Awesome for raw dog food recipes, you won't be disappointed
Bought to prepare raw meat dog food recipes. We ground bone-in chicken breasts and wings and riblets in a flash. You have to be completely ready with your meat, no time to cut into chunks, this machine is fast. We used to use a KitchenAid meat grinder, it will Not grind bone and is much noiser and slower than this machine. This machine is easier to use, just on and off...there is a reverse but we did not need it...nothing got hung up. Cleanup was not a big deal. Had a sink full of soapy water ready and as soon as we finished grinding, the parts went into the soapy water to soak while we packaged the ground meat and were no problem to wash,drained in drainer then towel dried. It IS a heavy machine but does not bounce around like the KitchenAid. The instruction book states 'This meat grinder is capable of grinding smaller, softer animal bones such as rabbit, whole chickens or chicken quarters, and other birds, due to both the power and all-metal construction of the units.' We are VERY pleased with our purchase.
