For minced meat, sausages, slicing and shredding: TOP-5 multifunctional meat grinders

The plastic case of the model representing the Viva Collection family is painted to look like stainless steel. But the tray and the connecting element responsible for fixing the screw are already directly made of steel, which contributes to the overall high reliability of the device.

Such indicators are enough to cope with any, including tough types of meat with thick veins. For a minute of work Philips HR 2723 makes up to 2.3 kg of minced meat, but it works quite noisily, especially with solid loads. In case of overheating, the motor switches off automatically.

The controls are as simple as possible: there is only an on / off button on the body, but the reverse function is not provided, so to remove the veins from the auger, you will probably need to disassemble the device. At the same time, caring for the meat grinder is as convenient as possible. So, the metal loading part has an additional collapsible InsertClean element, which simplifies the procedure for washing it under running water. And for quick removal of meat residues from the holes of the disks, a convenient accessory with protrusions of the required diameter is offered.

They will allow you to grind the meat in the right way, up to its transformation into a homogeneous paste. Additionally, along with the meat grinder, there is a nozzle for stuffing homemade sausages.

So that the two most actively used minced meat discs are always at hand, a special compartment is implemented on the device case. The meat grinder is noisy during operation. The disadvantages of the model include a plastic loading tray, which will not appeal to connoisseurs of natural materials and is more prone to damage and staining against a metal background. Otherwise, for its money, the Zelmer ZMM 5580 offers advanced features and it is no coincidence that it is so in demand among buyers.

Outwardly, the meat grinder is identical to another popular model of the German manufacturer - Bosch CompactPower MFW3640A black . The differences are associated with a more durable electric motor (its peak power reaches 1800 W, and the productivity reaches 2 kg of minced meat per minute) and the presence of a citrus press in the delivery set, which will delight connoisseurs of fresh juices.

Users are offered a reverse function (reverse screw) and two speeds, contributing to additional comfort in work. It is recommended to make minced meat at maximum speed, and juice at a slow speed, but both modes are suitable for shredding: it all depends on the goals pursued.

The disadvantages of the model include the presence of a loading tray made of plastic, which, with intensive use, quickly scratches and loses its original appearance. If this does not bother, then the Bosch MFW 3640 should be one of the favorites when choosing. The meat grinder operates quietly, effectively copes with all assigned functions, is protected from overloads, is compact and attractive, and is characterized by high quality workmanship.

The Kenwood meat grinder and all its connecting elements are made of metal. So, the feed opening, knife, and auger are steel, and the body is made of cast aluminium. Only individual accessories (pusher and nozzles), controls and internal gears are made of plastic.

In addition to aesthetic appeal, the metal body contributes to the additional reliability and durability of the Kenwood MG 516. And aluminium does not make the model too heavy (5.3 kg).

The Kenwood MG 516 excels at cutting meat and makes shredding food easy. The meat grinder looks spectacular in the kitchen due to its metal design and is better protected from damage, which eliminates the higher price compared to plastic multifunctional analogues such as Moulinex HV8 ME659132 white .

The meat grinder of the French manufacturer Moulinex is positioned as a multifunctional kitchen assistant. This is confirmed by 9 nozzles in the kit. For the preparation of minced meat, three steel discs with different hole diameters are provided: 7.5, 4.7 and 3 mm.

In the design of Moulinex ME 688832, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The rubberized feet exclude sliding of the device on a working surface. The handle at the top makes it easy to transport the meat grinder. Most attachments (all but the cutting and shredding drums) can be stored in a storage compartment on the back of the case. A storage system for the power cord is also provided.

The disadvantages of the model include the high price, as for a meat grinder with a plastic case. At the same time, there should be no complaints about reliability: Moulinex ME 688832 is made of metal to connect the auger to the motor unit and the loading hole. In addition, the manufacturer claims the maintainability of the device for 10 years. This, together with high performance and a solid set of nozzles, makes the requested amount quite justified.
