After yesterday, I read the bad reviews, I had only doubts, I had the device already ordered. Today the meat grinder arrived and I first shopped "test" for meat. The meat cut into chunks .... and go! The device brings, in my opinion, benefits like a professional unit. Have crushed appetizing quickly 2000g meat. After that, I first had to make 20 meatballs. Enough for a few days. :-) For the price this is a great bargain, though not very quiet!
