A Great Grinder/Stuffer,
March 7, 2007
By Sausagekingfrom Annapolis, MD
"I did a great deal of research before selecting this grinder. Suffice it to say, this is a great product at a great price and I have found no others that come close in quality in this price range. My Grinder/Sausage Stuffer came with 3 stuffing tubes while the product specs listed only one ( pleasant surprise). I use it primarily for grinding and stuffing all types of sausage. It is a superior product with all metal food contact parts. The "ON" switch can also be "pulsed" by pushing it in partway, an important feature when stuffing sausage. All the critical parts can be easily removed for cleaning (and boiling) if you sterilize the unit after using (which you should).
The only improvement that could possibly be made is not with the product, but with the instruction manual. The manual instructs you to remove the grinder plate and cutter when installing the stuffing tube for stuffing sausage. This will not work as the grinder plate also serves as the front bearing surface for the auger. When removed, the auger is not supported at the front and will work its way out from the motor housing connection socket. (no big deal as it comes out for cleaning anyway, but you can't stuff sauges in this configuration). So, I put the grinder plate and blade back in, then put on the stuffing tube and "wala", it worked like a charm. So if you choose, grind and stuff in one operation. If you choose not to do it this way, put in the larger grinding plate when you get ready to stuff so you don't get a "double grind" that is finer than you desire!
I can't say enough good about this machine. It is heavier duty than any I have found in this price range, has a powerful motor and the grinding disks (3 sizes come with the machine) and cutter blade appear to be made from tool steel. The auger, collar, auger housing, and meat tray are all cast aluminum. It has built in cord storage and wieghs more than you would expect. Kudos to Northern Tool, they scored a winner with this product!"

Great value, great product-Highly recommend.,
March 7, 2007
By romovafrom Leesburg VA
"The meat grinder has worked very well for me, better than I expected for the cost of the unit compared to other models I evaluated. I bought it as an interim solution until I could get a larger HP unit, but am thinking now I won't need it. I was very surprised how quickly it ground a deer without cutting it into small pieces, as i'd had to do previously with a comparably priced unit. I also didn't have any problems with it clogging with connective tissue or tendon-surprisingly as I just ran the meat through to give it a good test. It didn't even slow down. The cutter was clean when done, unlike others I had to clean out several times while processing a deer. It is also an unusual cutter blade, shaped like a propellor pushing the meat towards the cutting disk, unlike others that were just a flat knife. It saved alot of time and aggravation. I never got a chance to try to reversing switch as it wasn't needed, but if/when it will be good. The storage area that allows keeping the parts with the unit was something I really like too. Cord storage was nice too. A great value, I would highly recommend."

Gettin' it done fast,
November 23, 2006
By CaptEfrom Missouri
"My good friend and hunting buddy recently used my newly purchased grinder to process meat from two deer we took during the high power season here in MO. We ground a little over 60 pounds of venison in a little over 20 minutes. Last year with a hand grinder it took well over two hours to grind a comprable amount of meat. The grinder preformed flaulessly. It never strained no matter how fast we were pushing the meat into it, and the strainer never clogged. The three strainers along with the metal pan, and grinding head make this a very versitile product. Clean up was easy, just put all of the moving parts in the dish washer. I would recommend that the steel strainer head be removed after the wash cycle and hand dried then coated with some oil to prevent rusting. P.S. My friend was so impressed with the performance of my grinder, he has asked me to order one for him. ."

By horseshoefrom Trout, Louisiana
"I have never used a meat grinder but have always wanted to make my own pork pan sausage and link deer sausage. This grinder is awesome. Not hard to operate, simple to assemble/ disassemble, and comes with all the parts you need to make great sausage. The directions are a little unclear on the correct way to assemble the cutter, but thanks to the reviews I read before purchase, I had no problems putting it all together. Thanks Northern for a great product."

Northern Industrial Electric Meat Grinder,
August 13, 2008
By keeblerfrom London, AR
"I found this a very user friendly product to work with. This grinder way exceeded my expectations as the price is very reasonable. The only problem I have encountered with this product is figuring out a way to stuff without grinding through the cutting plate as I wanted to stuff Boudan. Other than that without investing hundreds of dollars this meat grinder is of exceptional quality."

Best Meat Grinder for Home,
August 11, 2008
By Essamfrom Los Angeles
"I was really looking for a product that can handle the grinding of soaked beans to make Falafel (a Middle Eastern and also Jewish food). I tried a couple of famous names but they were not up to this tough job. Although beans were soaked for 24 hours in water, they were not really that soft like meat. That is why those other machines could not really do the job and I had to use the reverse button a lot.
With the Northern Industrial Meat Grinder, I was able to do about 6 pounds of beans mixed with about 4 pounds of other vegetables in less than 1 hour. I actually passed that stuff two times through the grinder to get it smoother. As an Engineer, I was impressed with the quality and safety of this product. Again, it is meant for home use.
I believe it is an excellent addition to your home kitchen at a bargain price.
It was very easy to clean the machine without two much hassle.
If you are looking for a home grinder for meat or vegetables, this is the one."
