Customers say

Customers like the performance of the electric food mill grinder. They say it works well enough for small batch production and works great for hunting season. They are also happy with ease of use, and value. On the other hand, customers are not happy with the sturdiness, lock and noise. They mention that the front ring nut cracked and the head assembly onto the grinder motor comes detached while grinding. They also are concerned about the locking mechanism and noise level. Opinions are mixed on quality and cleanability.

Small pieces of metal in the meat

Small pieces of metal in the meat
The assembly was easy. the motor got too hot during the process so I had to let it rest for a bit. I was grinding the lamb meat which didn't have any bone. It was all meat and fat. I wanted to grind it twice. First time seemed fine, but then when I put the meat back for the second round, I noticed the blackish pieces of meat on the dish. At first I thought that it might be the meat getting dark, but nope. When I opened it up, I saw the black metals around the grinding plate, front ring, and also grinder head (look at the pictures). I have no idea where they have been scratched from.I also read in the reviews that it makes paste instead of ground meat. I think when you put so much fat, it blocks the plate and it makes it more like paste, but when you put proper meat, it will be a nice grinder (if it doesn't have metal in it).

I bought this to make dog food. Eventually perhaps people food too. I found mine for over $50 less at the warehouse. Then after reading the reviews more thoroughly I became unsure and ordered another one. and then another one and tried to cancel the 2nd one. But it was too late. The third one arrives today. They are both STX.

6 months ago i bought a Weston pro. Magnificent machine but nearly 40 lbs! I didn't want such a heavy one so I returned it. Then I bought the Kitchen Aid attachment grinder. Seemed to work very well. I was using it to grind chicken bones. But when I couldn't find chicken necks I bought wings and they bound it up. Probably the skin. My husband got it loose. But then earlier this week I was just grinding chicken meat and it got bound up again. So, I ordered this Weston. In spite of the reviews it seems like a great 5lb. machine. The review for this machine include another Weston of lesser power. I just did 23 lbs of chicken and beef and they didn't have to be semi frozen.

As for breaking in four months; like at least two reviewers said, it will still be under warranty. I like that the gears are metal. It is noisy but not as noisy as my Blender on high. One of the reviews noted that the locking lever does not stay down. That is true. But I just cut off a little less than a 1/2" end off of a wine cork and then cut that in half. Then I pushed it into the hole to jam the lever down/locked during grinding. Pulled it out easily to clean the head. Very happy with my purchase.

Easy to assemble and use. And also super easy to clean. I use it to make raw cat food out of whole chicken, bones and organs (there's also vitamins involved... I use a nutritional recipe). I make sure to take off all the skin and I don't grind the wings, since those are hard to get the skin off. And the one time I chose to grind the wings, the skin from those got wrapped around the blade and got jammed. It says you're not supposed to grind bones, but I do. And I did 2 chickens, one after another to test the motor. Shutting the grinder off for a couple of minutes to cool off in between. It is fabulous. It's my favorite part of the whole process. The only annoying thing about it (maybe I got a dud), the lock for the front bit doesn't stay locked. It wiggles about, when the grinder is operating. So I have to be mindful and periodically push it into locked position. Other than that I love it. And my cat is healthy and wont eat anything else but her raw chicken.
Cleaning it is sooo easy too. And it just looks very well made. So far I processed about 10-12 chickens with it. I hope it lasts!

We adopted two cats who have lived on a raw food diet, and bought this grinder specifically to make their food. I ran 40 lbs cut chicken leg quarters, with bones, 8 lbs chicken hearts, 4 lbs chicken livers, and it ran like a charm. It was a lot of grinding for one session, but I didn't have any issues. That is a two-month supply of raw cat food all done in one session. It was so much fun, I might even use it for people food :-)

At first the grinder was awesome. I've grinded over 30lbs of meat so far and had it sit up for a few weeks. I get the grinder out along with my chilled meat, and start the process. After the first cube of meat I noticed an unusual sound and the meat didn't come through.. I stopped the grinder and unlock it to pull the rotary and blade out; cleared the meat and reassembled and started the machine up again. As I looked at the blade I noticed it wasn't rotating as usual to feed and grind the meat. Just as I suspected something internal broke and in the beginning of my process. This machine should last longer than what it did! Very dissatisfied with this product! Buyers beware! If you are looking for a product that's durable THIS ISN'T IT!

Works great, the only issue is that the hopper latch that secures the hopper to the drive housing doesn't have a detent or positive lock so it works its way loose during use. We are always having to push it back down while grinding meat.

We bought STX Internationl Turboforce 3500 TFHD believing this was the best choice. What a waste of money! The meat had to be semi frozen and even then, the machine came to a halt constantly. We used to be able to grind pre crushed chicken bones on our old meat grinder with no problem. STX couldn’t do that either. After trying STX on 3 different occasion leading us to get our old machine out, we ended up buying the Weston meat grinder instead. It took the meat without it being semi frozen and it easily grinded the pre crushed chicken bones. I never made a review on Amazon but thought I would put this out there.

Lo compré para preparar alimento fresco para mis numerosos gatos. Llevo poco con el pero, hasta ahora, ha aguantado bien el uso que le he dado. Cada vez proceso 12 Kg de pollo (muslo y pechuga) con todo y los huesos del muslo. Se que es mucho abuso para este pequeño molino pero no me alcanzaba para el recomendado de casi $15,000 pesos mexicanos (unos USD$655). Por la sexta parte de lo que me hubiera costado el otro, y con un poco de cuidado al procesar los huesos, espero que me dure lo suficiente para desquitar lo que costó.

Menos una estrella porque el botón de reversa lo único que hace es parar el molino mientras se mantiene precionado, pero no lo hace girar en reversa. No que me haga falta para lo que lo uso, y aún así resulta útil el botón (cuando muelo los huesos, lo presiono un momento cuando entra el hueso al sinfin, lo que le ayuda a molerlo más fácilmente).

Si sirve para la comida de mis gatos (comen mejor que yo) seguro sirve para mi comida.

1.0 out of 5 stars This machine does not live up to Weston's Reputation

I chose this product based on Weston's quality known in meat grinding . This machine falls below that bar.
Once assembled Out of the box the Hopper connection was way over sized for the feeding hole causing the the hopper to effortlessly flap about 20 degrees up and down. I found the latch locking mechanism insecure in the locked position and appears it can easily unlock while in use. Both of these issues are unacceptable so I am returning it without using it once. I will also mention its loud as hell. The sound has a painful pith . Ear protection is a must . I could live with that if it wasn't for the to previous two defects mentioned. I considered a replacement until I read the reviews and decided the manufacturing quality control in this product is very poor.

Who knew that buying a meat grinder is harder than buying a car.

My wife used Weston Number 8 Electric Meat Grinder for grinding and stuffing sausages. It was purchased after reading many reviews about different grinders and attachments to KitchenAid and Cuisinart mixers.
She has used it 2 times so far and didn't encounter any problems which had been reported in negative reviews for mentioned above items. All operations were quick and clean.
