I use the Kitchenaid grinder and haven't had any problems yet, but I only do 10lbs at a time at the moment. I will definitely be buying a new grinder after the holidays though. I feel like the Kitchenaid grinder is pretty rough on the mixer and don't want to have to buy a new mixer.Are the grinders that go on a Kitchen Aid mixer any good? I was thinking of purchasing a grinder and stuffer also.

Yeah, I have the Artisan series and it gets really warm by the time I'm finished.What really matters on the mixer is whether it's the large mixer or the smaller Artisan series. I've been using the Artisan for about 6-7 years for grinding and no, it really doesn't like it! [emoji]128512[/emoji]
If you are thinking of getting something small like a Kitchen Aid grinder, I would recommend going with one of the smaller grinders you can find, and getting a separate stuffer.Are the grinders that go on a Kitchen Aid mixer any good? I was thinking of purchasing a grinder and stuffer also.
I've had one for a year. It works just fine, and I'm very happy with it (sure beats my old hand-crank grinder). However, I only do a few pounds of meat at a time. You could use it for twenty pounds as well, like the OP wants. However, at some point, if you are doing twenty pounds of meat multiple times per week, you might want to invest in something that has a larger capacity. The feed tube in the KitchenAid requires that you cut the meat into 1-2 inch wide strips.Are the grinders that go on a Kitchen Aid mixer any good?

Since I have the KitchenAid grinder attachment (the plastic one), and since I sure don't want to ruin my grinder, can you provide a little more information about how it harmed your mixer? Did the motor stall and burn out? Did it strip the gear driving the attachment screw?I do not recommend the kitchenaid attachment. I ruined my 8 qt bowl lift mixer with just 6# of meat. And this is supposed to be there most powerful mixer.
