I got this knowing full well that it says "no bones" in the instruction manual. I used it to grind up about 10lbs of drum sticks and 2 lbs of thighs. It did it all. The motor did heat up a little. I stopped after 10 lbs of chicken. It was still pulling them in without issue. I recently read about feeding my dog raw. It has a ton of benefits over feeding them even high end dog food. I was cutting up chunks of chicken for about 3 months now, my little guy seemed like he was having a hard time every now and then with the cut up bones, so I read about meat grinders. It's a perfect solution. He now scarfs his food so fast and I don't have to watch him eat his food.
I often make pork buns and dumplings, I spend an abundance amount of time cutting the meat so I decided to purchase this machine, hoping that it’ll make it easier for me in the kitchen. It comes with three different types of stainless steel cutting plates, and I used the round one to cut up meat. I like that it comes with a tray on top so I can put the meat in it. This way I don’t have to hand cut all the meat when I make meals, it makes my life easier and it helps me a lot in the kitchen. This machine allows the meat to come out very evenly,it’s very powerful, also easy to clean.
