Had to return this grinder after one use!!! The price for this unit is spot on to start out with especially if your not sure you are going to use it all the time, like once a year during hunting season. Its easy to clean and its light weight due to being made of platic. All parts are dishwasher safe besides blade and grinding plates! I took all the pieces out of the box and everything was washed by hand diligently. This is to clean the parts before first use and clean off the oils used on parts for shipment and storage, hopefully food safe grade H1. I assembled all parts while carefully reading the instructions. First the worm gear, then the blade, the coarse grinding plate for burger and then finally the plastic collar. Now remember only snug up the plastic collar to the plate and don't overtighten! Then next i attached the food grinder to the power hub, I was really excited at this point! I cut up the beef chuck roast into 1 inch straps, turned on the amazing kitchenaid mixer to speed four and dropped in that meat! I was grinding away and grinding away fast, it was so easy and efficient! I mixed in the spices and sent the burger through a second time. The burgers were in the pan in a matter of minutes! After eating the burgers I realized I can't buy store pre-prepped burger ever again. Now here is where the problem occurred and I was upset and worried, sorry for the long story up to this point but it was crucial. After disassembling the parts I saw something and it made me worried for both my family and others. The blade and the grinder plate were rubbing together during grinding. The result is metal scraping and gouging in the metal which was transferred to the meat. How can a company build a product such as this and it pass their testing standards!! Then proceed to get sent out to the public in total disregard for peoples health and well being!! There are fixes on the internet such as sour cream lid washers, food safe washers and sanding down the blade/grinding plates. Why be forced to make these repairs in order to use your grinder safely in fear of your families health?! I would not and will not do such a thing! This product needs to work out of the box!!! I am only giving it two stars instead of one because it is light weight, easy to clean and it ground the meat easily. I absolutely refused to use this unit more than once due to its manufactured defect and safety concern. Buyer beware!!

Operates just as advertised. The hole is little small, but you just have to go slower.

I bought this food grinder attachment and absolutely love it!! I grind my own ground beef and chicken as well. The taste is 100% better and I know what I am eating! very easy to use and very versatile. I strongly recommend to anyone who owns a kitchen aid mixer.

Works awesome. Use it to grind porkloin and turkey breast for our dog and it makes it so fine and in small pieces--just like gound chuck from the store.

I was concerned this grinder was too small, and was pleasantly surprised when it handled oranges and cranberries just fine. Be sure to cut the pieces long and slim so they fit into the feeder.

The grinder is very useful for meat, chicken, turkey. You can make healthy hamburgers and delicious meat pies, cacerols and many others delicious recipes. Light weight, easy to wash and clean. Good price

This is a really great Attachment to have for anyone who cooks with meat. It is a bit pricey but it's better than buying a full meat grinder if you have the KitchenAid already. Really convenient overall and a good value.

Purchased this to start grinding meat. It works great- I'm never buying ground beef from the store ever again. If you know that you will be grinding a lot of meat though, I would probably spring for the metal one. It's quite a bit more money, but it would probably be worth it in the long run.

Just used the grinder for the first time today. Because it’s a plastic housing take your time when grinding and there should be no problems. Ground several cuts of meat, no issues, worked as advertised.
