I think its easy to clean, it's fairly large and the pieces come apart easy enough to drop in the sink and clean. the hardest part is the the main tube but my hand fits in far enough to use the wash cloth in it. as far as 50 pounds every few days I don't know. I use mine once a month to grind 50 pounds of dog food I would think it would do ok but may not last as long with continued use. (IDK shoulder shrug)

very easy clean up. goes in dishwasher just fine. no problem with the 50 lb. in 3 days. did 2 deer in an hour, motor never even warmed up.

For the most part, it is fairly easy to clean, especially with the optional cleaning kit. It will not have any trouble handling 50 pounds of meat at one time, but don't have any idea what the lifespan would be, grinding this amount every three days. Maybe the company could give you some input.

I LOVE this gadget - meat is always tender and cooks faster. But you have to be disciplined enough to immediately rinse it off after using. I use a dish brush to wash between the tines & rinse well with hot water. Others have said you could put in dishwasher but I havent' tried it.

I think it is very easy to clean! I've been cleaning it every two weeks, seems to be good enough. I fill it probably every 2-3 days with about 2 C. of water as maintenance.

yes it is easy to clean, I use it all the time. I only wish it were a 10 inch when it comes to slicing baked ham and sirloin steak for philly cheese steaks. but it's durable and easy to use.

I only use it on the holidays-(so I forget what comes off)-but--any part that can come off that's not electrical I took off---and threw in the dishwasher-and it's ok so far--I do wish these companies made it easier to clean inside-----my old old old meat cutter came apart to the point you could get to the motor to clean around --it. Now a days I worry about left over meat inside the cutter and every time I use it I whisper to myself---use at your own risk. I do but it bothers me--I clean to the best of my ability but my old machine from the 80's came apart to clean or at least brush off crumbs all through the machine.

I apologize for my late answer. Yes it is fairly easy to clean. Do not wait to long to clean this product. It can start to smell. I use some bathroom cleaner and water to rinse it out. You got to disinfect! It is convenient to used especially for a guy who delivers the mail with no washroom in sight.

Yes it is and I really like this unity. I have cooked Lamb Chops, Pork chops, Tri-Tip, Hamburgers, Pork loin, all with no problems and clean up is not bad. If you soak the grill first in soapy water, it cleans up easy.

I have had no problems, I just use the moist setting and it works great. I have done ground meat without any trouble. I have also done chickenafter it has been rinsed and drained.

This thing has been incredible. My wife and I dont have kids yet so we just go and buy a whole pork loin because its dirt cheap and i cut it in to roasts and chops and some chunks for stir fry and then we vacuum seal everything up all at once. Well we have had this thing over a year and done chicken and steaks and all sorts or cheeses. We are pretty hard on it. We went through two food savers in two years and they weren't the cheap ones. They were under warranty but i dont like purchasing things because of the warranty. I am fairly frugal but I am not scared to spend on quality and this is it.

This is easily cleaned. It works well for me, both with raw and cooked meat. I've not used it with nuts or bones, so I can't speak to that.

We've had ours for quite some time, but we handle it with care when cleaning. It's not overly sturdy but the size is terrific and so far, so good.

The unit is very easy to clean. I don't find it slimy at all. It is a little tricky placing one of the foam filters in the correct spot and removing and repositioning the plastic piece. I have found that it is easier to position the motor in it's place after the foam and plastic piece slide into place. Once you do this once, it is easier to do as you know how to position it. The unit is very easy to clean and all the parts are plastic and can be washed with hot water and dish soap. There are no areas that require a brush or hard to get to.

The way it grinds chicken bones so easily, I'm sure it would go right through that paua meat like butter, I made sausage a few weeks ago, was able to grind about 55 pounds of pork in about 21 minutes, very capabile

I am very happy with this grill. It cleans up beautifully even after grilling meat that has a sticky marinade. I would soak the grill in soapy water if there is coaked on residue but I have never had a problem getting it clean. I only use a plastic scrubber to avoid scratching the surface. I have another grill pan by Le Creuset that I spent 4x the amount for and it is impossible to get clean after soaking. This grill is a much better option in my opinion.

It's not super heavy duty. But it isn't light cheap crap either. It's a decent quality, unless you plan on doing hardcore super grilling on a daily basis. I have a family of 5 and it's held up great. And we grill about every week, all year long. Including in the snow of Michigan. Hope that helps.

I've used the meat grinder - and i'd say it works well. it's a small attachment - small capacity - and you just keep adding the meat. The power /motor seems adequate.
