With a 1.0 HP motor that can grind up to 13 pounds of meat per minute, this efficient grinder delivers a premium grind in half the time.

              This grinder is great for chicken bones only. I use it to grind up meat and chicken bones for my dogs.

                The "Home Depot associate pro" should maybe read the company's website, brochure or anything else! The manufacturer recommends this for BONES and it's warrantied for BONES!!

                  Yes, we grinded a whole chicken and it worked well. It did leave some bones in chunks which we were ok with cause it’s good for our dogs teeth.

                      This is one heavy duty grinder. I haven't had a chance to use it yet. It's replacing a LEM #8 grinder that still works fine after 16 years. Decided to go with a model that grinds more meat faster. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

                      I use it for dog food. It grinds up the meat and bones. It doesn’t do as well on frozen vegetables. If I am not careful it will stop grinding. I believe it literally freezes up the grinder. Also, the drawer does not stay closed. Apparently there is a manufacturer issue. I’m waiting on the replacement components to fix it. Customer service at LEM are very helpful. Home Depot customer service reps are really helpful. I love doing business with HD.

                      Purchased this to make dog food. So far having this machine has saved so much time in prep. Also peace of mind that the (small) bones that we grind are easier for my small dogs to digest.
