dose it grind meat well

It doesn't actually grind, but it chops meat pretty well. Cut the meat into half-inch cubes, put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes, and pulse to the texture you want. We like it pretty coarse, but I've accidentally chopped it finer and it doesn't smush if the meat is cold/firm enough.

I would recommend pulsing meat in short segments....this seems to work for me

Sorry, we haven't used it to chop meat yet but my thinking is it would do the job.

Well you hold the bottom in your hand. So yes it does a bit I guess. But it still makes a very even grind. The finer the grind the better, and the courser the less even.

It has enough power to grind small bones ( rib,necbones etc.)but you will need to use the largest grinding plate they give you and find someone to sharpen it or find a backup plate because it will become dull quickly which could reduce the life of the motor.

No I don't think you want to try grinding bones less you want a big mess on your hands....I ground small 1" peaces of just meat and it was a big job pushing the meat down the feed hole it kept pushing the meat back up and out all over the counter....You should look at better electric unit to grind bones.........LEM makes a good unit but expect to pay 200 at least........

Yes,it will grind as fine as you want. If you have the tine and power it will liquefy.

I don't know if it can grind row bones or not I haven't tried. It does really well on the meat we grind.

It will grind coarse if you don't grind too long.. Not sure why the other reviewer said no. It even says so in the instructions.

Yes, grinds very well. Grinds egg shells to fragments, I estimate them to be approx. 5mms.

This is not a professional meat grinder. If you wan't to use it very frequently i suggest a professional meatgrinder with metal gears. If you a are a user like me (once in a while ) this one works very well. (little loud for my opinion)

Not really. It doesn't get hot enough I've noticed to give a good sear on food thus lacking in some flavor and obviously texture. Works well for veggies and burgers and fish but steaks are the weak point for our use.

This meat grinder has a good price for a powerful motor that I use to grind up fish with small bones and cartilage. I don't know about larger bones. The power cord is a few inches shorter than I like but there are built in storage compartments which makes this model better than others I bought before.

No...it does not grind consistently and we've stopped using it. Not recommended.

Yes. It grinds the bones in chicken legs and quarters with no problems at all.

It works great! I bought it to grind meat for my 11month old because she loves meat but has no teeth. I grind chicken, steak, & pork so that I can make patties and grill like hamburgers. She loves it!

I have only used it once...grinding wild turkey meat. It worked well and was reasonably easy to clean. For your intended use, I would go up to 1.5 or 2 Hp.

No it would break if you grind poultry bones no bones what so ever, the grinding plates Could do it, but the meat grinder itself it would break, because it is plastic, I would not dare put bones in my meat grinder

I purchased this grinder specifically for making venison jerky and it works very well. I have ground 6-8 pounds of venison and a few pounds of beef so far and I haven't had any issues. Personally, I like to first grind the meat through the larger diameter grinding plate, then run it back through again with the fine grinder plate in place. This makes the jerky nice and tender in the end.
