Personally, I have the vertical Lem 5 lb. SS version w/metal gears.
 
30 lb cabelas vertical stuffer with motor and northern tool vertical stuffer with plaskit gears
 
seen them used on tv.... Just a horizontal stuffer instead of a vertical......

i have a dakota sausage stuffer and i love it. works on water pressure no gears. quite, one man operation and easy to clean. and way cheaper than the big boy stuffers. works for me. holds 9lbs. it would be nice to get a 30 pounder but it works
 
Anyone of them would be nice!

A few things to consider; the volume you are going to be stuffing, the amount of working space that you have available and cost of the stuffer, for some of us. The one from Weston (very similar to Cabalas) has some painted parts, but the cylinder, plunger, shaft, nut and tubes are all stainless. The ones from LEM are all stainless, but the gear is plastic on some of them and has a tendency to crack if you put it under a strain. I heard that there is a replacement gear that some people have been able to purchase. Maybe it’s just me, but when I bought mine I look at the mechanicals parts. I wanted to ensure that they would hold up with an investment of several hundred dollars, but when it was all over with, I went with cost savings. Cabalas had an 11lb Weston on sale at Christmas time last year for 129.00 with free shipping.

  I have been very pleased so far, all of the parts are stainless and are very easy to remove and clean. Now as far as replacement parts, I doubt that there are any available, so I guess it is one of those things you get what you pay for, but it makes very quick work of 11lbs of meat!!!!  Something else to consider is whether or not you are doing this by yourself or with some help.  Any manual stuffer are going to be little cumbersome when working by yourself, one hand on the crank and the other on the casing is a little tough at times; I’m not saying it can’t be done. It’s just something to think about. SB
 
I have the Northern 5 pounder with plastic gears.

Made lots of sausage with it.

No troubles with the gears.

I lube the mechanism before and after each use with LEM food grad silicone.

When the plunger hits bottom I don't try to press the last of the meat out with too much pressure.

I dont expect the gears to fail.
