Really happy with this stuffer
I've made three batches of sausage with this so far, and like it better each time I've used it. It's larger than I expected. Definitely holds 5lbs of sausage. Really easy to disassemble and clean, and the parts are thick and sturdy stainless. Very cleanly machined. Seals great, zero leakage during stuffing. Requires far less effort to crank and stuff than I thought it would. I've used a few stuffers of different types in this price range, and I rate this as the best value for around $50. My only minor complaint is the amount of side-to-side movement (maybe 1/4") between the base and the tube when cranking. Easy enough to overcome by holding the unit firmly, but it's a lot to crank, keep steady, and properly feed the casing if you're doing this without a second person. Still doable, though.
