Ratings & Reviews for KitchenAid White Plastic Stand Mixer Food grinder attachment

Works great until it doesn't!

Works great until it doesn't. The base of mine quickly developed a crack (where it attached to the mixer) and that's slowly gotten bigger to the point that meat juices squirt out of it upon use. Also, probably unrelated, but worth noting because I notice it when I use the grinder, there's oil leaking from the back of my mixer. It's pretty gross to get on your hands. And, honestly, if you don't mind it's oil, it can easily be mistaken for something edible. I really wish both these issues didn't g...

If only for the cacks.

My wife bought this for me on Christmas years ago. Love it but for one problem. Plastic housing cracks. And it did not take long for the cracks to appear. I have eight cracks at the back of the housing where it attaches to the mixer. One serious the rest not as bad. I have an automotive stainless steel hose clamp on the housing to keep them from spreading. It needs to be made out of steel. I would give it a 5 but for the cracks. Works fine. As far as lubrication I put vegetable oil on the shaft ...

Grind away!

I’ve had this grinder for about 6 months or so and I appreciate the fact that I can pretty much turn any cut of meat in the fridge into ground meat. I’ve made picadillo, meatballs and patties so far. Most times it’s been able to handle whatever is thrown into the grinder. I give this a four-star review because it has jammed a couple of times and the grinder came loose once. It couldn’t process the sinew as well on those occasions so I have been more mindful of trimming the meat down a bit to avo...

Really?!

I received the grinder attachment as a birthday present last year (2022) & have used it a total of 3 times. On the third time, the metal pin inside the rotator broke apart from the tip. The rotator won't turn, nor will the blade spin. Very disappointing as I enjoy creating my own ground meats. Fortunately, I had a manual meat grinder handy to complete the meal.

ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR MY KITCHEN!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't used this as a grinder attachment per se, but it's a piece that I need to use in order to use the strainer attachment which I used extensively to make tomato sauce and puree fruits. An indispensable tool in my kitchen,.

Plastic Housing Cracks

I've had this for a number of years, but used it very lightly. Noticed today the plastic housing now has a crack about 3" running down the main unit. The crack grew 1" just using it today on soft meat cut into 1" cubes. This should not happen. Since it's past 1 year old, warranty is expired. Looks like I'll have to throw this in the garbage. I don't recommend buying if you want something to last long.

Grinder & juicer attachments

Awesome addition to my KitchenAid Mixer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago to use for canning and it works great. Extremely happy with it. I also purchased the peeler and slicer. Definitely recommend both.

Not as sturdy as previous model

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new style grinder just has a metal pin in the case holding the grinder disk rather than the previous model which the disk had two ears locked in by the nut. It may be strong enough, but it is thinner and lighter construction. Not sure about it’s longevity.

Poor Quality

The screw broke after using the grinder two times. The blade is not spinning. Therefore the meat is not being ground. I am disappointed with Kitchen Aid.

Could be worse

So I've had this attachment for a while, and it's time for a review. So let's say either the blades aren't sharp enough or the mixer is not powerful enough; either way, this grinder needs to be used for soft meats and a few veggies. But tougher cuts of meat will not push through this attachment. Also, what's with the discoloring? Disgusting, to say the least. I will update you with pictures next time.

Not good

This was the original grinder I bought, the plastic broke. I was afraid of not being able to clean it properly si I threw it away and bought the metal one. Now I am wondering if the metal one contains lead?

Food. Grinder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replacement for grinder that came with mixer but which did not fit. This was very disappointing.

The quality is great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I hadn't waited so long to get this attachment

Great Grinder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the one that I had but do to a house fire all plastic items had to be thrown out. Received my new grinder and was able to grind the remaining turkey up and make a turkey sandwich spread with sweet pickles, onions, mayonnaise, favorite spices. Delicious.

Great improvement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new food grinder has many improvements than the previous type.
