After butchering fresh game, it tends to be pretty bloody &amp; I want to know if blood gets sucked up into the machine motor or how does it deal with?

I've had blood reach the tip of the machine. My solution: freeze the item flat in a closed zip-lock. Then, open the zip-lock, place it inside the Waring bag, and suck both bags. Also makes clean-up of the re-useable Waring bags a lot easier!

The part were the meat comes out comes completely off and the anger comes out. I use a long cleaning brush inside the barrel to get the left over chunks out and a normal wash sponge for the rest in hot water with dawn dish soup and a cap of bleach. Its all stainless steel so I don't worry about rust

It will kill anything you put it on. You will need to cut the top part off again to create the "open fresh" wound and then put it over the entire top. Wear gloves and do not get it on anything else.

I would think as long as you get the extractor pump on the bite quickly you could suck the venom out before it gets in the blood stream. I would certainly get to a doctor ASAP even after using the extractor for some anti venom.

Its blood, from the whole animal, most likely cow. After the animal is butchered, the blood is collected and dried to make a powder. Works great for a garden.

Not sure exactly what u mean. Meat goes in red comes out red. Sounds like a cleaning issue or a friction heat issue with meat coming out grey.

You may have to go over the carpet a few times since it has been a year....i cleaned fresh blood out of a dirty carpet with this machine but it did take pre treaing and 2 cleaning attempts...this is a good machine for "ongoing" routine cleaning...

The only instance of blood I can recall is the series of static dark red spots at the end of the Subspace Emissary campaign on the white glove of [redacted] due to [redacted]. It's nothing graphically shocking though, unless you count a small coagulated prick shocking, and it is used for dramatic effect in the story. Otherwise, though, it's fine, and that's minor. Pretty much just cartoon violence.

I reciecved it on time, but returned it the next day. I thought it was so dangerous because when you try to place the blades in order in side it every time you switch or try to clean it, they are so sharp that you will always get cut. I actually bought it for my mom, but she is diabetic so handling such blades will cost her hands. Not only to her but anyone who uses this machine. I was cut 2 times in first use and she got 1 cut so I returned.

Hi! I recently experienced a similar problem! I had removed all the filters (there are three removable ones - two foam and one white paper), washed them all, cleaned everything off the beater bar/roller, shook out the tube/hose, even unscrewed the bottom and cleaned out whatever I could find there too! Still, as soon as I turned it on, it was going to red! Grrrrrr I FINALLY found the problem. You might have already checked this, but just in case, sharing it here. It might help you or someone else. When looking at back of the vacuum, on the right side, BEHIND the main tube/hose, you can see the tube attach to the black vacuum base which feeds into the clear body where the dirt goes in. I could not see any clogs anywhere. BUT - this part of the tube/hose COMES OFF - it is easy to overlook, but it twists and releases. I did that as a last resort, and found my problem! There was a piece of paper in there, and all kinds of dirt and hair (we all shed some and have two cats) were packed pretty solid behind the paper! It took a tool like a crochet hook to get it all out and unpacked! (I have a metal "tube turner" for sewing, which is what I used, but anything super thin and long can work, as long as you do not go THROUGH the hose.) I took an amazing amount of junk that had not come out when shaking the hose, cleaning things, even taking the rest of the vacuum apart... it hides in that last curve of the hose! I hope this helps someone else, because this is a great little powerhouse of the vacuum that is perfect for our little townhouse. But the clogging does happen sometimes, and I've now found the FIRST place I'll look, instead of the dead last! ;-)

No. Although after cutting raw meat on it, I've noticed a little bit of a red hue but it's not noticeable unless I look really carefully.

I have not experienced this problem. Might try rinsing with white vinegar. I would also make sure there isn't any food residue stuck under the blade area.

Haven't had much of any issues there. ONce I thought I had actually damaged the inside surface down toward the blades. No chance on that. Cleaned up real nice after running it through the dishwasher. Other than that, the other responses seem to echo mine.

That depends on the veggies you are using. I have used almost every veggie and fruit you can think of and haven't run into any issues, so it is really as fast as you can put the veggies in, it will crank out juice and pulp. The machine will also juice the pulp again from the first go around to get even more out of the remains!

It works very well!!! Using it for sausage making as well. I never autoclaved it, but depending on the method you could.

No. And it also does not understand that the half eaten rat/mouse your cat hid under the couch is not meant to be dragged around the floor leaving a trail of blood and guts! iRobot actually let us return our old Roomba for a new one when this happened. Amazing, though I wonder how the poor guy in customer service felt when he opened the return box filled with putrefied animal parts.....
