Stainless Steel Meat Grinder Attachment for KitchenAid Stand Mixer, Food Grinder attachment with 4 Grinding Plates, 3 Sausage Stuffer Tubes, 2 Grinding Blades, Mixers Accessories for Kitchen Aid

This is an excellent small grinder. I use it for grinding pork, lamb, beef. Cut to about 1 inch chunks and they feed through and grind without issue.

Used this today for the first time, worked great! Everything went smoothly and the sausage turned out really good. Be aware that there are two versions of the food grinder attachment. This fits the older model, FGA, which is what I have. If you aren't sure, the food grinder box says FGA on the bottom. The FGA grinder itself has two slots to hold plates in place, one on each side of the mouth of the exit hole.

Sturdy, easy to use, easy to clean.

EDIT: I butchered a cow last week and had the opportunity to run a lot of meat through this grinder attachment. I realized my earlier assessment was a bit harsh. Before, I was grinding into tubular bags, using the largest size sausage stuffer. The stuffer tube was too small. My other grinder had a much larger tube that unfortunately doesn't fit this one. When I ground directly out the die instead of pushing the meat through a tube, the problems with clogging went away and it ran well. Maybe not quite as strong as the Bosch, but the Bosch is a larger diameter grinder so it's no surprise that it handles more. I also used this attachment to stuff about 50lbs of sausage. It worked well for that. Very few air bubbles. I had to stop and clean it out twice because the stuffer attachment plate has three crossbars that accumulate fibrous stuff and eventually clog the end of the auger. Here's my old review, modified to remove some incorrect complaints. If you are grinding moderate amounts of meat, this grinder should do the job. The consumer level grinder I can compare it against is the grinder attachment for a Bosch mixer that I have used for the past 16 years. I have put thousands of pounds of meat through it. That grinder will power through stuff that bogs this one down, but this one does get the job done if you treat it right. We butchered a few deer recently. We had two grinders running at the same time, side by side. I was filling those tubular plastic bags, so I had sausage stuffer tubes mounted on the grinders for filling bags. The Bosch had a giant tube that I use for this job and for stuffing summer sausage. This one had the largest size tube it came with, which was smaller. At first I was disappointed with this grinder, because the Bosch, whose power head is almost ready to die, was easily producing 3 times what this one did. It was the stuffer tube who was the culprit. Meat with moderate amounts of silver skin or sinew plugged it very quickly and I had to disassemble the head and clean it out every 8-10lbs on average. The old grinder ate 60lbs of the exact same trim without having to be cleaned. Luckily I ran out of bags and pulled the stuffer tube off when I unexpectedly had to butcher a cow. Then I saw that this grinder actually does work pretty well if you don't have a stuffer tube putting back pressure on the grind. This grinder is easy to assemble, disassemble, and clean. It appears to be solid and produces a nice grind. A nit I have with it is that the post on the front of the auger gets very tightly wound with sinew after a while, and it takes fingernails longer than mine to clean it off. All in all, a decent grinder attachment. Now I need to find a larger tube so I can grind directly into bags with it.

So happy that this product was compatible with my unit, and at a price point that did not break the bank. This product is strong, stainless (super important) and fits perfectly with my labeled "mixer". It was easy to attach, it functions just how it should, the design is very user friendly, and it is weighty in a good way in that it is substantial and makes me feel good that it is strong and sturdy for the job! A total great gift for foodies who want to know what they are making and making it all good!

Great tool. Making my own hamburger. You can control fat and meat quality. Works well and fits perfectly.

This accessory is amazingly well manufactured and works MUCH better than the original Kitchenaid grinder in every possible way. The body, auger, the grind dies (there are 4) the front screen retainer are all precise, thick and solid! The holder tray is not as thick but is perfectly fine. All outside is mirror polished. Unlike the original Kitchenaid metal grinder, you CAN wash this in the dishwasher. Why would I ever want a metal food prep accessory I cannot put in the dishwasher? Works great for grinding beef - our 30 year old kitchenaid classic tilt head mixer does not even break a sweat working this attachment, much less work than the old original grinder. Cons: Don't drop the body or the main parts, they are stainless steel and heavy - something will get hurt, and it won't be the stainless steel part. If you need a grinder attachment for your Kitchenaid - get this one - can't go wrong for less than one Benjamin... A+

I recently bought a KitchenAid stand mixer, and like many new owners, the first thing I did was look for attachments for my new toy. At first, I wanted to buy the Gvode set, but since the discount had already ended, I decided to look around and purchased another brand (I won’t mention the name to avoid “promotion”). It arrived a few days later, and then I saw that Gvode was back on sale. Since I hadn’t used either attachment yet, I decided to order it as well, compare the two, and keep the better one. The Gvode cost $70, while the other brand was $60. Both are made entirely of stainless steel. In terms of appearance, I actually prefer the $60 version because there are no visible welding seams. Honestly, I really wanted to stick with Gvode, but after comparing them by hand, I feel I should warn others. The Gvode attachment has a lot of play (looseness), which means the blades don’t sit tightly against the grinding plate. This will cause poor meat grinding, with sinew getting wrapped around the blade and the ground meat ending up more like puree. I’m not sure if this could also cause metal shavings or a metallic taste in the meat, since I didn’t test them directly in the mixer, but you can clearly see the difference in the video.
