KitchenAid KSMFGA Food Grinder Attachment for Stand Mixers, Plastic Stainless Steel, White

we have been making our own mince for a year now, as supermarket mince seems to be 50% water. The previous machine was "clockwork" and tended to jam up with fat/gristle/sinew/whatever but this attachment just draws in the meat and delivers lovely mince all the time. Now my son and wife fight over who does it. No workout for me but hey, who cares!

Perfect just what we needed and so easy to clean and use

easy to assemble onto machine, very efficient even mince.

Love this addition to my stand mixer, homemade burgers mmm.

Absolutely brilliant

We DID NOT get the red part for the grinder!

I love my KA, so I bought this as my cat only eats raw food. Whilst it is very easy to set up and I love that I haven't got yet another appliance on my kitchen surface, the mechanism gets clogged very easily, I have tried strips, chunks and small pieces, but it more often than not gets wound around the blade and the spiral feeder. The white plastic cover also gets a buildup of meat in the thread - it needs a washer of some kind to prevent this happening. I feel that the blade is not substantial enough to cut the meat if it has sinew or skin. None of the pieces are dishwasher safe and cleaning is a bit of a nightmare, again due to the meat getting clogged in the parts. Quite often when I grind the next time, some of the bits of meat come out with a silvered colour on them - not sure what this is!So in conclusion - great space saver, does a basic job, hard to clean, wouldn't buy it again!

The mincer works well, no problems, but on those tough bits that need to go through twice, the dish on the top is simply too small.
