Guide Gear Stainless Steel Meat Mixer - 4.2-Gallon, 17-Lb. Capacity

There are lots of bad reviews on Meat Mixers. This one works great and without issue. I mixed 15 pounds of meat at a time and processed a 300 pound hog into breakfast sausage. I've got no complaints

Suction cup feet do not suction well and you're forced to hold it down as you turn it. It also doesn't mix as well as I'd hoped. The stainless finish is a bit rough and not easily cleaned. It's not perfect but does get the job done.

I wanted to make a huge batch of mirepoix to store and freeze. I wasn't looking forward to mixing it in a bowl since it'd be multiple batches. This thing let me turn it into two batches of beautifully mixed onion, celery, carrots, plus I threw in belle peppers and jalapenos because it was so easy with the two devices.

We use it for mixing jerky meat, works great.

I use this to make sausage. Its a good tool, but it's not worth what is being charged here. First, it's aluminum, not stainless. That's ok, I prefer aluminum because it chills fast. But its pretty stupid to get this wrong in the description. Second, keep your pliers handy because the plastic knobs that attach the paddle to the handle will break when you try to tighten them. Third, good luck with replacement parts. I called the number listed in the manual for more plastic handles....no one answered. So, no customer service. I'll keep using it because it does the job, but I would not buy another one at the price being charged today.

Handles are reverse threaded so the more resistance from the meat the more tension on the threads. Apparently enough to crack the plastic handle used to screw it on during my 1st use it flew across the table. I'm going to try a drill attachment mixer which would likely be 10 times easier to clean. It might work but I'm not going back to the mixer until several other options are exhausted.

After years of mixing meat by hand i finially broke sown and bought this mixer wish id have done it years ago mixes evenly and quickly i mixed 5 lb , 10lb and 20lb batches all with a breeze its easy enough to clean in regular kitchen sink if you have a sprayer other wise a deep simk would be better

Looks good but haven’t used it yet
