Where is the item manufactures; how many lb of beef can I grind in 10 minutes; how easy to clean?

made in Canada..guessing you can grind 1 lb cut up into medium pieces..easy to clean..if you plan on grinding meat often and in large quantities, this is not for you

I only used it for grinding small amounts but I found it did a great job. It comes apart easy for cleaning and did not find it hard to clean.

YES! This meat grinder is amazing!! I had actually bought the Kitchenaid meat grinder attachment first, but it couldn't handle really processing meat. My husband and I needed to grind up our deer & hog meat from a recent hunting trip. I LOVE my Kitchenaid mixer, don't get me wrong, but when it comes to grinding meat--this thing is the way to go! It is easily about 10x faster than the Kitchenaid..and our meat grinder attachment from Kitchenaid began to spit grease into our meat after a while because it couldn't handle the job. I would definitely recommend this meat grinder. It was a great buy, and a durable, fast meat grinder! YES! This meat grinder is amazing!!

I have only used it once...grinding wild turkey meat. It worked well and was reasonably easy to clean. For your intended use, I would go up to 1.5 or 2 Hp.

I can't give you that precise an answer, but it is not a time consuming process. Takes me less than 2 minutes each time. The secret to a good grind is getting the setting as fine as you want by adjusting the nut on top (which you can then leave there), and turning at a consistent rate. You can't beat the flavor and aroma!

My grinding unit is not marked. However, I believe this was manufactured in China. I threw the box away, so I can't be sure. I seriously doubt anyone in the US would manufacture and sell a unit like this for $60 out the door. You didn't ask, but I'll tell you I'm happy with it. Some of the silver (galvanized?) paint/plating will come off with use. I've probably ground up 100 lbs or so of deer meat so far with it. Keep your cutter and plate free of sinew, and it should do very well for you. I hooked mine up to a 1.5hp motor. Works great. Also, clean your bearings immediately after use and DRY THEM. I found out the hard way if you don't get them completely dry, they will rust. I had left them in the utensil holder on my dish rack to drip dry, and it didn't work out very well. I recommend drying the best you can (maybe low pressure from an air compressor?), and then lubricate with some kind of approved food-grade / edible lubricant to keep the bearings from rusting. I ended up putting my bearings in a rock tumbler with some media to get the rust off, and then they were fine. Good luck.

I do 18g on a medium grind (7 clicks from tightest setting) and it doesn't take more than a minute. I can time it next time I use it.EDIT 9/18/14: I timed it and 18g took 60 seconds.

I have found plates at Cabela's. I have taken the old plate with me to match the size. I think you would be able to find them online, but I haven't looked. I have had the original plates since I purchased the meat grinder in the early 80's and they still work great. They will rust, at least mine will, so wash and dry them thoroughly before storing. Hope this 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.

The stainless steel makes it easy to clean up the exterior, and the pan. The tubular parts are difficult to clean, but are no harder than any other grinder I have used or seen. The grinder plates that go on the end are easiest to clean with either a toothpick, or high-pressure water. I've ground up three moose with mine already, and I still love it.

The feed tube measures 1 5/8" inside diameter. I slice my meat in strips and insert it into the tube. The grinder sucks the meat down and through almost as fast as I can feed it. I grind about 10 pounds of meat at least once a month and have had no problems. I have been very pleased with the speed and ease of grinding my meat. I had previously owned a grinder that was a real pain to use.

Surprised to hear it didn't have instructions. I love mine and got some good tips from the videos on the LEM website. The best one that helped me is rolling your ground beef into small logs that allows you to drop them into the tube. It makes loading much easier. Go on YouTube to get other ideas.

LOL, I haven't used it yet! I believe it is. I washed it and put it on the counter. I have beans to grind next week when my current batch runs out.

Not that hard. I put some of it in the dishwasher but if you have a brush you can do it by hand easily. 15 - 20 minutes. the grinder works well

The grinder is made form plastic. I've had it for a few weeks, it works really well especially for small amounts of meat which I use it for.

I have been grinding dog food for several years using primarily a mixture of chicken, bones and all, wings and legs are the easiest, and deer meat if I can get it. I started using a Sam Baere machine, I'm not sure if it was the 110 or larger model. It worked but I had to chop up the chicken which was a real pain. After burning up two of the smaller machines, I finally ordered a Same Baere Model SB840. It was a little pricey but well worth it. I don't have to chop wings or drumsticks. Just feed them in whole. If you are going to grind chicken bones, this machine is what you need.

It is fast for a grinder this small. It still works very well after several years of service. I have made sausage and venison hamburger as well as other small tasks.
