Looking for a new meat grinder. Currently I have a kitchen aide attachment. It works. Not good though. I was looking at a few different ones but what do you guys own.
 
got a meat grinder I bought like 12 years ago or longer in the old gander mountain in Greensboro before that I had a hand grinder one of those you attach to the counter and grind away
 
I’ve got a big cabelas grinder that works good. Got a hand turned table mount meat cuber to make cube steaks with for Christmas last year. Hopefully I can try it out this fall.
 
Well broke down and got a Lem #8 meat grinder at academy sports yesterday. I needed it today. I had two Boston butts that I turned into chorizo this am. So after deboning and trimming some fat. It was nothing at all to grind up about 16 pounds of meat. Very impressed with how easy it ate it all up. As you can see in the picture I did not chop it into little pieces either.

I'm curious about the KA attachment you had that wasn't to your liking. It's my understanding that old KitchenAid mixers were made with strong motors and metal gears, and newer ones are garbage with cheap motors and plastic gears...unless you buy a commercial use one like I did. The commercial use mixers have orange cords and stainless steel housings, and the gears are still metal. If I were to get an attachment grinder would you think it's a waste of time /money or is the primary shortcoming (power) going to be overcome buy the commercial motor and metal gears.

The one I have is about 11 years old. It’s the lift bowl type not the tilt head. It does ok for smaller batches. I got it for that. Now we like making our own so I make more at a time. Plus deer season this will help out better then the KA one.
