September 2017An even newer edit- Love this machine..... used regularly for grinding raw for six cats. No problems at all.....people mention the noise! It's a machine that is grinding for a few minutes I can see no issue with the level of noise it makes. We use the coarse plate to grind a liver and kidney blend of meat with some heart and mix it with chunked meat. If use bones we only use rabbit and chicken through on a coarse plate then the fine plate. Don't push the bones in, let the machine pull them in joints facing away. New edit August 2016- still love this machine. I had to purchase a new one this month as in avoiding to trip over a pet I well and truly dropped the old one. The new one has a few slight changes over the old one, the discs now have two locator points to hold them in place and it seems quieter. I've already run two batches of cat food through for six cats and I am very happy with this fantastic grinder. Cleaning was no issue either, a quick soak, and vegetable oil the discs and cutting blade. Edit- November 2014- Still five stars, only use it for pet food and it has worked hard now for a year and a half. Felt I had to add an edit as some reviews seem daft. Yes the manufacturer will say not suitable for grinding soft bones no machine at this price would guarantee this. You buy it at this price acknowledging the risk. I've had NO problems at all with room temperature chicken and rabbit bones, large bones hammered before hand. Grinding discs all can be treated with olive oil immediately after washing then you have no oxidisation. Also follow the manufacturers washing instructions and DON'T put in the dishwasher. Lastly the noise from the machine is fine, not quiet but not excessive- it's a GRINDER!!! What do you expect at this price!!!! Original review This item was bought to produce quality homemade RAW food for my three cats. I looked for a long time at all the reviews for a variety of grinders and with such positive feedback regarding RAW/BARF food production went with this. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it, the grinder is easy to use and clean, I have no complaints about the noise. Everything went through the grinder without hesitation and I have to say it is now a favourite machine in my kitchen. If you are making pet food I would recommend having the chicken wings good and soft, at room temperature, before grinding as they go through the machine easily. However with liver I would have it partially defrosted, so it has some integrity as it goes through the mincer and is not a gooey sloppy mess. Do not hesitate to purchase this grinder....I used for normal domestic use and it has worked perfectly.

I bought this after much research as I needed a grinder that could deal with raw chicken bones for making raw cat food. I didn't feel able to spend hundreds of pounds on a heavy duty, professional quality model so I wasn't expecting huge performance from this. HOWEVER, I used it for the first time this afternoon and it was amazing. It pulverised the bones from 4 kilos of chicken legs in about 3 minutes, without missing a beat. It was so impressive my entire family ended up standing watching it in awe! The machine itself seems quite solid and reassuringly plain. If anyone has a Magimix processor or a Jack LaLane juicer, it has a similar look and feel. There's a little compartment in the back to store the cord & plug and storage on top for the discs and the kibbe maker. It's easy to take apart and re-assemble and cleaning was a breeze. I oiled the disc and blade before I put them away as I suspect they would be prone to rusting, the hopper and other metal work are all either aluminium or stainless steel so they can just be dried off before storing. I can't remember if the metal parts are dishwasher safe but I wouldn't risk it as from experience, aluminium tends to pit & dull in the dishwasher. I really thought I'd only ever use this to make the cat food but now that I've found it to be such an enjoyable machine to operate, I will definitely be making my own mince with it. I've also bought sausage casings to try my hand at making my these too. I rarely buy sausages as I'm often horrified by the low meat content in them but if I can make my own now my children will be delighted. If you want to be able to grind chicken bones for pet food I'd highly recommend this, but as just a regular mincer, I can't imagine you getting anything remotely as good for the same price.

I have been using this grinder for some weeks now, and i am quite impressed with it. When i first saw the grinder, it did look like a cheap plastic product, but despite its cheap looks, it performs very well, which is the most important for me. It does make a lot of noise, but i think that is to be expected from a big engine like this. Like a few others have mentioned in their reviews, i also use mine to prepare cat/dog food, so far it has easily been able to handle whole chicken including bone, just chopped up in smaller pieces. I have not yet tried making sausage with it, but i suspect it will work just fine. All in all i think this is a very solid product, and good value for the low price. Compared to other grinders on the market you will be hard pressed to find one as powerful as this in the same pricerange. Pros: +Powerful. +Quickly grinds through meat, even with bones. +Pretty easy to clean and store. +Low price. Cons: -Not pretty looking. -Noisy.

This is one terrific addition to the kitchen. It minces really well and although a little noisy, that powerful motor just goes through meat like a hot knife through butter. It's very easy to clean (hot soapy water. NOT dishwasher) and reassemble. The sausage maker is just brilliant and we made some really delicious rabbit and pork breakfast sausages. It seems a very robust piece of kit and I would highly recommend anyone thinking of buying a mincer to seriously consider this one. Try minced venision when making Chilli Con Carni or Spag-Bol. Yummy !! Just felt I needed to edit this after some more use. It's a eally good buy. Robust, well built and great for grinding down pork shoulder for sausages and sausage rolls. We made some wicked venison burgers and I can honestly say, they were the best burgers ever. Just minced venison, sea salt and black pepper. Grind it twice and let them rest overnight on the fridge. Well done Andrew James for making this great home mincer.
