Kitchen aid grinder attachment?

[md1]

I have a big grinder already. I want a very small one to stuff in a kitchen cabinet or the kitchen aid attachment.....anyone use any cheap little ones? We have the kitchen aid mixer so this looks like a good option for smaller batches. It's a pain using the biggin for anything less than 20lbs....

So either a cheap grinder or kitchen aid...... suggestions please.

We bought one but not used it yet.

We used a kitchen aid attachment for years. Then upgraded to the cabelas standard grinder. Not sure what you’re considering a big one is. Both seem to work fine, upgraded because after years of use, you could hear the motor on the kitchen aid getting weak. We even used it for 250-300 lbs of moose burger a couple of years. The cabelas one is twice as fast.

I bought one for the wife's Kitchenaid. It lasted about 5-10 minutes. Then the gears stripped out of the mixer. That cost me a new grinder AND a new Kitchenaid for the wife. She had the tilt head mixer. It was pretty stout. I don't think it was ever truly tested until I tried to grind the deer burger. I have a feeling it may have had issues since new.

My opinion is it takes about the same amount of time to clean any grinder regardless of size. . Bought a cheap one years ago and it didn’t last. Bought a cabelas commercial grade several years ago and it works good as it did when it was new. I would just stick with your big grinder.

your experience with the attachment sounds great for what I'm looking for practical in house use. I generally freeze one time ground meat and whenever I feel like making treats I'll take out small batch sizes 5-20lbs and grind again before stuffing shooting or whatever.

I guess kitchen aid or name brand countertop grinder?

I've used the kitchenaid grinder attachment for years on a pro-grade kitchenaid mixer. Works fine and has had about 10 deer put through it without problems.

I got one works great. Not a kitchen aid tho. I will look here in a bit after I get passed me being lazy right now.

just get the old fashioned hand crank ones... doesnt get any cheaper than that

I would recommend these to anyone. They have a new model out as well.
As you can see great reviews.

It will plow through anything you put in it. Also comes with a sausage making kit.

It really depends on what you're making, and how much. I have used the kitchen aid one, numerous times and have had little issues. With that being said, it'll get warmer quicker than a larger one and if you're making sausage it can be an issue in large batches.
