It works flawlessly. I ax two kilograms of meat in 3 min. Never lock although I put the meat with fat. And even if one day it happens, there is a function reverse (the button is located behind the camera) And the "sausage" kit is just awesome. 2 meters of sausage in 5 minutes too. Easy to install: Can not go wrong, easy to disassemble and clean. Some reviews talked about the loud noise; it is indeed a bit noisy but frankly I do hits a bit: I did not ax meat 4am when the whole house is asleep. All I ask is to be practical and efficient, and that's the case. For sound, we just compare it to a vacuum cleaner so it will again. Most often they use the vacuum cleaner and longer too. A purchase I do not regret.
