Overview
The Horus HR12MD is a 950 watt (1.3 HP) electric meat grinder built for deer processing, sausage making and pet food prep at home or on a small farm. It ships with two grinding plates, cross blades, a stuffing tube and a food pusher, running on standard 110V household power.
Its low speed screw extrusion is the notable design choice here: rather than chopping meat at high RPM, it pushes it through more slowly, which keeps friction heat down and helps avoid the smeared, cooked-looking edges that fast grinders can leave on fat. The extra-large 2.3 inch feed tray cuts down on pre-cutting meat into small chunks before it goes in.
- 950W / 1.3 HP low-speed motor
- Includes 6mm and 8mm grinding plates plus stuffing tube
- Stainless steel construction, fully detachable for cleaning
- 110V/60Hz household power
Who it's for
Suited to hunters processing deer, families running a small farm, or anyone making sausage or raw pet food in batches at home. Not built as a full-time unit for a busy butcher shop or restaurant despite the commercial-grade branding.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently call out the motor as powerful yet quiet, and one user grinding chicken and bones for a raw pet food diet said bones passed through as smoothly as meat. Another noted it comes apart easily for cleaning. No negative feedback appears in the available reviews.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Handles bone-in meat for raw pet food, per reviewers
- Runs quietly at low speed
- Stainless parts detach fully for cleaning
- Large 2.3 inch feed tray needs less pre-cutting
- Only a handful of reviews on record, so long-term reliability is unproven
- Included plates limited to 6mm and 8mm
Performance notes
The 950W motor runs at low speed by design, which reviewers describe as both quiet and strong enough to push bone-in chicken through for raw pet food without bogging down. Big cooling holes in the housing are meant to keep the motor from overheating during longer grinding sessions, which matters for anyone doing a whole deer or a large batch at once.
