Performant kitchen grinders: TOP-5 high-power meat grinders

The meat grinder of the French brand Moulinex combines high performance and compactness. The device received a 700-watt electric motor that can withstand peak loads up to 2000 watts and is equipped with an overload protection system. Together with a sharp steel knife and a large auger, the claimed power provides high productivity: up to 2.3 kg of processed meat per minute. The payment for this, according to user reviews, is a strong noise in the process of work, capable of scaring a small child or pets.

Moulinex ME 442 is made of plastic, so the total weight of the device is only 2.9 kg. For easy carrying, there is a handle on the back of the case. The loading tray of the model is also plastic, which increases the likelihood of scratches and negatively affects the overall durability of the product. But with careful handling, such troubles can be avoided by enjoying the operation of a lightweight and compact kitchen appliance.

The meat grinder is equipped with a pair of disks for cooking minced meat. The nozzle with a small diameter of holes (4.5 mm) is perfect for cooking children's dishes. A large grill (7.5 mm holes) is designed for cooking cutlets, meatballs, pie fillings, etc. Also included with the Moulinex ME 442 are two special plastic nozzles for homemade sausages and kebbe, which will simplify the preparation of your favorite meat dishes.

Cleaning the Moulinex ME 442 nozzles and tray from dirt is allowed in the dishwasher. And the tangling of the power cord will avoid a special compartment for its storage in the lower part of the case. However, the very operation of the meat grinder can be complicated by the lack of a reverse function. To remove the meat veins that are wound on the auger, you will have to disassemble the device.

Given the low cost of the meat grinder, it can be recommended to anyone who is looking for a powerful and at the same time compact solution for reasonable money. And if you need more attachments in the kit, then take a closer look at the older model Moulinex ME 659.

The steel body of the meat grinder of the German brand Caso makes it a decoration for almost any kitchen. In addition, a screw, a knife, a fixing screw, grilles for hardware, a loading tray are made of metal alloys. Therefore, in addition to aesthetics, you can count on increased durability and reliability of the model.

The Caso FW 2000 engine operates at 2000 watts at peak loads. The nominal operating power is 800 watts. The meat grinder grinds more than 2 kg of meat per minute, and at increased loads, the motor automatically turns off, for which a special fuse is responsible.

There are 3 modes of operation of the device: first and second speed, as well as reverse. With the last function of reverse rotation, you can safely take into work stringy meat with cartilage, without worrying that it will clog the auger, and you will have to disassemble the device.

High power causes noticeable acoustic discomfort during the operation of the device. It is unlikely to be possible to talk calmly in the kitchen while cooking minced meat.

Together with the Caso FW 2000, there are three molding discs for the production of minced meat and minced meat. The nozzles have different hole diameters — 3, 5 and 8 mm, which allows you to get the desired consistency of the product at the output. Also included is a nozzle for homemade sausages and a disk with shaped slots for forming dough blanks for baking cookies.

Not too convenient is only a pusher for products. Its diameter is significantly smaller than that of the bell, so that meat or other products can get out when using it.

A nice bonus for the owner of the Caso FW 2000 will be that all accessories, including the pusher, can be stored in the loading tray, closing it with a complete transparent lid. Plus, there is a system for winding the power cord on the bottom of the model. And the suction cup legs will take care of the stable fixation of the device during operation.

If the high noise level inherent in powerful meat grinders is not a critical moment for you, then the Caso FW 2000, thanks to its reliability and thoughtful ergonomics, can become a favorite.

The model represents the upper price segment of meat grinders of the Zelmer trademark. The device is made of metal, which makes it look stylish and attractive, as well as well protected from scratches or other mechanical influences.

Zelmer ZMM 2008 is equipped with a solid set of nozzles. In addition to three discs for preparing minced meat of various consistencies, there is a nozzle for homemade sausages and 4 metal graters at once: for small and large grinding, rubbing and slicing.

The kit includes devices that turn a meat grinder into a screw juicer. With them, you can prepare vegetable purees, as well as juices from tomatoes, raspberries, strawberries, currants and other fruits and berries without large seeds.

Zelmer ZMM 2008 is also equipped with a millstone mill, which, like classic millstones, is designed for grinding coffee, as well as grinding cereals, spices, nuts, and powdered sugar.

The meat grinder will please with its high performance (according to the manufacturer, up to 2.3 kg of meat per minute). The peak power of the 650-watt motor is 1900 watts, while it is protected from both overload and mechanical damage (a special coupling is provided). There is also a reverse, with which the auger begins to rotate in the opposite direction, which allows it to be cleaned of meat veins without disassembly.

As users note, despite the high performance, the noise level during operation is low.

Zelmer ZMM 2008 is equipped with a three-position control key on the side of the housing (on, off and reverse). The process of assembling and using various attachments is simplified by the click-ready system with an easy turn for fixing. The shortcomings of the model include the absence of a handbag or other devices for storing numerous accessories. And the downside is the weak corrosion protection of the knife and minced meat discs. To prevent the appearance of rust, they not only need to be wiped dry after washing in water, but also additionally lubricated with vegetable oil.

In general, the meat grinder claims the status of a multifunctional assistant, which also replaces a juicer, graters, mills and other kitchen utensils.

The ProPower series model of the German company Bosch is the market leader in sales. It has a high power level (800 watts — nominal and 2200 watts — peak) and is capable, according to the manufacturer, of processing up to 4.3 kg of meat per minute.

Overheating of the motor is prevented by the load protection system. And for additional convenience in operation, a reverse mode is implemented — it provides a reverse screw stroke to simplify its cleaning.

Lovers of meat dishes will be pleased with accessories for cooking kebbe and hardware homemade sausages. There is also a nozzle press for cooking vegetable purees and juices.

Many users of the meat grinder complain about the last accessory. So, despite the fact that the instructions indicate the possibility of making juice from apples and pears, in fact Bosch MFW 68660 normally squeezes only soft berries, fruits and tomatoes. When trying to use solid ingredients, the nozzle press often breaks down or the quality of the fresh leaves much to be desired.

In order to ensure durability, the housing, the loading tray, the screw shaft, most of the nozzles and docking elements are made of metal. Because of this, the total weight of the device in the assembly increases (6.4 kg), but thanks to the practical handle, it is quite convenient to carry the Bosch MFW 68660.

A special compartment in the meat grinder housing, in which all the molding grates are placed, will solve the problem of their storage. And most of the other accessories fit in a large tray. At the base of the meat grinder there is a compartment for storing the power cord and plug, and at the bottom there are rubberized legs that exclude the mobility of the case during operation.

In general, it is no coincidence that Bosch MFW 68660 is very popular. The overall performance of the meat grinder will easily satisfy the needs of any, even the largest family, as well as all those who prefer to prepare minced meat and other products for the future.

With a limited low-cost, it is worth paying attention to the younger brother of the model — MFW 67440. It is inferior in power (700 watts), has a plastic tray and a smaller number of nozzles.

A metal meat grinder from a British manufacturerKenwood is at the junction of premium home models and semi-professional appliances. The power of its motor is 800 watts with the possibility of growth up to 2000 watts at peak loads.

The Kenwood MG 700 is designed to provide additional efficiency with a large auger and an output pipe diameter increased to 10 cm. As a result, the maximum productivity of the model when processing meat is about 3 kg per minute. At the same time, the noise level is not too high against the background of analogs comparable in power.

The intensity of the device is conveniently regulated by a switch on the housing: there are 2 operating speeds and a reverse mode. In case of overloads, an automatic shutdown of the motor is provided.

The Kenwood MG 700 has all the necessary attachments for meat processing in the basic configuration. You can choose from three steel discs with different hole diameters to produce minced meat. There are also 2 nozzles for cooking homemade sausages of various diameters and a special accessory for kebbe lovers.

It is convenient to store the Kenwood MG 700 nozzles in a large loading tray that closes with a transparent lid. The latter can be used separately as a container for minced meat. By the way, the storage task is also simplified by the fact that accessories for cooking homemade sausages and kebbe are easily hidden inside the pusher.

The meat grinder also has a cable compartment and reliable rubberized legs on the bottom.

The disadvantages of the Kenwood MG 700 include the high cost and impressive weight against the background of the main competitors, for example, the Bosch MFW 68660 model. Not every housewife can constantly take out and hide a 7.3-kilogram device, and only owners of spacious kitchens can afford to leave it on the desktop. Otherwise, the model effectively handles with its basic functions and serves many users faithfully for 5 years or more.
