I'll second your opinion about the KitchenAid meat grinder attachment. It's made of a plastic material.which cracked shortly after the warranty expired, and to paraphrase KitchenAid, left me SOL. I put a stainless steel automotive hose clamp around it and have continued to use it for some 27 years. It is best used when you intend to grind less than 5# of meat as it does take time. I'm looking at upgrading to a size #12 dedicated meat grinder with a stainless steel head now that I'm getting into sausage making seriously. If you've taken the time to read the fine print for the new aluminum alloy heads of various sellers you may have noticed what I have - do not soak in hot soapy water. They want you to do a quick wash and rinse ASAP. If you don't? No warranty.I bought the Smoke House Chef stainless steal grinder attachment for the KitchenAid and I love it. If I were doing 15-20lbs at a time though, I would buy a dedicated grinder and stuffed. Imho, I find stuffing attachment for the KitchenAid to be less than useless.
