic forever.
I'm left-handed and it is still easy for me to use.

Perfect
By Eyeconic
Don't be put off by the low price. This thing does exactly what it is expected to do exactly as one would expect it to do it.
Even the priciest gourmet food store does not clean its meat grinder to my satisfaction. Your medium rare burger is going to contain some medium rare pork as well.
Anyway, this thing replaces an attachment on my Kitchenaid stand mixer. It is easier, faster and simpler to clean. I love the way this thing adheres to the counter. Three pound meatloaf of beef, pork and veal took just 10 minutes. DEFINITELY put the meat in the freezer for about an hour before grinding. Cut the meat into strips. It only takes a few minutes to figure out what works well and what does not. For burgers, you might want to run the meat through twice.
I haven't a clue why some of these reviews are negative. Perhaps they assembled the mechanism incorrectly.

must have for the kitchen
By DPJ
After Fox news told me about "pink slime" going into the ground meat that I buy at the supermarket I decided to grind the meat myself. Read a lottttttt of reviews and took away a little from each. For instance, J. Ferguson said to cut the meat in strips. Elaborating on that I advise you to cut the meat in strips the size of your middle finger. Another reviewer said to place the meat in the freezer for about 20 min. because it'll slice easier and if you try to grind the meat while it's real soft it'll squirt juice all over the place. The grinder is a lot smaller than the picture would have you believe. The hopper is only about the size of a 1 cup measuring container.
I was only interested in hamburger meat so I bought two five pound rump roasts which is ground round (after it's ground) for $2.88 a pound on sale. Grinder was on the way. Put the roasts in the freezer for about 30 min. Sliced steaks off the roast about as thick as my middle finger. Then I cut the steaks into strips and length about the size of my middle finger. When the grinder arrived I put all the strips in the freezer for about two hours. Read the instructions on the grinder, took it apart, washed everything and put it back together. Anchored the grinder to the countertop and when the meat was rigid enough I started grinding.Remember, the idea of partially freezing the meat is so that it doesn't squirt juice all over the place. Grinder never came unstuck. You have to use that big white tool that comes with the grinder to lock it to the countertop by turning the locking nut until you feel it lock. While grinding you can't just drop the meat into the hopper and expect the auger to catch it and push it into the blade. You need to take each strip and drop one end into the auger while turning the handle until the auger catches it and pushes it through the blades. After you've done one or two strips you get into a rhythm of feeding the grinder while turning the handle and the process goes very fast. Had to stop once because a strip had a tendon that would not feed through the blade. Just turned the handle backwards while pulling on the tendon until most of it was sticking out and I cut it off with a knife. Went back to grinding.
Unlike a couple of reviewers I found it easy to clean, it stayed anchored and turning the handle took minimal effort.Remember that if you tighten the large round ring that screws on the end and holds everything together too tight you will not be able to turn the handle. What you should do is anchor the unit and start turning the handle. If it is hard to turn loosen the ring until the handle turns freely.
Happy with my purchase. Recommend it to anyone that needs a grinder for home use.
