Best Meat Grinders of 2025

“I just had to run and get this amazing grinder! It’s super easy to clean and assemble, making my homemaking tasks so much nicer. It works beautifully with both frozen and thawed meat, producing an excellent grind. Sure, it’s a bit noisy, but it’s doing all the work efficiently and doesn’t overheat, which is wonderful for larger quantities.”

“I used this grinder once and was impressed. It was a tad noisy, but honestly, I doubt there are quieter options in this price range. Overall, it didn’t lag and ground the meat quickly and well. I just hope it holds up over time.”

“I bought this grinder specifically for my cats' raw meat, and it works just as well as the more expensive models. It gets the job done efficiently and is a breeze to assemble and clean. I doubt it could handle bones, but it’s perfect for meat.”

"I usually don’t leave the first review, but I’m excited to share my experiences with this STX grinder after a month. My husband and I were searching for a full kit for meat grinding and sausage stuffing, and we found this #12 grinder to be perfect. It came with five grinding plates, a beaner plate, and stuffing tubes, plus a foot pedal for convenience. The price is unbeatable, and it looks great on my counter!"

"When we first used the grinder, I was a bit disappointed because it was loud at the start, but I later read the note saying it would quiet down after some use. After about 15 hours, it was much quieter and now I can easily talk while using it. The instructions were clear, but I had to learn the hard way to install the cutting blade correctly!"

"I initially had concerns due to limited experience with meat grinders, especially since my previous one was a small Oster. After using the Big Bite for grinding 20 lbs of pork and 8 lbs of turkey, I was impressed. It's heavier than expected but feels well constructed. The assembly was straightforward, and I loved the integrated accessory drawer. Surprisingly, it's quieter than my old grinder. It made quick work of the pork, and I could keep up with it easily. I am very satisfied with my purchase and feel it was a good investment."

"I mainly bought this grinder to simplify the preparation of my dogs' raw meals. It has significantly cut down my prep time. Now, I can grind 18-24 lbs of meat and organs in about an hour, including weighing and portioning. The grinder just pulls the meat through without needing to push it. Cleanup is a breeze, and I've noticed a marked difference in the taste of the fresh ground meat. This purchase has been incredibly worthwhile for me."

"Having used cheaper grinders before, I didn’t think it was worth it to grind my own meat. But I can confidently say that this LEM grinder is worth every penny. It’s so easy to use and grinds meat quickly. I’ve made sausage and the quality is far superior to anything from the store. Knowing exactly what goes into my meat gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend this product!"

"I absolutely love this meat grinder. It works great! It's very fast and powerful, saving me so much time in making my dogs' food fresh each week. I wish I had gotten it years ago!"

"When I received it, I was impressed with how well packaged everything was. After washing all the parts, I tested it with a large beef roast. It handled the meat like a pro, producing beautiful burger that tasted amazing! I've used a hand grinder before, and this is a huge upgrade."

"We opted for the Mighty Bite Grinder to make our own cat food. It has exceeded our expectations! The metal parts feel robust, and the meat disappears into the inlet quickly. Cleanup is also easy, making it a joy to use. We're considering using it for making our own ground beef and sausages as well!"

“I found it incredibly easy to operate and clean! I even made Swedish sausage from scratch, handling both the grinding and stuffing on my own. The machine was simple to assemble and felt quite sturdy.”

“When I first unboxed it, I was a bit worried because of its lightweight design. However, this grinder surprised me with its strength and speed. I processed 20 lbs of meat in just about 15 minutes, and cleanup was a breeze. The performance is unbeatable for the price.”

“I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband, and he absolutely loves it! He already ground a brisket with it.”

"This 1.5 hp grinder is a beast! After using it twice, I find it easy to clean. Though I have to unbolt three screws, they come off without much hassle. I managed to grind 50 pounds of meat in just 10 minutes, and it didn't even get warm. The cleaning took another 10 minutes, and I just oiled it with vegetable spray before storing it away. It's pretty heavy, weighing about 36 lbs."

"I was thrilled with how quickly this grinder worked! I expected to spend hours grinding meat, but I was done in under an hour. I did give it a 4-star rating instead of 5 because when I turned it on for the second use, I heard a loud noise and found that the cutting blade was broken. I'm hoping this is just a fluke and not a sign of more significant issues. The grinder is easy to assemble and seems well-made."

"I bought this right before a big hunting trip and was excited to use it. Unfortunately, the first one was defective right out of the box, tripping the breaker. Happibuy promptly handled my request for a replacement, which I appreciated. However, the replacement had scratches and rust. Despite these cosmetic issues, it processed the meat well, grinding at about 7 lbs per minute. I’m just waiting to hear back from Happibuy about the issues I faced."

“I got this grinder for hunting white tail deer and to grind my own beef. After grinding about 36 pounds of venison, I found a couple of minor issues. The sausage stuffer attachments didn’t fit in the onboard storage, and it was a bit loud. But I really like the two-speed grinding feature—the high speed was great for the initial grind, and the low speed handled the second pass perfectly. I only had one instance where it bogged down, but the reverse button fixed that quickly. Overall, I’d highly recommend this grinder for home use!”

“I’ve used this grinder on various meats like pork, deer, beef, and chicken. It grinds as fast as you can feed it, and I’ve had no issues so far. I think it’s a great tool for anyone who enjoys making their own ground meat.”

“Today I used this grinder for the first time to grind pork belly for dumplings. Although the machine worked well and was quick, I found a few tiny pieces of metal mixed in with the minced meat. I had carefully followed the instructions and cleaned everything before use. I’m a bit concerned about the quality of the accessories since they seem a bit light. I’ll give it another try and see if the metal pieces reappear.”

"I bought the Cheffano meat grinder for home use, and I am very satisfied with it. It's easy to assemble and clean, and it grinds meat efficiently."

"As someone who grinds meat a couple of times a month, I found this grinder flawless. I ground 10 lbs of meat without any issues, and it was easy to clean and assemble. Highly recommended!"

"I've been using this grinder weekly for my dogs' food prep, and it works great with different types of meat. The suction cup feet keep it stable, and despite a bit of noise, I find it easy to use and very effective."

"I watched a few videos before assembling it, and I found it worked very well. The grinder did an excellent job on shoulder steak, and even my cat enjoyed the meat! It’s easy to clean and perfect for pet owners who prefer real food for their pets. I'm looking forward to making my own ground beef."

"I gave this grinder to my boyfriend for Christmas since he enjoys hunting. He told me it was well-made and works great! I’m really happy with the purchase, especially considering it was under $100."

"I finally tried using this manual meat grinder and I must say, the quality is very good. It grinded meat remarkably well, especially when the meat is about 85-90% defrosted. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to grind their own meat!"

"My husband deer hunts, and we previously owned a different grinder. This one grinds meat in a fraction of the time compared to our old model. We used to stop and clean frequently and had to run the meat through twice. With this new grinder, we only need to run it through once! We absolutely love it! Worth every penny!"

"I was really impressed with how fast this machine is! It processes meat rapidly and is easy to clean. We even got a brush to help with the cleaning and a small straw/bottle brush for the holes. Although it's heavy, taking it apart is a breeze. It took next to no time to process our pig!"

"This grinder is a beast! It makes grinding meat a straightforward and efficient task. The fact that I don’t have to double grind is a huge plus, and I appreciate the speed at which it devours chunks of meat. It might be a bit pricey, but for its durability and efficiency, it's definitely worth it in my opinion."
