Never a problem

I bought a mixer w/the grinder around 2000 my wife used it more than I did, I made jerky 2-3 times a year she used it 4-5 times a month now that she is gone my daughter has the mixer with the same grinder attachment they are still used today. I am considering getting the mini for me as i have a small Kitchen and need a good mixer and I want the best.
My husband bought our KitchenAid stand mixer during the spring of 1989 along with the accessory bundle. It is a fantastic appliance and I couldn't cook as easily without it. I have sung its praises ever since I started using it. As a matter of fact three of my friends/family have bought one based on my insistence that it is a quality product and our daughter and son in law were very happy to receive theirs as a wedding gift from us.
That having been said, the housing on the meat grinder is cracked. I can't say when it did cracked as it has languished in the drawer for many years. Also, we have put it in the top tray of the dishwasher to clean and sanitize it and I don't know if we weren't supposed to do that. The plastic could have become brittle and just cracked. After reading the other reviews complaining about the same issue I am thinking my justifications as to why it cracked are less likely. The only reason I am writing this review now after all these years is because I am surprised and upset that it did crack as it really hasn't been used that often. Also when we were making sausage the meat would squish out around the plate area but I attributed that to it being plastic and not able to seal well. I see other people have had the same issue though.
I'm sorry for the length of this review. I wanted to be clear on the reason for the complaint as I do like the mixer.
So in summary, I fully recommend the stand mixer as it seems to be of good quality and still works great even though it is 25+ years old. I have also bought other KitchenAid appliances, including our refrigerator, based on the normal quality of the company. I cannot recommend buying the grinder accessory though. It seems to have a design or material flaw and just seems cheap in comparison to the rest of the appliance.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My meat grinder wobbles and flipped many times as I was stuffing sausages. No bueno. The meat mixture does not come out unless I push it with the plastic pusher. Yes, the worm was turning when I checked. I have a video of it wobbling and not stuffing a casing at all! :-(

Re-inventing the wheel didn't work here. Make at least two metal sizes, small and maximum output meat stuffer grinders. How about adding on a set of metal cuber/tenderizers Out of metal! These inferior plastics blow up! Stop it! How did this get past any kind of American quality control? Isn't it time to BEEF up!?
