I use the TurboForce for cat food. Small bones & tendons clog the blade & I have to stop several times to disassemble & clean.Will the MegaForce work?

I have not used my grinder for this kind of work. I do grind a lot of venison and have not had to clean it until I get my batch done, about 25 lbs. There are things that get wound around the blade, but that is going to happen with any grinder I do believe.

I absolutely do NOT recommend this grinder for making cat food. See my review for more on this. In the comments, I include a link to the grinder I finally settled on and am loving!

I have responded to many of these questions since I started using The STX-3000-MF. The answer is always the same. Only grind frozen bones with mostly frozen meat. I always start with the grinding head and blades right out of the freezer. As others will tell you, use the three slot head the first grind. Regrind a second time with the same head (it goes fast). To skip to a less coarse die (in order to have finer product) re-cool the meat in the freezer. This machine is with out peer. If used this way.

It performs a function not done with existing on board tools. However, it is not the best one I have used. It looses rpms quickly. I have had a Dyson in the past which worked better. For the price it is worth having, but I still find myself using multiple tools to achieve clean stairs.

I can't see why not. I was trying out one of the blades on a red onion the other day and even using the pulse I went one push too far and wound up with minced onion, really really minced. As I mentioned to another person, invest in the extra set of blades. They were $60 but with all five blades you have a wonderful variety of options. I'm very pleased with the machine and use it much more than I ever did my old one. It's got a very tricky lock system, so if you buy it and can't get it to turn on just email me back. Hope your cat enjoys the homemade dinner.

I have bought all 3 sizes of it, and the largest size you could, but I wouldn't. I have many cats at home, and it is a godsend once I started to use it. At full strength, if you have a problem area, clean with an enzymatic cleaner let dry, spray with feliway multiple times but only once daily and in time, that problem area gone. I think it works really well so I wouldn't dilute it at all.

I have used it for years to grind chicken thighs with bones to make raw cat food. Does not work for bones larger than that though.

Yes, but you don't want them as they are LARGE and very DULL, they do not work as well as the smaller ones.... 7 or 9 inch blades are better, better yet the slim line. at wal mart. The slim blades are excellent on cat fish 10 - 20 pounders. or as small as a 14 inch crappie.

Both the Magnum 1800W and the STX Turboforce 3000 are Size #12 grinders and not Size #8 or Size #5 which are smaller grinders.Both grinders will grind about the same amount of meat per minute/hour and both have approximately the same amount of torque, so no problem there.The "Only" reason I would steer you to the Magnum 1800W is if you are planning on grinding Chicken/Bones for your pets Raw Food Diet as the configuration of the grinding head on the Magnum 1800W is more "geared" to grinding these.If you are just purchasing a grinder to grind meat, you might just wish to purchase the grinder you think you like the "looks" of as both will perform about equal.Regards,SashaCustomer Service TechThe Mercantile Station 2(402) 742-2586 Both the Magnum 1800W and the STX Turboforce 3000 are Size #12 grinders and not Size #8 or Size #5 which are smaller grinders.Both grinders will grind about the same amount of meat per minute/hour and both have approximately the same amount of torque, so no problem there.The "Only" reason I would steer you to the Magnum 1800W is if you are planning on grinding Chicken/Bones for your pets Raw Food Diet as the configuration of the grinding head on the Magnum 1800W is more "geared" to grinding these.If you are just purchasing a grinder to... » Read More Both the Magnum 1800W and the STX Turboforce 3000 are Size #12 grinders and not Size #8 or Size #5 which are smaller grinders.Both grinders will grind about the same amount of meat per minute/hour and both have approximately the same amount of torque, so no problem there.The "Only" reason I would steer you to the Magnum 1800W is if you are planning on grinding Chicken/Bones for your pets Raw Food Diet as the configuration of the grinding head on the Magnum 1800W is more "geared" to grinding these.If you are just purchasing a grinder to grind meat, you might just wish to purchase the grinder you think you like the "looks" of as both will perform about equal.Regards,SashaCustomer Service TechThe Mercantile Station 2(402) 742-2586 « Show Less

This may seem harsh, but really, you must have no mechanical skills if you can't handle a rotary. The ADT failed after one car and the Makita was a dream. Can get into edges that the dual action can't and only had one minor burn through. Considering it probably saved me 10 hours of work, that sounds fair.And as the previous response indicated, DO NOT use this pad. The Meguairs is light-years better and contrary to my expectations, very durable. After 4 vehicles can see no wear.

I have used both the Shark and Feather blades and they work perfectly. I don't see a reason why persona blades wouldn't work.

It seemed more like a toy than a kitchen tool, it only made smooth. I returned it and bought a ninja. We can make chuncky or smooth with it, plus use it for a hundred other things.

That would depend on the cut you wish to give the cat. The higher number the blade the less amount of fur will be left on the cat.

I do not have any direct experience with the Ninja 800 series with the dual speed blades. The theory looks good, and I would guess it works very well. Since you appear to want to do smoothies (from your purchase of the NutriBullet) the dual speed blade would only come into play if you are using the large 72 oz pitcher, as the individual cups would get a single speed blade. I choose the 700 series with the single speed blades because we wanted the accessories that came with that model, and to have the ability to do various tasks. As far as our 770 series, the unit has performed well over the few months we have owned it. In the first week, I tried all the functions, crushing ice, making smoothies, making bread dough, chopping vegies, and mixing cake batter. All functions worked great. In the long haul, we have made bread dough, do cake & brownie mixes, cookie dough, and blend ground turkey with other meats (for flavor). We want to do more smoothies, it does a fantastic job on them, but haven't done many yet. It runs great, does a terrific job, and cleans easily. But any type of motorized equipment can be bad out of the box, sounds like the case with your NutriBullet.

My personal experience, the motor gets gummed up and breaks way too easily as it cannot handle much other than squishy vegetables and fruits. I would save your money and go for a food processor that has a better motor and blade mechanic.

Yes, my cats, both fluffy and large use it fine. As long as your cat is nimble, as all but the worst off are, they'll get through!

I don't totally understand the question but I have had not problems with the Mini Handheld Turbobrush. It is air powered and thus doesn't have the torque of an electric powered brush but it works well enough on upholstery. It will bog down if you press it too hard into a stuffed chair or sofa. Does this help?

Definitely not. I use it to make dog food and have difficulty every time as the gristle from the meat clogs the blade and I have to take apart, unclog and finish. When I use meat with bones it is even worse.

I hook it up with my Jet dust collection system. It might be stronger suction if I didn't have all the other tools on the system that I control with blast gates. With all the leakage I have no problems. The sander is a great tool and made my life easier and quicker.
