Weston Pro Series #22 Meat Grinder & Sausage Stuffer

This is the greatest kitchen aid. It cut the grinding and the sausage making time in half. It was very easy to use and to clean.

Powerful meat grinder makes short work of grinding

This is a quality grinder as it should be for the money. We have used it to make our dog's raw food diet. We use the coarse grinder then the fine grind on chicken (bones and all). A whole chicken leg will go down the feed tube and is easily ground. This is a fairly large piece of equipment and is heavy. We keep it on a rolling table so we don't have to lift it to move. It is made out of high quality materials and the pieces can be removed for easy cleaning.

I am very happy with this grinder.Purchased this to grind meat for raw food diet for a dog.It grinds chicken bones with no effort at all, the meat and bones go through with no strain at all.I can grind and bag 35 lg of chicken [ 2 Costco bags of thighs and 1 pack of 2 whole chickens] in less then 15 minutes, it takes 2 people, one grinding, the other bagging. The skin removal from the thighs and chopping up the 2 chicken took me 45 minutes. for a total of 1 hour.Clean up is relatively easy, rinse out leftover meat with hot water, then wash with soap and rinse - about 5 minutes.This Weston grinder was a nice change compared to a purchase I made of 2 grinders of another make that were DOA and had to return them and lost over 2 months grinding de-boned and de-skinned chicken with just a Kitchen Aide grinder attachment - which is good, however just a toy comparing to this Weston grinder.I do have a suggestion to Weston, at this price point there should be no sharp edges exposed - please round off the ends of the sheet metal, or modify the design so the cover does not extend and expose the sharp edges. I used a dremel to round off the sharp edges.

I’ve waited over a long time to write this review. I purchased this as a birthday gift for processing bear and deer for my boyfriend. We have had this for going on two years this January 2025. It works like we just bought it everytime we use it! Super fast, great HP, heavy duty, sleek design and super easy to put together. It is heavy! But absolutely amazing grinder.

After I posted my terrible review, CS got in touch with me. Maybe they would have anyway and the timing was coincidental. Anyway, after a couple emails and documentation, they sent me a brand new unit. Now I can speak to the effectiveness of this machine. I use it to grind my own dog food, about 50 pounds every other week (3 hungry dogs) and it does a phenomenal job. I grind chicken (bones included), beef, organs, fruit and vegetables, and it works great. The dogs get better food than what is commercially available, at least in my price range, and I can control everything about it.I have had this for less than two months, and mid-use it stopped working. I have only used it 4 times. Initially, it was working great, but now it will not start, and worse yet, I can't get in touch with anyone in customer support. Call the number and you will just get a recording saying to fill out a report online. Well, I did that, and so far, no response. Considering this is almost a $1,000 unit, not only should it work, but when it doesn't, someone should answer the phone and help me figure this out. Ugh, I am angry about this.By the way, yes I did make sure all the outlets have power and tried pushing the circuit reset button. That's all the manual suggests.

This grinder has made my life so much easier. I suggest to place this machine on a utility cart so you can roll it away when it's not being used. It's very heavy so I keep it on the cart even when I'm using it.

The media could not be loaded. Waited years to find this meat grinder on sale, I make raw food for my dog and needed one that can handle bones. Was very happy to get this over the holidays for 20% off, about $800, and purchased the LEM foot pedal to have better control over it. Both came very highly rated, and this grinder seems to be a powerhouse, very weighty so I don't need to worry about things shifting off my countertop.Just used it the other day with great difficulty-- the grinder is wired wrong and runs BACKWARDS, making it useless. The augur pulls the meat back towards the machine, turning it into a messy paste. I disassembled and reassembled it multiple times, triple-checking everything--it simply runs in reverse when you turn it on. In order to intentionally reverse the augur, you have to physically HOLD the lever in the back past the off setting, so there's no way to accidentally run it in reverse--it's just wired wrong. When I hold it in the reverse setting, the machine grinds normally, and does a great job, but the reverse function has to be held and only reverses for a few seconds. As it stands, my $1000 grinder is nearly unusable.Considering this is a $1k piece of machinery, this is disappointing and unacceptable. I'm posting this review in the hopes of being able to edit it later, after it has been repaired or replaced. In order to get in touch with Weston's customer service, you have to email them--no phone number is available, so I'm posting this first so they can see the video. All around it's been a deeply frustrating experience that should never have happened.
