I found it worked very well for me. The only thing I don't know at this time, is how it will hold up, still to early, but I'm very happy with the purchase.
Used it once so far to make hamburger,semi froze the meat and the grinder worked great with easy clean up after. I recommend this product for household use.
I love my meat grinder! I been able to make chicken burgers, chicken meatballs, chicken meatloaf and so much more! I bought a bunch of boneless skinless chicken breast and just been having a lot of fun with it! I use it at least once a week. It's just another Cuisinart to add to my ever growing collection of Cuisinart products!
