Product works great! LEM customer service is also fantastic. Spend the extra cash and buy a good one. It's truly a quality product. I have feeling my kids kids will be using this long after I'm gone. It is HEAVY and LARGE so make sure you have space in your pantry for it.

LOVE THIS GRINDER!!!

I bought this to make my raw prep easier. I currently have 6 dogs so prep takes FOREVER. I also breed and wean puppies onto raw so ground meat is usually better in the beginning, but since puppies have to be fed balanced meals every time I was stuck with kibble...until now! This grinder cut my prep time way down and made portioning SO much easier. I just bought a giant rubbermade tote and I grind everything into it for all 6 dogs and the puppies, mix it up, and then portion it out. It takes longer to weigh and bag it than it does to grind it! This grinder worked flawlessly! The best investment I've made in a long time.

The only thing I will say is be wary of Amazon's suggestion to buy the meat lug along with the grinder. It doesn't fit under the neck! You won't be able to have the grinder and the lug on the same counter/table you will have to hang the grinder off of the counter and put the lug on a lower surface somehow. LEM didn't think that one through. Luckily I have an island with wheels I just put the grinder on the island and the lug on the table. But if you don't have a setup like that you might want to find a lug that is shorter.

DO buy the foot pedal though if you're going to be doing a lot of starting and stopping or pausing to reload the meat pan!

I read a lot of reviews on meat grinders and searching for one that met my exspectation. This one does exactly what people are saying in there reviews. Very fast and does not bog down when putting a large long piece of meet in it. What accually sold me on this grinder was all the attachments you can get to go with this grinder, looking at getting the juicer attachment, and the five year warranty.
Would highly recommended getting the asesesory kit for this grinder. It comes with a foot peddle to turn the grinder off and on, brushes to clean it, package taper, and spray to keep it looking new. Made it very easy to use the the grinder and clean it. Looking forward to using it. Also Lem has a lot of products to go with this grinder. This not a wimpy grinder and is to be used alot. At this time I would recommend this grinder.

This is a great product... Went through 10 pounds of beef in no time and product looked great... The stuffing process did not work as well... it worked, but I would suggest getting a stuffer instead. Even with the Big Bite technology... the item did not take such good bites of already processed meat... overall, this is a great machine... I also wish it came with an intermidiate blade or have extra blades be readily available.

The machine was very quite for its size and indeed did a great job. The storage space is too small to fit anything but the blades... If all the other components are the same, not sure is there is true added value in getting this item when compared to the older model which does not have the storage compatment.

Expensive but worth it. Buying a big brand name like LEM meant I had access to all kinds of attachments.
