Meat Grinder Recommendations

[Opiate42]

Hey Gang,

The SO and I are looking at making our own sausages, cat food and whatnot and looking for a good reliable grinder that will last. We're not looking at dropping a huge bill on this as beginners, but something $150 or less that is sturdy, easy to clean and reliable would be great.

Any recommendations? We're new at this.

Sliante!

I inherited a "Universal meat chopper"--I think they run about $40 and are built like a corona mill--will probably last forever.

Yeah, that looks similar. Mine's probably about 40 years old.
