Amazon.com Review:
This tool increases the fun factor of your KitchenAid stand mixer several times over. Toss cubes of meat into the food tray, stomp 'em down, and watch the results wriggle out the front. Grind your own beef or chicken for patties or tacos. Blend your own sausage mixtures, from breakfast to boudin blanc. With additional attachments, you can turn it into a pasta maker or a sausage stuffer. It's easy to assemble and use. Most parts are dishwasher-safe; hand wash the grinding blades, wooden stomper, and cutting knife. --Betsy Danheim

Rating : - Works exceptionally well for the price and convenience!
I just got this a few days ago and have used it for two different tasks. Th e first run was with walnuts and I wanted to create something akin to flour to flavor muffins and it worked so well. When I ran my hands through it all the walnut oil was still present and the muffins can out delicious.

Last night I tried grinding sausage for the first time ever and it was easy and simple. I first ran it through on the large setting, then let it (the machine and the pork) rest and then ran it through on the smaller size (all on setting 4 on the machine), spiced it up and let the mixture sit overnight in the fridge. This morning I cooked it up and it tasted SO much better than any store bought could ever. I still have about 6 pound left over to do with that I want from the initial grinding.

I read the reviews about the plunger here so I just used my finger it push it in and all was well. I'll probably get a dowel to use as a plunger at some point.

Excellent product for the price!
