The VBENLEM commercial meat grinder is the TRUTH! The grinder was able to help our family grind almost 400 pounds of meat for sausages in under an hour. The grinder didn't get clogged and made processing easy.The cleaning process was easy. As with any sharp object, do not submerge in hot water. That blade is sharp and I don't want you to cut yourself. The grinder is sturdy and heavy duty. When everyone else was telling my dad to buy a grinder based on HP, I'm glad I found one that is based on pounds per hour, sturdy and efficient. I STRONGLY recommend this grinder and it's more economical than the HP grinders. Thank you for the seller for under promising and over delivering on the shipping. It came quicker than expected.
