Universal Star - Meat Chopper

The item we got had a cracked unit that holds all the parts in the grinder. therefore, we could not use the item and sent it back. This should have been caught by the quality control before being mailed. I would not recommend this item for anyone.

I chose this rating for the overall satisfaction I have experienced with it. It's easy to use and clean up is a breeze. I would highly recommend it for any one interested in such an appliance.

This was a waste of time, effort, and money (although a full refund was received). Poor quality material, poor workmanship, and worse than simply cheap. The blade did not cut, the handle fit poorly, the spindle inside was not lathed to fit the grinder itself (too small) and it merely turned without really mashing / moving whatever was put inside it and there was no extrusion. Speaks poorly of quality control from Chinese manufacturers / suppliers.

Great grinder. Have been looking for one like it.

I bought mine for $4. The box says it grinds 2.5 pounds a minute. Tried it on raw chicken, including bone (raw food diet for cats). If chunks are under about one inch square, it grinds them just fine. Hopper is small, less than a cup capacity.

I do not know what the new ones are made of, but I've had one for over 40 years, and it is fantastic. MUCH better than the electric equivalent and easier by far to clean.
