Barton 1100W Electric Commercial #12 Meat Grinder w/Cutting Blade Stainless Steel Mincer Sausage Maker #12 Grinder Size

This is my 5th meat grinder. I tried manual machines and not easy to use. tried electrical machines from the Kitchen-aid which attaches to the mixer to the stand alone grinders. They work, but they are slow and They tend to jam. I built a grinding station with a #32 manual meat grinder and a 1/2 HP motor to drive the wheel on the grinder. Now that was very good and fast and it served me great. With this said, it was very heavy, not easy to clean, parts came with the grinder will rust, had to be dried and coated with oil. I replaced the parts I could with stainless steel parts plus had to do some modifications to make things fit well. At the end I spent more than $350 for a complicated Machine to use and store. This Barton machine does the work very efficiently. Easy to clean. easy to store. Quiet. All stainless steel. No tools needed to take it apart. Very powerful. No jamming. It is awesome. I would buy it again but I don't think I would need to. I highly recommend it to all my friends and family. Excellent machine!

got this grinder to process up my yearly game kills. this year I got 2 deer and a huge hog, I double ground both deer and the hog and not a slip or skip or bind. I am impressed with this beauty. its heavy duty and looks, feels like butchers shop quality. cleans up nice and chewed up everything I threw at it. After all the meat I ran thru it the motor was just warm so it could have worked harder. it came in a heavy duty box and was well packed. I did by a foot pedal switch to go with it as I dont think its good to just run them when you reload the tray. I would recommend this to the person looking for a great heavy grinder but not wanting to spend the 500-700 on the others brands. I love it and would buy it again. I got the optional 3 year warranty and if there are issues well I think this year alone it was worth every penny I saved the price and more doing it myself. you won't be disappointed.

Best grinder ever! Goes thru chicken bones with ease. Not much noise. Super easy to clean. Heavy powerful motor. I researched many grinders and Im so glad I chose this one. The packaging is remarkable. Delivery time is fast. I totally recommend.

This Barton 1100W Electric Commercial #12 Meat Grinder is a beast! It’s heavy-duty, loud, and powerful, but it gets the job done. Whether you’re cutting through meat with bone or just grinding up food for your dogs, this grinder can handle it. It’s also surprisingly easy to clean. We plan to use it once a month to prepare fresh meals for our dogs, and it’s already proving to be a game-changer. If you’re cooking with your boys, making raw dog food, or just need a strong grinder, this one’s highly recommended. However, the machine does get hot and produces a lot of heat. To clean it you need an Allen wrench, also known as a hex key to clean the back and of the connection to the grinder and the grinder engine, which is not provided But you can get at your local tool store.

Like one of the other reviews said, this thing is a pain to take apart and clean. Having to take off six bolts is a pain. Especially for the first time. My small socket set did not fit around the bolt because of the placement on the machine. There was one other problem I found after taking it apart to clean it for the first time. The machining inside the tube was rough and had metal peeling attached inside the tube. When I got it all cleaned up and ready to go, it cut through the rabbit meat with bones like butter. I hand tightened the bolts so they would come off easier after use. The bones were reduced to a fine grit after running it through twice. Once would have been enough but I wanted to see what the machine would do. When buying it I could not find too much information on the size, weight, etc. The machine with heavy duty packaging is marked on the box 48.5 lbs and it is every bit of that. The cutters are marked #22. Everything is nice and shiny what appears to be stainless steel. I hand washed and dried everything after use. I am very happy with my purchase. The vendor had a delivery date between April 19th and 24th. It was at my doorstep on the 19th. That night I was making dog food. Can't wait until hunting season.

This is a great grinder at an uneatable price! It's truly 1 HP and pumps through meat at lightening speed. It's big, heavy and powerful. And that's exactly what a real meat grinder should be. I processed an elk this past fall and it handled it with ease. I grew up on a family farm with a three HP butchers meat grinder (a real cherry of a machine) and have processed hundreds of animals. This grinder is very much reminiscent of the one I grew up using. It's far superior to those grinders I've come across friends using over the years. Unless there is some fatal flaw with the motor, which I can't imagine there would be, I expect this grinder to last a lifetime. The only thing that could be improved is that the bolts that attach the auger tube to the body of the grinder don't thread great.I actually cross threaded one of the six bolts. The other problem is that they are difficult to take out due to them being bold. however they should be easily replaced with screws from a local hardware store. And even if I cross thread all of the screws (very unlikely) and had to take it to a machine shop to have it fixed it would still be a steal at the price on here. The bottom line is that a meat grinder comparable to this will cost you $400 to $1000 elsewhere.

This meat grinder is a beast, way better and faster than I was expecting. Love it. First use I ground 3 Boston butt's in less than 10 minutes

Buyer beware is the best way to start this review on the Tangkula offering of this "Made in China" product. I can't mention a brand name as it does not have one. It does have a nice little plate that identifies itself as a Model EP21595 as well as 110 volts and "Made in China" Any further markings do not exist. We started this purchase in hopes to find a replacement for our aging meat grinder that gave us faithful service for so many years and many hundreds of pounds of sausage and hamburger meat. Being we are fortunate to harvest several hogs and deer every season that we process ourselves. Upon receiving the item we unpacked the grinder finding the motor to being heavy which was a good sign for an advertised "commercial" meat grinder. Then unpacking the tray that you fill with meat to feed the grinder was equivalent to a soda can being flimsy flexing and easily bent. So we decided it would not be suitable for large amounts of meat to be added to this tray but as long as it works it could be ignored. Next step was to disassemble the grinder spout from the machine to clean before it's first use as normal procedure for a food processing item. This is where you find to do so requires removal of 6 bolts that attach the grinding spout to the grinder. These have just enough clearance to use an open in wrench to slowly remove them as a socket can't be used. This is where you find the screws threads are not properly cut causing difficulty to remove due to binding from interference in the threads. I am fortunate as tools of my trade include a tap and die set which I used to clean up the threads on the bolts and holes they thread into enough to keep from binding. So we now realize that every time this grinder is used it will require these 6 bolts to come out for cleaning. We accepted that even though all other grinders we have ever used or looked at have an easy to remove threaded knob bolt to aid in quick disassembly. Obviously long term or frequent use was ever considered for this "commercial" appliance. Now it is time to grind some meat and it performed flawlessly and had good power to quickly go through about 40lbs of muscle tissues from a hog. My wife throws out all connective tissue and bone and all uses extremely clean and processed muscle tissue. This went smoothly other than having to slowly disassemble those 6 bolts again to properly clean and put away. We did find nice black marks everywhere the grinder sits though as the rubber for the feet are in constant deteriation. Those marks do clean up easily though but is something to be aware of. A few weeks go by and we now have a couple large hogs and deer to do so bring out the grinder hoping to make short work of the pile of nice clean meat we have to process. This is where the grinder quits working into the first pound. Seems the worm auger has a screw in tip that drives the cutting blade which decided it couldn't hold together to turn the blade to cut clean muscle tissue with absolutely minimal load. Okay time to contact the manufacturer to see if we can get a replacement part. Now it gets good because replies come in the middle of the night in broken English. Cutting through it all we find that replacement parts are not available for this machine. So we now have a very heavy boat anchor that was bought to grind meat. I have contacted various parts suppliers to find no joy in a replacement part since this is a meat grinder with no name other than China. I also contacted a machine shop to see if they could help and found another unfortunate should that made the mistake and bought one of these. He too has a new boat anchor instead of a useful tool. We went to Cabala's and bought a meat grinder that carries a lifetime warranty, has many more features as well as being well made. We also have parts and accessories available for the new grinder that has already processed several hundred pounds of meat and likely will for years to come. Also be aware that this grinder is sold on Ebay and many other outlets with the seller using other names. Beware of this grinder as it is just another Chinese copy of a real product. They all give a broken English response that parts aren't available seperate.
