This giant grinder from LEM Products is a workhorse in every sense of the word. At size 22, this grinder can handle the largest pieces of meat with ease. The innovative Big Bite technology sets this model apart from other size 22 grinders.
It allows the auger to take a bigger bite out of the meat and then send more meat through the grinder, allowing for extremely wide cuts without fear of clogging.
Its high workload does have some drawbacks, as this grinder weighs 65 pounds, and its dimensions are 12″ W x 22.5″ L x 19″ H.
This grinder will be a mainstay on your countertop, as its gargantuan size and considerable weight make it inconvenient to move and store. However, its design is very ergonomic.
It features a stainless steel design that, combined with simple product assembly and proper safety features, makes this model incredibly user-friendly.
In terms of productivity, customers rave about the efficiency and quality of the machine. The official description of the machine lists a production rate of 13 pounds per minute, but some customers have reported it to be closer to 4 pounds.
Regardless, it goes without saying that this product can handle just about any meat grinding project, and can do so with relative ease and speed.
The Bottom Line
This grinder is a great option, perhaps even the best, for cooks looking to grind large amounts of meat, as well as for those who know they’ll have a lot of work with it.
However, for those new to meat grinding, or for those who will only use their grinder sparingly, its high cost, inconvenient size, and numerous delivery issues make this powerful product one to avoid.
