Customer Reviews of Maverick MM6386 Meat Grinder
Customer Rating:   Summary: Not satisfactory Comment: The item that I purchased was so poorly packaged that it arrived with several pieces missing. I requested a refund, but have not heard back from the seller for several days. The item is unusable, and now I have a lengthy process to try to recoup my losses. I will never buy an item this way again. Customer Rating: Summary: It has worked well for me Comment: This is the first grinder I have ever bought. I wanted it to grind up chicken backs so I could make my own dog food. I feed BARF. It works well for that. Just don't over load it & listen to the motor, so it doesn't get over worked. I use the larger diameter holes, which makes grinding easier and it goes faster. You do have to cut up the backs into smaller pieces before putting them in the grinder. I use the sauage maker which comes with it to put the dog food in sauage links. If I make more then 8lb of links with the larger hole grinder at a time I have to remember to clean out the sauage maker, before the 2nd batch or the larger bones will get stuck in the sauage maker. Customer Rating: Summary: A Great Grinder Comment: I bought this grinder many years ago when it was made by Villaware. I make cat food for my numerous cats (I'm a breeder) and it has held up to grinding hundreds of pounds of chicken or rabbit meat with bone. I recommend this grinder to anyone thinking of making their own cat or dog food... Customer Rating: Summary: This is a great grinder! Comment: Before buying the Maverick grinder, I read the other reviews and was scared into buying the 320 watt Villaware grinder that another reviewer recommended. BIG MISTAKE!! Using the Villaware grinder for making raw cat food (ground chicken with organs and bones)was a nightmare because of a design flaw. I couldn't even grind plain old chicken meat without having to disassemble the unit literally every 30 seconds to clear out stringy clogs. The reverse switch feature was of no use whatsoever. After several frustrating attempts to use the Villaware grinder, I took the advice of several people and bought the Maverick. What a joy to work with! Grinding chicken bones is no problem and it takes me a quarter of the time to make 2 lbs of cat food than it did when using that lousy Villaware, and I get a far superior end product. The take away message from my experience: it will take me a lot of effort, time and money to find out if I got a lemon or if the Villaware has a true design flaw. Wattage isn't everything. Learn from my costly mistake and GET THIS GRINDER. Customer Rating: Summary: what a disappointment! Comment: After numerous online newsgroup exchanges with others who've bought this appliance, I thought I was getting an efficient and effective tool to cut down on daily food preparation time for my dog while providing wholesome, balanced raw meals, which could be frozen. The first 2 times I used the Maverick, it operated well, though I was surprised that food had to be cut so thin to avoid getting stuck in the opening. Today when using it *for only the 3rd time* vegetable juice is collecting in the food tray, running out of the machine and splashing all over my kitchen and clothing, when I try to press food through the opening. What a mess! I'm only grateful I decided to grind veggies first this time instead of meat! Food isn't moving through as it should, just sitting at the entrance to the grinding mechanism going nowhere, just creating more juice and more mess. Buyer beware---keep the box it comes in, as I didn't and don't know that I'll be able to get my money back. Not even interested in a replacement---you should see my kitchen! And there's still a counter filled with veggies, fruit and meat that still have to somehow be processed.... More Reviews Maverick MM-6386 Mince Master Deluxe Food Grinder - 220 Watts Features:
Choosing Appliance -> Plastic wrap An absolute must with a million and a half uses. But do not buy just any plastic wrap. Go to a restaurant supply store and buy a large roll of restaurant plastic wrap. It sticks much better than the common grocery store plastic wrap and is much cheaper per foot. Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens The standard 60cm oven has been joined by various other sizes. Now consumers can choose from 60,70 and 90cm wide built-in single ovens. Always check the internal capacity shown in litres as well as the external dimensions. Maverick MM6386 Meat Grinder
