I have that Moulinex (2nd one listed at that cite), if it can be
obtained at that price ($85) buy it, it's a wonderful grinder. It's
made in France, I bought mine when on a vacation in Canada 20 years
ago and paid more than $85. A few years ago I upgraded to a larger
grinder, the Waring Pro... the larger the grinder the better the
grind. Cabela's has a large selection of grinders to suit all needs.
Don't even consider that toys r us kitchen aid stand mixer attachment,
it'll ruin your expensive meat... better to put that $50 towards a
real grinder. I don't think any home cook needs a commercial grinder
but if you have the bucks, the space, and the strength to lift it go
for it. The Waring Pro gives a high quality grind, and Cabela's has a
great price:
