I was so excited and happy to get this attachment for my kitchenaid mixer I've always wanted it, this weekend we had a big family get together for the holiday and we needed to make a bunch of burgers so I went to our local butcher and purchased the meat and was able to grind it myself and to my liking and let me tell you it worked fabulously and I absolutely love it and will be making my own ground beef and literally anything else I can ground myself, i love how simple and easy it is to use and that I can add what ever I want to my own meat while grinding it and I know 100% what goes into it. The attachment is not overly loud like I though which is a big plus and it is very easy to use and clean.
