I have a couple different issues with the product. Some my issues are solely my fault. I should have looked more at the specifications of the product. The pan and auger housing are not removable. They can be setup to be removable but I would not recommend for the average person to do that. Clearly was designed by someone with no knowledge of meat processing. Good product for the price though. Would buy again. Tried to get the larger version of this but it was sold out and I assumed that this one was exactly the same with a smaller footprint. I was in desperate need of a grinder ASAP and it has definitely worked out just fine. Not to mention you get a one year warranty on the product. If it doesn’t meet your needs or breaks then you can send it back. Also the help I received from the customer service team was amazing. Quick shipping for such a large product as well. Had it in under 10 days.
