Okay, I ordered the S.T.X. MEGAFORCE 3000 SERIES and it works fine! I thought it had a SS grinder and hopper but aluminum ands still easy to clean The blades are stainless steel! The grind plates are carbon so cooking oil them up when you're done. The directions are simple. We ground into burger meat 40 lbs of meat that was previously frozen and not quite thawed out yet as in still pretty frozen. I never used speed 2 but it may have speeded things up but the machine didn't bog down enough to ever indicate it was having a problem and I couldn't work any faster anyway so... . We double ground the meat first on the wagon wheel then with fat added and a 5/32 hole hamburger grind plate. We started at 9am and were finished by noon, all wrapped and ready for freezer. We're old and we're slow! I imagine if it wasn't frozen and didn't need more cutting up, and I didn't try putting it into so many containes at first it would have been as fast as they say it is. Anyway, I'd say if your meat was cut up to size, strips or cubed 1 inch as they say it would be as fast as they say it is, I have no reason to doubt them! If it was just going back into a big meat hopper and all the fat added at once, and mixed in a big dose it would speed things up considerably. My buddy has a BIG Cabela's, Big Bucks model and I'd say, mine works as good as his for what I need to do game processing wise or buying in bulk at the meat center. NO NEED to spend more than 200.00 when a decent machine like this is available for that price or less, unless you really want to! Sauage is next! I'll let you know how THAT works out but should be fun!Read full review

It is easy to clean and operate , but it is noisier than my other small grinder and it don't grind meat as fast either , i grind 8 to 10 deer a yr and thought this grinder would be the the one but its not , it bogs down on just grinding bacon with the deer meat , it does grind the meat good thru the second time thru tho , if i had to do it over i would have bought a bigger one ,

This is by far the best meat grinder I have ever used. Fast, strong, never clogged up, never slowed down, and easy to clean. I have processed 2 deer and 1 hog so far this year and it worked great. the only downside is that this meat grinder is a light purple/lavender color, which is the only negative thing I can say about this grinder.

Everything was easy to clean. I really liked unit. But when I cleaned it in a little bit of bleach it turned the Mental on the main Peace, auger and the large Threaded piece to a dull color. I think it stripped off the Chrome Metal plating. Not cool. Looks like I've had it for 30 years now. I need to call the company to see if I can get re-Plated. But I still like the unit.
