Before puchasing this I was using an electric mincer which you can stick on a sausage stuffing tube. This was ok but very laborious.
Firstly, again a quick delivery. I opened the box and assembled the stuffer. This was a very easy process. The base of the stuffer has 4 holes for fixing to a solid surface (recomended). Two of the corners where the holes were drilled were bent up, I presumed due to Mr parcel force being heavy handed. Not really a problem just a bit of a let down on the cosmetic appearance. This was no worry because as soon as you screw it to a solid base the corners will flatten.
I was glad to see 3 stuffing tubes to complete the kit.
The stuffer itself is very robust, and so easy to use. Nice stainless steel build. And I am not jokeing when I say it has cut down production time by at least 80% compeared to the SLOW electric mincer which smelled of burning if you tried to quicken things up.
Easy to stuff with not much effort ( unless its not anchored to a base). And takes a fair load.
Easy to assemble and take apart for cleaning. So much easer to clean than the electric mincer.
Now the only drawback that I can comment on as others have, is the stuffing tubes. The longest process is actually feeding the casings on to the tubes. But saying this, it didnt take ages , just a bit longer than my other tubes. I think as others have commented before its either the material they are made from , or the finish to the tube.
But in conclusion I highly recomend this stuffer for a first one. The price is right, and cheaper than other sausage making sites I have visited for almost the same product. Im am very pleased with it. Once again postage was quick and the ordering process simple. And its ease of total use was pleasing.
I hope this has been of help to anyone considering puchasing this product. And I am once again a very happy customer.
Sausages are so cool.
