Rating: 8

Time with product:

Strengths: Easy to use. Grinds very well, as advertised.

Weaknesses:

Summary: Assembly is easy and cleanup is easy. Mixer speed needs to be set to the slower end speeds and you must be careful not to put through extremely hard items. I have tried different cheeses and meats and the grinder does a great job on all the foods I stuffed in it. I haven't had any problems yet, like machine oil or cracking. Maybe I was lucky and got a Tuesday run off the assembly line.

Time with product: 1 Weeks

Strengths: Easily grinds meats and cheeses, very easy to attach and use, easy to clean (we use a baby bottle cleaner which works perfectly)

Weaknesses: As mentioned in an earlier review we are also having problems with machine oil mixing in with our food

Summary: I would recommend this product to others because it is well-made and gives you more options to prepare food. We have put it to work grinding chicken, cheese, and bread without any problems (other than the machine oil). It is very easy to use and to take apart to clean.

Strengths: 1. easy to assembly/use2. does the work and good for sausage3. dishwasher-safe

Weaknesses: too bad it is not all stainless steel. Quality can not match the KitchenAid pasta set we bought before.

Summary: It does the work. Perfect if you have a powerful KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Very easy to assembly and to use. Dishwasher safe. Thought the quality is good enough for a long time usage, but it still can not match the KitchenAid pasta set we bought before.

Time with product: 2 Days

Strengths: easy to use, well made (even though it is made of plastic), good results

Weaknesses: confusing packaging - the sausage maker attachment is actually an additional cost option

Summary: The attachment inscreases the utility of the Kitchenaid mixer. If you ever plan to use the sausage maker, be sure to order the attachment. The little product images on some web sites are misleading - we thought that we were getting the sausage maker attachment with the FGA.

Time with product: 2 Weeks

Strengths: easy to clean, grinds in both course and fine mode

Weaknesses:

Summary: Did a great job on Thanksgiving leftovers with none of the gymnastics required of manual grinders. Easily connects to the KitchenAid base unit, and I found it easy to clean up once the work was done. Highly recommended!
