Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nesco FG-350 350-Watt 6-Pound-Capacity Food Grinder
Customer Review: Very slow and doesn't work for stuffing.
Summary: 1 Stars
I have never written a bad review, but this grinder has frustrated for the last time. It is the second biggest waste of money I have ever spent. I can't even sell it because I would feel bad knowing that someone else will face the same frustrations as me. I have used it 6 times. Each time I thought I would give it one more try and try doing something a little different. Nothing worked. The two uses that I measured the time it takes to grind meat, it was 30 and 35 minutes for 8 pounds. The meat was cubed into 1 inch cubes. I could have chopped it by hand faster than the grinder works. The blade and auger rotates so slowly that a hand grinder turns faster. For stuffing, I don't know if it is the tapered tube, but the ground meat will not feed. The auger simply won't take it and or push it out of the stuffing tube. Pushing it harder with the pusher tool only pushes the feed tray off the top of the feed tube, but does not force the meat out of the stuffing tube. Simply put, don't bother with this grinder unless you like to be frustrated, in which case I will give you my grinder so you can enjoy yourself.
