Overview
LEM's BigBite #8 is a 0.5 HP stainless steel electric meat grinder bundled with a foot switch, three grinding plates, a knife, a stomper and sausage stuffing tubes, built for home butchering and bulk meat prep.
- 0.5 HP stainless steel motor and auger
- Bundle includes foot switch, three plates and stuffing tubes
- Rated to grind about 7 lbs per minute
- Five-year factory warranty, one-year on foot switch
Who it's for
Fits hunters, home butchers and sausage makers processing deer, hogs or bulk cuts regularly. Not the right pick for someone who only grinds a pound or two occasionally, or who specifically wants a grinder rated for bones.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers who process deer, goats and bulk dog food describe it as far more capable than a stand-mixer attachment, crediting the stainless plates and auger with cutting prep time by roughly two-thirds on large batches. Complaints are minor: a couple of reviewers found meat sticks in the back of the grinding chamber making cleanup slower, one said the foot switch was not necessary and even got in the way, and another noted the motor ran hot after processing 37 pounds in one session.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Stainless plates and auger handle heavy game processing
- Foot switch bundle allows hands-free operation
- Five-year factory warranty on the grinder
- Cuts large-batch prep time significantly per owners
- Manufacturer says it is not rated for bones
- Meat can stick in the chamber, slowing cleanup
- Foot switch unnecessary or awkward for some users
Performance notes
The 0.5 HP motor and BigBite auger design pull larger chunks of meat through the hopper, which LEM rates at about 7 lbs per minute. The bundle's foot switch frees both hands for feeding meat, and the three stainless plates plus stuffing tubes cover everything from coarse grinding to sausage casing work.
