Icefever Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I have one of these, had it now for a couple of years. It's a generic made one, somewhere in the far east. You see them for sale with loads of Brand names on, they are crap IMHO. It may be ok for grinding nuts, bread or something along these lines, but cold pork & fat no way.....I gave up on it yesterday halfway through a session making sausages. I was just about to vac-pack what I had got to mince with what was left and vac & freeze for another day when my little lady suggested trying the Magimix blender. I stifled a chuckle, thought better of it and said "ok let's give her a go" I was amazed it worked a whole lot better than the crap grinder. I managed to get it all finished, dropped a small pattie in the frying pan to try for taste, brilliant, the sausages are now in the fridge, will be vac & freezed later. If anyone want to buy the crap grinder offers to me....🤣😎....I'm off to find a LEM if possible 🤞 . Ice. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind I'm in no mad rush, who knows old Santa may send me one?? Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) You guys may know this, that reviews are not what they seem? heaven forbid. I want to replace my crappy one so have been doing a quest to find one that fits my piggy bank, but will still do a great job. I've given up on buying a LEM, trying to find one in the UK is nigh on impossible. You can buy in the USA, that's if you want to add up to £50 P&P then another £75/£80 import tax, not forgetting that they run on 110v.. Back to the reviews, I've shortlisted this grinder..https://www.amazon.co.uk/MosaicAL-Electric-Stainless-Commercial-Industrial/dp/B07DN71R32/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 so I decided to take a sceptical look at the reviews on this model. Most gave 5 stars, with a couple of 3's, followed by a 1. Reading most if not all of them, I got to reading the 1 star I thought bugger that for a game of tiddlywinks. Back to the search, staying with the same make but different model again I start to read the reviews, they are the same?? how can that be? it's a different machine?. By having another Amazon tab alongside each other and flipping too & fro, it turns out that they are the same...but, (there's always a "but") a light at the end of the tunnel I thought !!, and it ain't some twat coming the other way with a torch. 😊 These reviews are all lumped together, the 1-star problem was with the first model that I would have gone for and not this model...read just the ones for this machine and it seems like it may fit the bank?? piggy whare are you?? 😈 ================================================================================================================================= Digging deeper look like it's a used item and tracked the seller and they live in CZ Business Name:shanghaidezhuanxinxijishuyouxiangongsi Business Type:Ltd Trade Register Number:91310230MA1JYDGB9L VAT Number:GB291156305 Business Address: chongmingqusanxingzhenhonghaigonglu 4588hao4haolou321-3shi Jenec Jenec 25261 CZ Ice. 🤬 Edited December 6, 2019 by Icefever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotv Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Have you looked at any of the catering suppliers?, usually have to add VAT, but maybe something different available than what Amazon sell, for your price range and needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icefever Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Well, it arrived yesterday late afternoon, didn't do much then, so had a good read today and look around this beasty. I'm in love, it's all shiny takes me back to my brew days when any new kit arrived. Ice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Does the toaster attachment on the end come as standard and if so do you get a choice of colours? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
