I purchased this specially for stuffing kielbasa but after last night I was very disappointed.   It took such a long time to keep pushing the already butcher grinded meat that after 2 hrs, I had switched to a hand grinder which was so much easier.   seems like pushing the meat down there is so much suction that the meat hardly comes out.     Very poorly constructed and I hate to say I'll go back to the hand grinder that was my grandmothers.
