LEM Big Bite Grinder #8 0.5 HP Stainless Steel Electric Meat Grinder

They work smoothly. A quiet and strong device.

I absolutely love this grinder! Very solid and simple to use and clean up. Ground up about 20 lbs of pork in minutes without any clogging. Plenty of power and well built. Recommend this to anyone making homemade sausage.

Worked great!! Ground up the meat faster than I could cut it up. Lots of power. Used it to make and stuff brats. Did not have to use my sausage stuffer.

Long-time elk hunter here, and for my 20 years of hunting, my husband and I always used the heavy hand grinder my dear Mom gave me when I got my first animal (a pronghorn). I’ve resisted getting an electric grinder because I like to leave lots of connective tissue in my ground (I think it helps adhesion for burgers and sausage), and most of my friends with electric grinders burned them out within less than 5 years. So the fact that this grinder has a 5-year warranty speaks volumes compared to cheaper, less durable or powerful grinders. So far it works really well – even with connective tissue – and should last a long time, as long as I follow two cardinal rules: cut pieces to ~2″ thick for feeding, and don’t get too aggressive with the pusher. I only use the pusher to get close to the blades but I do not actually force the meat through. The grinder comes with cutting plates for 3 sizes of grind. I typically use the coarsest one first and then re-grind anything that will become burger or sausage using a finer plate. (Note that LEM makes an excellent cylinder-style sausage stuffer, and it is superior to using the grinder to stuff casings – well worth having a separate dedicated tool.) I’m hopeful that this grinder will outlast all the cheaper ones – so far, so good! (I rated 5 stars overall but only 3 for energy efficiency because my hand grinder is still the most efficient – but not nearly as time-efficient!)

I’m enjoying it, as good as advertised

Haven’t used yet. It’s in closet until next deer season.

This grinder is awsome. Cuts like a champ. No smearing. Great look grind that took no time at all. Easy to clean and plenty of power. Love it, would definitely buy it again but I expect it to last a long time as it is constructed well.

Not enough power.. i

This grinder is amazing! Didn’t even need to push pieces of venison through. Made quick work of our two deer.

Worked very well grinding and stuffing, would recommended
