Peak power
Peak power is responsible for emergency situations, the device is able to work on it for a short time, however, long-term work with such a load is fraught with a meat grinder breakdown.
Capacity
The amount of meat that the meat grinder can process in one minute. More
powerful meat grinders(see Power) are usually more performant, however, these two parameters are not directly related — the meat grinders with the same capacity may have different power, and vice versa, equally powerful devices may differ significantly in performance.
Number of speeds
The presence of
several speeds allows you to select the desired mode for processing a particular product. The speed of the meat grinder directly affects its performance. Usually, meat grinders have a minimum number of speeds, one or two, in rare cases — three. The initial speed is suitable for processing small and medium-sized pieces, while it will be possible to effectively grind even large-sized products at higher speeds.
Overload protection
The
meat grinder engine protection system from overheating and overload, which turns off the device in case of a critical increase in loads (for example, when a bone enters the meat grinder and the spiral auger is jammed).
Compartment for cord
A special compartment in the body of the device for storing the power cord. Often such compartments are also equipped with devices for uniform winding of the wire, which prevents bending and possible fractures.
The compartment for the cord is especially useful if the meat grinder is used relatively rare and has been idle for a long time outside the kitchen.
Legs with suction cups
The presence of rubber or silicone feet in the meat grinder design, installed in the lower part of the body.
The suction cup feet provide a strong grip of the device on the work surface, preventing it from slipping during operation, they also reduce vibration and noise. Thanks to this, the meat grinder maintains reliable stability, which is important when processing large volumes of solid products.
