several years ago when we first decided to start making sausage , we needed a meat grinder and not wanting to spend a lot of money just to try our hand at something new i found a meat grinder at "harbor freight" for $69.00
it was a small home use grinder and it worked really well, but after grinding several 100 lbs of meat with it and deciding we would indeed be making much more sausage every year , i decided it was time to invest in a much larger grinder so i did my research and settled on a 3/4 HP grinder
when it arrived i unpacked it and decided to see what this big boy could do , as soon as i dropped the 1st peice of meat into it . the dang thing stalled , i took the grinding head off thinking i must have installed the blade backwards,
nope that wasn't it,
so over the course of the next several hours i tried everything i could think of to get it to grind meat without stalling ...nothing worked . i called the company and told them what was happening , several pnone converastions later they sent me another one .......same problem!!!
the $69.00 grinder would and still does grind circles around the $500.00 grinder ......make of this what you will , just know that just because something costs a lot more doesen't always mean its better !
