Great food grinder and so much more!
I did my research before I purchased a replacement food grinder. I needed something that would have enough power to grind through chicken bones if needed. My first grinder was a cheap Cabela's brand that lasted a whole two grinding sessions before it died. The gears comprised of plastic parts, you get what you pay for...I make my own raw dog food and I also like to grind up my own game meat, not to mention that if the desire struck, I at times, would like to make our own sausage from an old family recipe. Well, this machine did all that for us without skipping a beat. Not only can I grind my own raw food for my dogs and include the chicken bones, which they need as bone meal, but I can also make homemade sausage links without worry that it's too much for the machine to handle.I put it to the test at the first of the year by grinding up deer meat into ground meat, making homemade sausage for patties along with pork and beef mixed with the deer to make our own family recipe sausage links as well as making 65lbs of raw dog food all in one sitting. We ground up approximately 120lbs + of raw meat without a single issue.It did get a little warm with the sausage stuffing, but nothing to be worried about. I let it cool for about 30 mins before I proceeded on with the raw dog food and bone grinding. This machine can handle it and we were quite impressed at not only the volume, but also the fact that the machine didn't constantly jam like the old one.I will note that we also purchased the foot pedal and it made it sooooo much easier.

Reviewed in Canada on March 20, 2022
My dog was sick after eating the raw food that I bought from a rawfood store. I decided to make rawfood for my dog by myself so that I can make sure I know what my dog ate. I bought the big bite #12 0.75HP. This machine is good enough for the job. It can grind chicken legs with bones. When I grind chicken leg, I use the plate with the large hole first, then the middle one and then the small one. Very happy with machine so far. If you need a grinder for making raw food for your lovely dog, choose #12 0.75hp or more powerful model.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Powerful, Quiet, Easy to Use Grinder, Especially Recommended for Big Jobs
Reviewed in Canada on November 14, 2022
I almost bought a size 12 meat grinder from another manufacturer for half the price. A closer look revealed that particular grinder required a wrench and the removal of several bolts to separate the grinding head for cleaning. The hassle, and probability of damaging the threads led me back to LEM. LEM's five year warranty sealed the deal.

LEM's meat mixer seemed to be overpriced. I sourced one that this grinder can drive made by Valley Sportsman through Princess Auto for substantially less.

I need a finer grinding plate for liver pate. I spent over six hours scouring Amazon for other sizes of stainless steel grinding plates without success. Finally, I sourced 3mm, 6mm, and 16mm (1/8" 1/4" 5/8") plates from Smokehouse Chef.

A foot switch is a very useful accessory for your meat grinder. I like them to control the motor while grinding meat or stuffing sausages. It keeps my greasy hands off of the motor unit. I chose the WEN WA0392 (ASIN B08BZX4XGY)from Amazon.

Consider buying a float glass lapping plate from Jende (ASIN B08SQDR9K4) to maintain your grinder plates and knives in optimal condition. Instructions can be found with a Youtube search for "How to Easily Sharpen ANY grinder plate and knife." I go one step further, and end with 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper.

You'll also need brushes to clean this meat grinder, and a food safe lubricant. I recommend a "Long Handle Water Bottle Cleaning Brush" (ASIN B09GFGV461) for the grinding head, and "Nylon Bottle Cleaning Brush Set" (ASIN B07F8RX2FR) for the grinding plates and stuffing tubes. I use Super Lube (ASIN B000UKUHXK)for the bushing in the grinding head.

This meat grinder is a great start, but you'll need to buy additional items to maintain, and get the most out of your purchase. The ones mentioned are what I chose. There are several more accessories available. Check LEM's website, then check back here on Amazon where most are available.
