TVWBB All-Star
I decided that I needed a meat grinder for personal use. I've been looking at them for well over a year (I'm a research freak) and after looking at ratings ("top 5" or "top 10" meat grinders under $200...), one kept coming to the top of the listings. It was delivered Tuesday...bought it from Amazon (using the TVWBB link). I got the STX Turboforce 3000. Goofy name but has enough power to be considered as the closest thing to a commercial grinder (without actually being one) out there. I haven't even taken it out of the box yet....
When I clock out from work at 0700 on Wednesday, Nov 26th (gotta work a 12 hour graveyard shift) I will be free and clear to play whenever I want...RETIREMENT AWAITS after 36 years as a Radiologic Technologist (plus 2 years as a student)! After that date is when I am planning on trying it out with 6 lbs of pork butt that will wind up as breakfast sausage patties...the 10 lb butt is headed towards buckboard bacon territory.
I will post regarding it's performance, but from everything I've read online and in reviews it will be overkill for us, and that's OK - it'll last. The #12 throat and 3 year warranty helped sway my decision as well as it being the #1 best selling grinder on Amazon. I will attempt some pictures of it in action, but I am a landscape person...my skills at indoor photos is greatly lacking. Maybe I should use it outside...
