That's the same as my Waring Pro but with Cabela's name on it instead.
The auger is cast aluminum... only the motor housing shroud is
stainless. It's plenty suitable for home use.

But I was referring to Cabela's commercial type machines lower down on
the page for comparison... even their largest is less than 2 HP but
costs $750. Of course no one needs those kind of grinders for home
use... the one Jill bought will be fine, especially for as often as
she'll use it and for the quantities she would likely prepare... that
grinder is still ten times better than that toys r us plastic thingie
fits the KA mixer.
