I bought my Avantco meat grinder at the Webstaurant store on line just like I bought many other items from them, like most of other products that I bought from this company it break as soon as the warranty ends, niether Webstaurant store or Avantco want to take responsibility and help to fix it, When ever you order something from Webstaurant store or Avantco you should know this products are not lasting for long. I am very unsatisfied.

Thank you for the review. We’re sorry this machine did not last for you and we really are quite apologetic that we could not help you in this matter. To help this grinder last to its full potential, we recommend regularly lubricating this unit.

This is a gigantic money saver for me! In my restaurant, we cut our own steaks and other meats, giving us the chance to still use some of the trimmings from our tenderloins and sirloins, turning them into the best darn burgers you'll ever have!

The MG12 makes processing meats unbelievably easy. I've never used a machine that was so easy to use. Calling this grinder "Heavy Duty" doesn't do it justice, the weight of the machine alone confirms that this is a commercial grinder. I will definitely be recommending this grinder to anyone looking for a serious meat grinder. As far as appliances go, this is the best purchase I've ever made.

I was initially worried reading the product description that it wouldn't be tough enough to handle my kitchens volume. This is simply not the case... we are a sausage company and we grind meat every other day... this little guy can do 20-25lbs. in a few minutes. Very easy to clean, and not too loud. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for good quality and good price.

Good grinder for the money. Send about a hundred lbs a week through it. Have been using it for about 6 months now and it's still working fine.

We used to bring our meats with the attachment for the mixer but we never liked having raw meat near the mixer that we mainly use for dough. This little guy is powerful and heavy duty!

this grinder is a commercial grade grinder with plenty of power. my only complaint is that it ships with sausage stuffing funnels but you have to order the disc for it to be able to stuff into casings.should be included with the machine

What a great asset!! Pays for its self the first time you do not have to buy a case of ground beef. I would recommend getting some spare Washers (MG12) to have on hand.

This grinder does an excellent job. We were using a smaller grinder before and it was taking us too long to grind meats. This grinder is a work horse!

Our kitchen crew loves this grinder! We are able to use so much more of our expensive meat "scrap" to make a delicious house blend for burgers & save alot of food costs.

Great grinder for the price. We grind our own sausage for our pizzas and it hasn't disappointed us yet and we have had it for almost a year now. Very quiet compared to the last grinder we tore up. (not this brand)

This meat grinder is the REAL DEAL! We use it daily and have never had a problem with it not grinding. Customer service is excellent as well, a big reason why we always shop at webstaurant

We have now been using this meat grinder for 4 months. We grind our own lamb and beef for sausages and lamb burgers. Absolutely no problems with it. Great price. We looked at used ones and decided not to go that route and I am glad we purchased this.

A beast! I use mine daily and it has never disappointed me! Assembly is easy, it is however heavier than it appears. I keep my grinder attachments in the freezer when not in use so when i do grind the meat stays colder and reduces bacteria growth.

This is a nice grinder for housemade sausages, mousses and pates. Easy to grind meats with spices and herbs for a perfect blend. Great to grind vegetables too.

The auger is very weak and will bend after some time. The replacement price is almost as expensive as a new machine. I grind meat daily and due to the defective auger my work is on halt.

Thank you for your review, Ziyad! We would like to gather more information about your experience with this product. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

This meat grinder was more than I needed, but from the reports of others they were disappointed they didn't get a bigger one, like this one is. I'm VERY glad we picked this one! It is BIG, & it is HEAVY, but it sure grinds the meat fast! All the items wash well in the dishwasher, although I wash plastic items by hand. The grinders don't seem to be getting dull. It cleans up very well. It fits under my kitchen cabinet. We use it once a week or more often as needed. I would recommend this to a friend.

This is a great grinder with excellent output. I bought this since I process my own wild game and this makes the job so much easier. I have also found other uses like ground turkey or grinding pork butt for sausage. Heavy duty unit and very easy to clean. Couldn’t be more pleased with this unit.

GO FOR THIS! We have the 1hp model and used it for years without any problems. It was a workhorse so we decided to upgrade to a slightly more powerful one and what a difference it has made. This is the clear winner between the 2. It costs more than the 1hp model but works twice as fast and with twice the ease. I would highly recommend this work horse of a grinder.

Built to last. Grinds big chunks of meat with no problem. Easy to disassemble to clean. No tools required to assemble or disassemble. Would definitely recommend for a table top unit.

This is a great grinder. It has worked well for our charcuterie program, which is mostly terrines and sausages. The only small drawback is that it is extremely heavy.

We love this grinder. It grinds as fast as you can feed it and does not seem to strain at all. Even deer meat does not have to have all the silver removed. I highly recommend this grinder.

I purchased this grinder as an upgrade from a locally bought smaller unit that just couldn't keep up with deer processing duty. What an upgrade! We were finally able to use it once our schedule settled down and processed about 35lbs of meat in what seemed like a couple minutes time. Cleanup was easy and the included plate sizes were perfect for the pepparjack-wurst sausage that we like to make. Excited to see how it performs next season with hopefully putting it through more of a workout. It is easy to tell this unit was made for the long haul with how heavy it is and the beautiful construction of the components. Includes a couple spare parts as well.

We purchased the Avantco MG12 grinder last year to replace a very old Hobart unit. I have been pleasantly surprised in how the Avantco keeps up with our grinding needs.

Needed to get a good heavy duty meat grinder at a reasonable price. No need to look further this unit is a great unit for any small hunter or deli or food establishment that wants to grind there own meat .
