I purchased this product because the concept sounded great. However, once the software was installed, my computer was severely impaired. From login to the display of the desktop was delayed by 6 additional minutes. I contacted the company and found out this is essentially what their software does, and there is no solution.

First off, I want to disclose that I was provided this at a discount in order to provide a review. I don't ever let that effect my judgement of the product, but it bears mentioning. Also, I don't like long winded reviews any more than you do, so I'll try to keep this short and to the point.

The meat grinder is about the size of my small blender, the magic bullet, just a little bit wider. It fits very nicely on my counters tops and doesn't take up too much space. Although, after I am done using it, I do make sure to put it away underneath the kitchen sink. I own another meat grinder, which is much larger and I have used it for years. And from the very beginning it felt strange to use. It was large and clunky and felt like it belonged in a meat owners shop. It was electric and plugged into a wall. This one however is the perfect size for my family to use. It is completely hand cranked and there is no electricity or wiring involved at all. The meat grinder is made of a hard plastic, with stainless steel for the grinder piece for the meat to go through. It also suctions onto the counter very well, with a strong grip that only releases when the knob is turned. Honestly nothing bad to say about it. I have ground, meat for burgers, meatballs, and even vegetables as well for some homemade salsa. I do recommend giving this a thorough washing before, because some of the flavoring of my garlic went through with the meat, which wasn't a bad thing, but something to be aware of. It also important to trim off the fat on meat or else it may get stuck inside the grinder. I got the hand crank meat grinder for a discount for reviewing purpose, but came here to drop the honest truth.
