Amazon.com Review
This tool increases the fun factor of your KitchenAid stand mixer several times over. Toss cubes of meat into the food tray, stomp 'em down, and watch the results wriggle out the front. Grind your own beef or chicken for patties or tacos. Blend your own sausage mixtures, from breakfast to boudin blanc. With additional attachments, you can turn it into a pasta maker or a sausage stuffer. It's easy to assemble and use. Most parts are dishwasher-safe; hand wash the grinding blades, wooden stomper, and cutting knife. --Betsy Danheim

Excellent product! July 4, 2008
The grinder attachment works perfectly every time. For raw meat I grind it twice and the texture comes out just right. I suggest grinding the meat when it's half-defrosted as I noticed the meat gets stuck easily when it is completely defrosted or fresh.
Like other reviewers have suggested, try to keep the job done in 15 minutes as the motor in the mixer can get really warm and feels like it's about to burn out...! I would even suggest 10 minutes at a time as I don't want to overworked my mixer and end up paying big $$$ for the repair!! And I also suggest getting the optional "plate" for a larger work area on top, perfect for grinding the meat the second time without having to scoop-press-scoop-press...
Cleanup is easy with a dishwasher, or handwash with a brush. Just use extra dishwashing liquid as the plastic can get greasy! Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase.

I like this product, with one exception. The plastic pusher should be made of wood, it seems a little on the flimsy side being made from plastic.
 Great Accessory For Killing Your KitchenAid Mixer!!! Walk Away From This Piece of Junk!!!!!!!!! June 15, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you want to kill or ruin your K'Aid Mixer, then this accessory is the perfect one to do it!!
I bought this piece of junk last year and thought; "Oh, goody!!! Now I got a food grinder for my K'Aid mixers." Boy, was I wrong!!! This unit is just a worthless piece of junk that should be left right where you see it; on the store shaelves!!!
I went to use this for the very first time, and it made my K-5SS Stand Mixer's motor start to labor badly - amost to the point where it was about to stop working and die altogether!!
Liquid had leaked into the transmission and messed up the gears badly!! I was almost faced with a $125.00 repair bill!!! I had to finish the job with this unit attached to the smaller K-45SS.
But luckily, the mixer began to rebound in the days ahead and has mended itself back up to full operating speed!! It works fine now. But as a precaution, I sent this ill-fated piece of junk back to where I bought it from!!
I've since bought a separate electric food grinder, which works beautifully!! Do yourself a favor. leave this in the stores!! Also, it's shown with a wooden pusher. That it false advertising because, ;like the rest of the unit, the pusher is plastic now, had been for a long while!!!
Don't buy this. It's and ill-fated piece of junk!!!!!!!!!

Works ok, but take it easy! June 1, 2008
As some others have indicated, these KitchenAid blender attachments are more or less novelties... not made to the same "industrial" standards as the blenders themselves... but still functional. I bought one despite all the warnings, and I'm glad I did. If you follow the directions and don't overload it, it does a decent job. I've used it to make ham and turkey salad, and on leftover chicken breasts for Quesadillas. If you take your time and you only need to prepare enough for a meal, I don't think you will be disappointed. Just don't plan on grinding a whole deer for venison sausage.
Great Attachment for the Kitchen Aid Mixer! May 25, 2008

I just started to grind my own meat due to the high cost of food and I purchased this last month and I love it. It does a top notch job at grinding all sorts of meat. I purchased a whole chicken, cut it up, and ground the skin and all and it didn't miss a beat. I've also ground lamb and sirloin and it worked well with those too. I would highly recommend it. Clean up is easy too. It comes apart easily and all the pieces cleaned up nicely.
