I found this to be a very easy to use accessory. I don't understand the negative reviews unless it's simply user error. It worked great for me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Was worried but it worked great

After reading so many negative comments, I was a little concerned. But for the price we thought we would try it. Following directions made the process simple and quick. Only downside was the size and design of the plunger. It let too much mix come back up the tube (easy to remedy). It is best with two people working it. You're not going to make several hundred pounds in an afternoon, but it is great for a 5-10 lb run for the family.

worked great for me.... first timer

Received it as a gift. First time ever attempting to make my own sausages. I cubed the meat, put it in the freezer for a 1/2 hr, then ran it through the grinder, then mixed in herbs and seasonings. Then put it back in the freezer for another 1/2 hr to stiffen it up again. I then ran it through the grinder into the prepared natural casing. I had to work it a bit the fill the casing evenly and push out a little air here and there. But I thought it went pretty smoothly considering it was the first time I used this thing. There was one thing that i didn't like but it wasn't a gamechanger. The grinder got a little warm after running it for a while. I put it in the freezer with the meat before grinding/stuffing the second round. As long as the meat was cold enough to start with, it never got too warm by the time I got into the casing. I'm no Abe Froman, but I think the negative reviews were due to user error or too high of expectations.... I thought this unit worked rather well, especially for the price. Just don't expect to crank out 100 sausages an hour.

I love this because it allows me to be able to Use my existing appliances with only buying an adapter without out having to buy a separate piece of machinery .I absolutely love my Mixer, with the same adapter I can make Jams and other interesting recipes I couldn't do before with out having a whole arsenal of Appliances.

Don't believe the negative reviews, they're doing it wrong.

The attachment works perfectly. The complaints about the plunger being too small and the air in the casing is due to user error. A little bit of air gets into every sausage maker. For the first pass, tie a knot in the casing for the end and add a tiny hole. Push all of the filling into the casing until it's one continuous tube. Start from the end and choose the length of sausage you want, then make a gap to get the end of the link. Twist the casing around to tighten. Continue down to the tube to keep making same sized sausages. Let the cool. Before or after cooking, depending on whether you smoke, grill, boil or fry, you can cut the spaces between the sausages. Go look at some youtube videos for how-to. The extra air is fine, you just have longer casings than you would otherwise

Worked fine for me.

Was totally impressed with the grinder attachment for processing deer, and wanted to try making sausage, too, so bought the sausage maker kit. I'm with the last reviewer -- I think the people with negative reviews must have been doing something wrong. I just made 5 lbs. of pepper sticks and it went very smoothly. Had none of the problems described below, with the exception of one or two air bubbles; even that was rare, and a pin hole solved it.
The meat I used was ground fine beforehand, which I'm guessing makes a big difference. Trying to grind AND stuff simultaneously doesn't seem to work, which is probably why the instructions don't recommend that.
I had a helper feeding the ground meat while I stuffed the casings, which definitely helped -- I think I could have done it single-handed, but it wouldn't have been as easy. All in all, the sausage maker worked fine, and I would definitely recommend it to a friend.
I was skeptical when my wife wanted to buy one of the pricier KitchenAid mixers. But I've processed eight deer in the last two months with it, and I'm a believer. Hobart it ain't, but it's pretty darn good.

Disappointed

Bought this product a week ago. Had my daughter and a good friend come over to have a sausage making party. Everyone who gave this product a critique about the plunger is correct. I was not grinding the meat as it was cut extremely small but used the auger to stuff the casings. Too much air got into the casing because the plunger didn't work well. The meat continually got stuck, squashed, oozed from gaps everywhere. So I came online to see if Kitchenaid makes a 1.5" attachment and found that I'm not the only one extremely disappointed. So sorry I wasted my money on this. There were a lot of other products comparable in price that would have been better. I trusted Kitchenaid name. I won't do that again
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I make a lot of home made sausage. In about 5lb batches. I replaced the pusher with an oak dowel, as the plastic pusher gathers as much meat as is passed through. I enjoy this device immensely and use it often. In fact I have worn out the tubes and will be replacing them.
