Meat Grinders

I was looking at the reviews of the Costco one. I was having trouble last night seeing it in the app so waited until this morning to look at them on a laptop. The reviews are pretty terrible... So I'm going to stick with my KitchenAid grinder attachment for now.

$159 is cheap enough for as little grinding as I do, but I don't want to buy a piece of crap. So if I end up going with a grinder I'll spend up for a decent one.

Watch Black Friday deals for LEM and MEAT brands. Just make sure that they are the stainless models.

Not that specific one, but I have a #12 grinder that I bought from Northern Tool (formerly Northern Hydraulic) a few years ago for $99 that looks just about the same. It will rip through a whole beef brisket or a couple of pork shoulders in just a few minutes. The plates from my ancient Chop Rite #10 manual grinder fit it just fine but the knives are a little different. I haven't tried using it for stuffing sausage.

My brother has a LEM #8 grinder and it's about as fast as my lighter-duty #12, but I think with his you have to cut the pieces a little smaller.

Thanks @z-bob -- For now I'll stick with the KitchenAid. If I start getting into a LOT more grinding (i.e. sausage), I'll have to look into something more powerful.

I was just thinking if this was cheap enough and decent quality, it might be something on my Christmas list because my wife never knows what to get me... I buy anything I need lol ;-)
