When choosing an electric meat grinder, you need to focus on the frequency of use. It depends on what the device of which performance suits you best. Low-cost electric meat grinders perform worse with grinding veiny meat. But this option is quite suitable for rare use. There are models that are designed not only for processing meat, but also for slicing vegetables and fruits, chopping products and even making juice.
There are also professional devices designed for large volumes. They can be used even in restaurants and catering. At home, this is not very advisable. I have prepared the TOP of the best models from different categories, which will help you get acquainted with the leaders of the rating and make the best choice.

The device of an electric meat grinder
The main difference from a conventional meat grinder in the presence of an electric motor, it rotates the shaft through the gearbox and processes the product. A gear with a screw is attached to the shaft, then knives, the design ends with a grill. A clamping nut is used for fastening.

What to look for when choosing?
There is a wide variety of designs and combinations of materials and characteristics. To choose the model that suits the requirements and fits into the existing budget, it is useful to navigate the list of features and characteristics offered by manufacturers.
Screw material
The screw material is much more important than the case, according to experts, since it is this part that carries the main load and is in contact with the processed product. It is fed to the knives by a screw. The most reliable appliances are equipped with a metal screw. Often, another plastic auger is included in the kit; it is enough to process fruits and vegetables.
The best material for knives is stainless steel, it does not dull as quickly as other alloys, it requires sharpening no more than 1-2 times a year.
Body material
The two main materials used are plastic and metal. Each of them has pros and cons. Plastic has a small mass, does not create problems in care, can be painted in any color. But more fragile than metal, it is prone to scratches and cracks under heavy load.
The metal has a modern appearance, it is stronger and more reliable, but it adds weight to the equipment, which causes inconvenience when carrying it around the house. It is worth abandoning the purchase of a model with polished shiny surfaces, all the smudges and fingerprints remain on them. Matt surfaces in this regard are much more practical.
Tray and Pusher Material
The tray is offered in plastic or metal; this is not the most important indicator. Plastic has two drawbacks - it can be painted in the color of the processed product and crack from impact. The pusher is attached only plastic.
Another important detail is the gear. Plastic does not provide the desired level of reliability, often breaks down, inexpensive modifications are most often equipped with such a part. Metal gears not only more durable, but also transmit the force from the motor to the shaft much better.
Power
The processing quality depends on the power level:
- 200-500 W - you will have to remove the films and cores from the meat, finely cut it.
- 500-800 W - processes fatty meat with cartilage, cut into medium-sized pieces.
- From 800 W - takes large pieces, but consumes more electricity.
All models have two power indicators: peak and nominal. The first indicates the maximum indicator that the device can develop in a critical situation if the rotating parts and the motor are blocked. This applies to processing pieces of meat with veins and cartilage. In this mode, the meat grinder can work only a few seconds, most of the time it works in the nominal mode.
Performance
Shows how much meat is processed in 60 seconds. It could be like this:
- 0.5-1 kg / min - sufficient for domestic use, per minute will make mincemeat for dinner for a family of 2-3 people.
- Up to 3 kg / min - more products are processed, which allows serving a family of more people.
- From 3 kg / min - suitable for industrial use.
Motor overload protection
It means that the meat grinder has a special fuse that protects the motor from overheating and overloads. The most commonly used lock is a fuse sleeve made of plastic, if solid particles get into moving parts or the temperature rises above normal, it bursts.
Other models use an automatic circuit breaker - two metal plates closed in the normal state. If the electric current exceeds the indicators, they open. After disconnecting from the mains, the circuit is replaced and closed again. Another protection option is a special heat element, when the temperature exceeds the limit values, the motor is disconnected from the auger.
Reverse system
Allows you to rotate the auger in the opposite direction.It is convenient if you need to scroll a very sinewy raw material and it is screwed onto the screw. If there is no system for freeing the veins, you need to disassemble the meat grinder and remove the veins manually. Many powerful models are not equipped with a reverse, since the power of their motor allows you to scroll through all the cores.
Maximum uptime
This is the maximum indicator before its expiration is guaranteed the normal functioning of the meat grinder. The motor receives a heavy load, because each manufacturer indicates the maximum time line beyond which the work becomes unsafe. At the end of each cycle, the motor must be given a break of 10-20 minutes. Installed cycles are different for each model.
Rubber feet
If the legs are made of non-slip material or have anti-slip pads, this reduces vibration and sliding on the surface.
Self sharpening knives
It is sharpened independently in the process of friction against the lattice. Such knives are not made of stainless material.
Maximum dish height
This indicator measures the height from the body to the head of the meat grinder, that is, the hole where the stuffing comes from. Based on it, you can calculate what height the dishes can be substituted under it to collect the stuffing. The average figure is 11-14 cm, there are models with a distance of 16 cm.
Number of Perforated Discs
The number of discs included with the meat grinder. Most often 2-3 pcs. All discs have different hole diameters, due to which the output produces a different consistency of minced meat - more coarse or tender.
Noise level
It matters for comfortable use. Some appliances are so noisy that using them in a residential building becomes uncomfortable.
Cord length
The required length depends on the location of the outlets in the kitchen. As a rule, devices are equipped with a small network cable 100 cm long. Some models have a larger indicator - 120-150 cm.
Place to store cord and nozzles
Cases of some models provide a place to store the included nozzles. Some models do not allow you to place all the nozzles inside, but only those that are used most often.
Varieties of the included attachments for meat grinders
- For kebbe - allows you to cook a semi-finished product for meat tubes using different fillers, you can experiment with cooking homemade sausages. Such a nozzle is in the kit of almost every meat grinder.
- For sausage - a narrow neck for attaching a shell to it or what sausage will be stored in. During cooking, hold the casing with one hand and control the flow of the product with the other.
- For shredder - nozzle in the form of a steel drum with narrow slots, is installed in place of the screw.
- Grater nozzle - a round cylinder with small holes, similar to a regular grater, most often there are two nozzles in the kit - with large and small holes.
- Perforated Stuffing Discs - a small circle of stainless steel with a large number of holes in it, the kit may include different diameter holes.
- For slicing cookies - a plastic disk that forms curly cookies from the dough, most often 2-3 holes on one disk, you can only put the finished cookies on a baking sheet.
- Juicer - nozzle for squeezing juice from citrus fruits. There are two types: auger - spinning and squeezing the fruits, citrus press - a rotating cone with ribs, half of the citrus is planted on it.
- Forcemeat mold - forms cutlets from ready-made minced meat, automates the manufacture of blanks of the same size and neat shape.
