That big 'ol case hides a measly 150w motor. I can't imagine a motor that small hanging in there when pushed. It might be adequate for grinding a couple chicken breasts for chicken salad or enough beef for a few burgers, but I can't see it pulling the load if you want to grind 10 lbs of sausage and push it into a casing. I've got an old Sears grinder that's barely adequate and it's got a 370w motor. Now, the drive goes through a 90 deg set of bevel gears, but even with 30% power loss, that's still 250w for grinding. And mine is half the size of the MG100. You might look at these grinders if you want some serious power. http://www.chefknivestogo.com/meatgrinders.html nb |

(At least not anymore). I use a Rival Model 2100M with a 225 Watt motor. It has no trouble with ten pound batches. Mine is pretty old and has a solid cast aluminum grinder housing with a plastic auger. I think they're mostly all plastic now. M&M |

Their recipe book, available free online in pdf format, also offers tips, recipes, etc. that look great for the first time sausage maker. (not affilated, just a customer). http://www.sausagesource.com/Merchan...tegory_Code=EG Pierre |
