I use the TurboForce for cat food. Small bones &amp; tendons clog the blade &amp; I have to stop several times to disassemble &amp; clean.Will the MegaForce work?

One of the things we use it for is dog food. We buy 40 pound boxes of frozen chicken necks, and sometimes mixed in with those are wing tips. None of it clogs the machine. What we do, and I'd suggest to do the same, is use the stuffing head- the one with three large slots, instead of any of the ones with rows of holes (made for ground meat). The auger pushes everything through, and the blade cuts it all up, even when frozen. Bones, fat, skin are no problem. I even use the three hole head when grinding elk or goat meat for us. It can be left that way for coarse ground meat, or used as a first pass. We've gotten to really like the coarse ground meat (because it has texture), so usually only use that head for everything. The machine has never given us a problem. That said, We haven't tried to feed it anything as large as a chicken leg bone or heavier. I'm sure there are large/tough enough bones to jam any machine. But we really like ours. (so do the dogs and cats!) good luck.

I have the STX Turbo Force 300 and for cooling it draws air from below and exhausts it out the back, so I'm really not convinced that the "cowl induction" on the Mega Force 3000 does anything but look kind of 1950s cool . . . The Mega Force comes with a "beaner plate" that makes sausage stuffing into casings SLIGHTLY easier than using the coarse plate that come with the Turbo Force 300.The Turbo Force works really well for the sausage and ground beef making that I do . . . and that's up to 30 pounds per day when I make it . . . and I really haven't put a "strain" on the grinder with all that I've done.

I found the same problem, and more, and returned my Dyson. It proved useless for everything, let alone animal hair. The attachment that is supposed to be so useful for animal hair is not even motor-powered, the sweeping mechanism is weakly powered by the suction only; the vacuum is bulky, the wand is ridiculously cumbersome. It all hype and no convenience or action. I bought a Kenmore no-bag cannister model and it's great, especially for animal hair.

Hi Joe. Hey, if it were me, I wouldn't personally use this product to remove mats from cats. I have had some experience with removing "cat mats" and have found that the small, round ended scissors for babies' nails, etc. work really well for removing the matted hair on cats. With the rounded edges, you don't worry about poking and cutting them and they are small enough to get down close to the skin if necessary and snip the mat out. I love this product for cutting my hair, but I truly believe that you need something much smaller and more precisely gauged to snip out the mats on a cat. Hope this helps. Hi Joe.

It seemed more like a toy than a kitchen tool, it only made smooth. I returned it and bought a ninja. We can make chuncky or smooth with it, plus use it for a hundred other things.

The Pet Power Paw works great!!!! I have a cat tree with three shelves, carpeted, leading up to the top circle and use the power paw on this and it does an outstanding job. This machine is very powerful whether using just the vacuum or the attachments. I would highly recommend for anyone with multiple cats. It is heavy and if you have stairs it is a consideration.

I use Everclean multicat. It clumps very hard. The machine has never needed more than two tries to empty. DO NOT USE ARM & HAMMER unless you are tired of the machine and want to kill it off. I turns into a mass of clay the machine simply can't deal with.

It sounds like you are looking for a sticky "masking tape" type of device. The Scotch Fur Fighter system works with a special fabric that is flexible so that it fits perfectly on to the Fur Fighter tool. The fabric has itty bitty teeth, kinda like Velcro, that very efficiently pulls pet hair from whatever other fabric surface you wish. It's very well designed especially for those pet hairs that have worked their way into the fibers of whatever you are trying to clean. And, BONUS, it's actually much more cost effective for home use. But if you are on the run, travelling, or in your car, then, yes, the sticky back type roller would probably better serve your needs.

I use Shark, I've been very satisfied with them. I accidentally ordered the double blades, but found that it's very easy to snap them in half. I haven't looked to see whether this saves me any money, since the blades are so inexpensive to begin with.

I do not have any direct experience with the Ninja 800 series with the dual speed blades. The theory looks good, and I would guess it works very well. Since you appear to want to do smoothies (from your purchase of the NutriBullet) the dual speed blade would only come into play if you are using the large 72 oz pitcher, as the individual cups would get a single speed blade. I choose the 700 series with the single speed blades because we wanted the accessories that came with that model, and to have the ability to do various tasks. As far as our 770 series, the unit has performed well over the few months we have owned it. In the first week, I tried all the functions, crushing ice, making smoothies, making bread dough, chopping vegies, and mixing cake batter. All functions worked great. In the long haul, we have made bread dough, do cake & brownie mixes, cookie dough, and blend ground turkey with other meats (for flavor). We want to do more smoothies, it does a fantastic job on them, but haven't done many yet. It runs great, does a terrific job, and cleans easily. But any type of motorized equipment can be bad out of the box, sounds like the case with your NutriBullet.

I think if it's not the exact same as what the professionals use...it's very close. Maxforce worked extremely well for me.

I am a professional barber and I use it daily. The only problem I have with it is the blades tend to get hot as I'm working. The power isn't how described so it takes me longer causing the blades to overheat. I plan on switching over to ceramic blades. I was told they don't get hot. With that said I don't see why it wouldn't work on your pet. Unless you have them constantly running.

Double edge persona blade or shark blades work well too. Once you put it in between the clamps an close the lever to lock it in, it works wonders.

Absolutely. That is the smartest way to use it. I went for the extra large too. I have 3 small dogs and a cat. They say not to use on cat but I heard it's perfectly fine. I don't use too much and I get more bang for my buck. Good luck.

I bought to use on my cat. The noise scared him so I turned it off and just used the blade without the motor. It is for light weight work. I would not recommend for heavy clumps.

I would think so if the inside diameter of the turbo fits snugly over the bolt where you have to tap it in with a hammer. The turbo blades can then grip and dig into the bolt. Go slow and use a long bar for leverage and it will give smoothly.

Hi Seth,It doesn't work as great on the chunks of food like Cheerios when you use the floor attachment. If you use just the wand for quick touch ups and you don't want to bend over then it's OK. I have found that it's a great fly catcher and spider sucker upper though!
