I make my own Dog Food
I really like this grinder. I can put most things in it and it will grinde. Some turkey necks and larger leg bones need to be softened a bit before it will go through. If it gets stuck, it is a pain to remove all of the components to clear the passage to continue. I like that I can use this to not have as much waste after harvesting on our farm.

Exceeded all my expectations - durable, compact, versatile meat processing powerhouse!
First impressions matter, and this grinder certainly delivers. It feels incredibly solid and robust, weighing in at more than 35 pounds! The all-stainless-steel body not only adds to its strength but also makes it visually appealing and easy to clean. I was pleased to find that all parts that come into contact with meat - such as the cross blades, grinding plates, auger, and food outlet - are dishwasher safe. This feature alone makes it worth it for me, as it saves a lot of time on cleanup after grinding sessions. The food outlet and auger can be quickly removed with a simple turn of a knob, which makes clearing any potential blockages straightforward. Note that the manufacturer advises washing all metal parts in warm, soapy water before the first use due to the anti-rust coating they apply, which I followed without issue. I also like its compact design, measuring 8"L x 1"W x 14"H. Despite its commercial-grade capabilities, it doesn’t take up too much counter space and allows for easy storage when not in use. However, it’s substantial and heavy enough that I’d recommend finding a permanent spot for it on your countertop if you plan to use it frequently.Performance wise, the Anatole grinder does not disappoint. The 1100W motor is powerful, efficiently grinding through various meats, including chicken, turkey, and even softer fish bones. I’ve been using it primarily for making sausages at home, and I’ve found that it handles everything I throw at it with ease. The grinder comes with four different grinding plates (1/4", 1/3", 2/5", and 3-hole), providing versatility for different textures. I’ve enjoyed experimenting with various meats and recipes, and the results have been consistently excellent. While the grinder is efficient, it does have a rather loud operation. It’s almost like a small airplane engine - definitely not something you’d want to use if you’re trying to keep the noise down. This hasn’t deterred me from using it, but it’s worth noting if you live in a noise-sensitive environment. One feature I particularly value is the included food pusher. It keeps my hands safely away from the blades, which is essential for peace of mind. However, I did notice that the plastic pusher is a bit too long for the chute, leading to a risk of accidentally pushing it too far down and grinding off the tip. It's a minor issue, but definitely something to be aware of.Bottom line:The Anatole Commercial Electric Meat Grinder has exceeded my expectations in many ways. It’s powerful, durable, and versatile enough to handle a wide range of meats, making it a fantastic addition to my kitchen. The ease of cleaning and compact design are definite advantages, even if the noise level and some minor design quirks require a bit of adjustment. If you’re looking for a heavy-duty meat grinder that can handle a variety of tasks, I highly recommend giving this one a try. Just be mindful of the noise and the design of the pusher tool, and you’ll find it’s a worthwhile investment for anyone passionate about meat processing. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my purchase and excited to keep using it for my future culinary adventures! 5-star, highly recommended.Pros:1. Commercial grade grinder built to last.2.
