Metal Meat Grinder Attachment for KitchenAid Stand Mixer,Meat Grinder KitchenAid Includes 4 Grinding Plates, 3 Sausage Stuffer Tubes, 2 Grinding Blades, Meat Grinder Attachment by Gvode

I've been using my 40-year old KitchenAid and grinder attachment to grind meat for sausages, and needed a fine hole plate (2-3mm) for bratwurst. I only had a 5-6mm hole plate, and a new actual KitchenAid fine hole plate will set you back 30 or 40 clams. I just hate the large-hole-double-grinding mess - if you know, you know. And most of the cheap off-brand plates will not fit my original KitchenAid.So, I decided to buy this entire grinder attachment for 38 dollars. Short story, it works great! I just used its 2.5mm hole plate for a nice fine grind - my old 300-watt KitchenAid slowed down a bit, but powered through.Tips: the plates, blades, auger drive shaft, and top tray are nice stainless steel. The main body, augur fin, and big lock nut are cast aluminum. So duh, don't wash those aluminum parts in your dishwasher. And remove the top tray to push down those last bits all the way to the auger. The blade and plate are slightly loose, but that didn't create any problems. The included brush is a nice touch but could be a little more robust.All in all, I'm happy with this product. 38 bucks!

Excellent ... Delivered fast...

Works well does a good job grinding I do wish that the whole thing was dishwasher safe because hand washing all this stuff can get a little time consuming but for the price it's pretty good.

This is purely an unboxing review as I just got this gvode grinder today and haven't used it yet.Sausage tubes:I was a little curious when ordering what sausage tubes it would come with as the description states only 2, but the picture showed 3. I am not a sausage maker (yet) but was ok with the two if that's what it ended up being. To my surprise, I received a 3rd one just like the photo... not sure if this is by design or not because even the box it came in says 2 stuffing tubes. G1705 is the only model number I could find on the box for what it's worth. The diameters of the tubes do not match what the description stated however. The description mentioned .45 and .68 inch diameters. What I received are .55, .70, and .93 - not sure how important that is but figured I'd mention it. My only partial complaint is that the ends of the tube may be a little sharp - not horrible by any means but you may want to be careful not to get scratched... not sure if they would actually cut a finger - you'd have to try pretty hard to get cut I think. Definitely going to want to wash them prior to first use as the insides don't seem to be as polished as the outsides.The brush included has pretty soft bristles and will likely be useless... not sure I'll keep it because I don't see it actually cleaning anything off but I didn't order this for the brush. Remember this thing is not dishwasher safe - hand wash only.The casting of the chute and auger look good and have a sold feel to them with decent weight. The 4 plates and 2 cutting knives/blades seem to be of a suitable quality and sharpness as well.The tray for the top of the chute seem reasonable also. It does not have a super tight fit to the chute so if you're expecting it to friction fit into place wherever you leave it... adjust your expectation. It's not a sloppy fit, but I would expect it to turn / rotate a little if you bump it while using it. It feels durable and up to the task it's intended for though.Overall I'm happy so far. Will update if it turns out to be a dud but I'd say 5-stars based on quality at a just under $30 price tag.

I have been using this thing every two days to grind up venison. Only once have I stupidly attempted to push down the meat with a wooden implement and get a chunk of wood in it. I don’t recommend doing that. It did beat up the metal screw piece a tad, making the edges rough. It still works like a charm. Any pieces of meat that are left inside the machine once I’m done grinding I can toss to my dogs or chickens so there is no waste. It’s easy to put together and easy to take apart to clean. I’m very happy I bought it. It’s much cheaper than buying a separate meat grinding machine.

Have been very happy with this. Works as expected.

Fits my kitchen aide and works great

Broke in about a year, and never worked all that well before it did. Cheap garbage.
