In the market, wouldn't be getting a ton of use, but seems like a decent deal.
Would you pull the trigger?

I took your info and got this on Amazon:
Look right? Snazzy with the foot switch.
But no idea about the quality of Manufacturer.
That's the one! Snazzy scares me some time! All the bells and whistles aren't always a good thing!

Cant say I like the cast aluminum (not 304 ss), but you get what you pay for:
The 4 parts of this Grinding Head are manufactured from Food Grade Polished Cast Aluminum (NOT Coated). These parts should NOT be washed in the dishwasher, but should be washed with a mild detergent (like Dawn Liquid) and hot water, towel dried and stored in a dry place.

My current meat grinder is an ancient hand operated, clamp on, with two plates and a single cutter thingamabob.
I clamp it on a piece of plywood, and clamp that to our island when I use it. Which is....
A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away....

Just my opinion ,, I would pass . That's alot of hype to sell one grinder . Hold on to your $200 and find some you can look at local .

I have no experience with the grinder you are showing, but I have owned several
meat grinders, starting with my kitchen aid stand mixer. From there I slowly
graduated to bigger and supposedly better grinders. Some were good some were
absolutely horrible. As the saying goes you get what you pay for. One grinder I
have settled on and works flawlessly for me is in the link. It has a very powerful
motor and will grind as large of a piece of meat that will fit in the feed tube
without even pulling the motor down. It is a little more labor intensive to use
since you need to unbolt the grinder assembly from the motor to clean, but
that to me is worth the extra effort.

A few people here have STX grinders but I haven't any mention here of that model. It is fairly new to the market. The brand itself has been arouund for a little while.
I have been levitating towards that Model for the simple reason the Plates shown have what looks like a fairly common indexing. The others of that brand have Square tabs for indexing and I have yet to find a source for replacement plates outside of the manufacturer. This seems to be a common problem with several budget grinders.
Many places carry plates with similar indexing as this one.

Thanks, like the all SS design.
Found this one which is slightly cheaper and likely more suited for my limited use:

Don't ask me, I'm running a 1950s hand crank Chop-Rite #10
While we're at it, what about that one plate which apparently is called a wagon wheel plate - the openings look like slices of pie. I've seen those before but I've never known what they are used for. So, ??
BTW the #10 and #12 plates are the same size. A #10 grinder clamps on (like mine) while a #12 stands on its feet.
