It is the same grinder attachment, just with the juicer and feed attachments. I would not use it for heavy duty grinding but it worked fine with my figs raisins and nuts. Be sure your auger is set in place correctly and the grind plate is seated at the notch.

My husband is an avid hunter and we do our own processing. I have used it for grinding deer meat into burger and chuck roasts into burger. The only problem I have run across is maybe needing to clean the blade a couple times. I love the attachment!

I agree with the other responders, it is not designed for commercial use, but with care & occasional cleaning it works great!

First of all I love the 840 machine. Does everything perfectly well. I use the separate Brevell smart grinder. That also works just fine for my needs grinds everything exactly the way I want. The reason I have them separate is because I've just never a fan of combined machines in case something goes wrong with one or the other.

i would say YES, but i do not have this attachment, i have the one that slices/grates, like this one, KitchenAid RVSA Slicer/Shredder Attachment for Stand Mixers and even then i think it might work....sorry i wasn't much help.

I don't think Kitchenaid makes this grease. It is a food grade high temp grease. I am quite sure you can do a little bit of web searching to find the same grease in a smaller container to repair your mixer. The thing is the time your mixer will be out of commission while waiting for replacement. It will come quick from Amazon, but it will be way, way more than you need.

Hi Carol. The blades on one of the attachments is metal and very sharp/the others are plastic. The ice crusher, smoothie one you use the metal one. But it is just like a knife, be careful how you handle it in the dishwasher, etc. Also, something I keep messing up on: Put the attachment in FIRST before your food... It might be common sense to most but I had a previous one that didn't allow removal pieces.

That's an excellent question. I had no prior experience with a stand mixer, so was surprised how fast the slow/low speed was . . . however, it serves great. There are some cakes I still choose to mix by hand, because overmixing will 'toughen' the end result. But for bread, this is unbeatable!!

I am using the Premier brand (the image showing). This is good one as reviewed several comments on amazon. I am using for grind Dosa mix/ Idali mix( urad dhal + rice + water).. This is a wet grinder. Came with extra dough mixer attachment also. Some review says we could buy coconut scrap attachment for this.I have no idea about the Ultra brand wet grinder.

I purchased the off brand Kitchenaid bowl and it works fine with the proline mixer. I have used it frequently when baking and have had no problems. It appears to be a little heavier stainless steel than the kitchenaid bowl that came with the mixer.

Mine does quite well. I just love the Quisinart. I do a lot of grinding and the grinder is just great. I am very pleased with the mixer. The grinder I bought separately of course.

Grinds real fast. Difference is all the teeth end up the same where hand file creates uneven teeth. All depends on how hard you grind and how bad the teeth are.

The answer is I don't know as I do not have the KitchenAid mixer. But, I do know that KitchenAid has a varity of mixers starting with the KitchenAid Classic 75 model with only a 275 watt motor all the way up to the KitchenAid Pro 600 with a 575 watt motor. All require an additional purchase of the grinder attachment. None of these can match the 600 watt power of the SM-G73 Grinder I described above. So, you decide. I hope this helps.

Hi Jennifer, my understanding of all KitchenAid attachments is that they work with any KitchenAid stand mixer. You can visit their home page and get more details at http://kitchenaid.com. I hope my response has been helpful to you.

its a very durable high quality hand mixer -great for general mixing -but if its a hook you require ( for stuff like pizza dough etc. )the more durable stand Kitchen aid mixer is what you should use !

I just got the grain grinder attachment for Mother's Day! I used to have a Komo grain mill, capable of very fine grinding. The flour I get from grinding with the attachment isn't quite as fine, but is still very good. I use it for my weekly bread baking without much loss in quality. I don't have the pasta attachment or blender yet, but I do have the shredder and the juicer. I love both. Overall, like the Verona the attachments seem to be very well made.

I haven't had that unfortunate experience. My Flojet has worked pretty well. It should grind up most non-solid stuff. Long fibers might be a problem.I learned to tip the Flojet up during the last rinse, after I found small amounts of non digested seeds and grit at the bottom of the dump hose. There might be some small fibers or hair left on the cutters.Definitely not a real pleasant task!

Perhaps we will find out which is apt to burn out from both our experiences with our particular model. I really do not know which is apt to burn out more quickly. You could be right in your opinion, we do not know yet. I use my grinder perhaps twice a year. When I do, I process a few hundred pounds of meat. Last year was the first time I used an electric grinder and the 3000 is the first that I have owned. Its performance was excellent. Only time will tell if it holds up. Good luck!

I am not sure if I have had both to compare. Mine is the 5 speed and I am happy with that. What I liked most is that the regular and dough beaters are stronger than the ones I had with my last Kitchenaid.
