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

Doesnt fit. Damaged my stand mixer. Do not ever purchase

Easy to Use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My other half bought this around Christmas time so we could make our own hamburger blend. It works amazing! We ground up about 4 lbs worth in a short amount of time. The unit is Super easy to clean! We kept the box to store it when not in use.

I love the attachments

I love grating my own cheese, and grinding my own meat

Very Unsatisfied

We just used this for the first time to attempt to grind apples and cooked venison. Apple juice backed into the machine and ran out the bottom of the mixer with oil. Grinding cubes of meat it kept clogging and we had to take it apart and clean it 4 times for 2 lbs of meat. Called “Customer Service” and call wait time was 1 hour 45 minutes, no option to ask for return call.

broke on first use

I bought this and it broke on the first time I used it. I am now buying the metal one.

Cheap plastic - DON'T BUY!!

The plastic cap for the grinder broke on my first use. This is the second attachment I bought and the same cap broke on the first one also. I'm going to try a metal unit. Piece of cheap garbage!

Broke on 3rd use

During my third time using it the cap that holds the blade splir.

Plastic Housing Split

The plastic housing on my grinder attachment split down the length of it. This didn't happen during use (only used once) but while in the storage box.

Great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wanted a mixer for years. So glad I finally got one.

Broke, sadly

I got this because it cost less than the metal grinder. But ironically, the metal part broke, not the plastic

Works great!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great with my KitchenAid Professional mixer!!! I make homemade dog food once a week and the food grinder does a great job grinding the meats and vegetables for it!!

Best kitchen attachment if you love to cook

I have had my current meat Grindr for at least 20 years, and we find it so useful I am ordering replacement.

Cheep plastic

Do not ever buy plastic version it will brake after few time using it with meat.

Lasted 6 years using it 3 - 4 times a year.

I had this attachment 6 years using it very few times a year. Always in the box when not in use. Just went to use it and discover the main housing cracked. Not sure what caused it. Maybe caused by placing in the dishwasher?? Believe me, it was not "over used" by any means.

Missing Parts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great project but my grinder was missing the course grinder blade and plater when I opened my box.

Great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No as big and strong as I thought. It would be nice if all the hardware were made of solid metal.

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...
