Overview
Waring builds this grinder around a brushed stainless steel housing with a die-cast hopper on top. Cubed meat goes in the hopper, a long plastic pusher feeds it into the grinder tube, and the motor pushes it through one of three metal plates. Two sausage attachments store inside the pusher.
Metal housing and a long warranty are what set this grinder apart for home sausage making, with fine, medium and coarse plates covering spreads through chili meat. Cleanup is all by hand, and the listing contradicts itself on motor wattage, so treat the lower figure as the safe assumption.
Who it's for
Home sausage making and bulk chili meat are the jobs this grinder is built around, with plates for three textures and two stuffing tubes in the box. Someone grinding a pound now and then may find the weight and hand-wash routine more than the job needs.
Pros and cons
- Brushed stainless steel housing
- Three metal cutting plates included
- Two sausage attachments store in pusher
- Five year warranty
- All parts hand wash only
- Listing states two different motor wattages
- Grinding rate not listed
- Heavy to move at the listed weight
Performance notes
Throughput depends on how fast the pusher feeds cubed meat into the tube and which plate is fitted, since the fine plate passes meat slower than the coarse one. The reverse position on the switch runs the motor the other way. Hand washing after every use is what the maker requires for the plates and attachments.
