This is a good product. Works well for our purposes. We have just started learning to make our own sausages and this does the trick. My husband, son, and I did our first batch last week and it was phenomenal.
Good unit prety easy to use, if you use a clamp to hold to work surface it can be used by one person, it is just missing something to hold it partialy tilted open so you can reload .
The shipping was really fast and the product worked good. I did have to clamp down the stuffer while using. Other than that it worked great. I modified the a sausage tube for making ground jerky. That made it faster and easier than using a jerky gun.
This is a very good machine at any price. The stainless steel is heavy duty. It is best to use a clamp to keep it firmly on the table though as it does take some force to turn the crank.
The trick other trick is to find a way to get the last bit of sausage out of the machine and into the casing at the end of the run. Still thinking..
