![AAOBOSI #12 Meat Grinder, [3000W] 3 Speed Meat Grinder Heavy Duty: Built-in Storage Box, 2 Blades,4 Plates,3 Sausage Stuffers](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71QeuPrjUcL._AC_UL165_SR165,165_.jpg)
I normally do not get to be the one who leaves the first review on a product, but it looks like my review is going to be the first so I am going to do my best and tell you all about my 1st month's experience with this STX grinder.
My husband and I have been wanting a new meat grinder for about a year and been searching for one that was, what you might consider, a Full Kit with everything needed for meat grinding and sausage stuffing, but all we could find was grinders that only had 3 different sizes of grinding plates, 1 cutting blade, no stuffing tubes, etc. We were also looking for a grinder that had a larger diameter of meat stuffing tunnel (the place where you stuff the meat into) and a larger diameter of where the meat comes out, but most all of them we looked at were (as we found out) what is considered a smaller size #8 kitchen grinder and not the larger size #12 grinder. When we saw that this new Turbo II show up on the market, we saw it was a larger size #12 grinder, came with 5 different sizes of grinding plates, 1 beaner plate, 3 sizes of sausage tubes with a kubbe attachment and "get this" - a foot pedal control you can use if you want for two hands free while grinding or stuffing sausage!
Here's my Pros - kind of redundant, but what the heck:
1) The price - Can't Be Beat for all you get with this package
2) This is a very nice looking grinder (we bought the black one) and the chrome accents make it look very nice on my kitchen counter
3) It's a Size #12 Grinder and not a size #8
4) It includes a total of 5 Grinding Plate with sizes of holes ranging from 4mm up to 12 mm and also what they call a Wagon Wheel Plate for those large sausage grinds
5) It also includes 1 Beaner Plate - this is used for stuffing sausage only and not for grinding, but it allows for the sausage to be stuffed into the casing faster and smoother - it worked Great when we made some Italian Sausage last weekend
6) Of course, the 3 stuffing tubes and kubbe attachment are a nice addition
7) Best of all, the added foot pedal is nothing short of fantastic as one person can do most any job with this grinder - especially when you are stuffing sausage with it
8) Instructions - Well written with many photos on how to assemble the parts for different purposes. Also includes hints on grinding correctly, sausage stuffing and how to clean all of the parts
My Cons:
1) The only thing I was a little disappointed with was, at first with this unit, that is was somewhat loud, but I had not read a special note that came with the grinder. They had a note that states that the grinder would be somewhat loud when you first started using it, but after 5 to 10 hours of use, it would start getting quieter. We have used this unit for around 15 hours so far and it has quieted down to a normal sound (where you can talk) much to our satisfaction.
2) This is really not a Con, but I had to put this in with my review someplace. When we first got the grinder, we read the instructions on how to clean all of the parts (do NOT use your dishwasher) and cleaned them for our first use properly. We then reassembled the grinder and had 2 lbs of a chuck roast all cut up and ready to grind. We started grinding and the meat that came out of the front of the grinder was coming out very slowly and it looked like "MUSH" and we were quite disappointed. My husband (I don't read instructions) looked in the instructions and found where the company had states clearly, "Make sure that the Cutting Blade is Inserted Correctly" as otherwise your grinder would not work properly. Well, of course, we checked our cutting blade and yes we had installed it backwards:)!!! We took the cutting blade out, turned it the other (correct) way and the result was "Grinding Perfection". So the moral to this story is make sure and install your cutting blade correctly and/or read the instructions before using this product.
No other cons at this time, but if I run into anything, I will edit my review and let you all know.
I might mention that as far as what this company states about their Quad Air Cooling making the unit last longer, I cannot comment on this as we have only had it for a month, but their statement about this new cooling system keeping the grinder cool while using it - this "Does" work. Two weeks ago, we ran this grinder for over 3 hours in one sitting and it was as cool after the 3 hours of use as when we first started.

One Very Happy Customer

3 Sizes Sausage Tubes and Stuffing Adaptor
A Set of 3 Sizes of Sausage Stuffing Tubes along with the Adapter are also included with this grinder (shown in the 1st photo above).
The Diameter of the Sausage Stuffing Tubes are 3/4 Inch, 5/8 Inch and 1/2 Inch and come with an adapter for stuffing with any of the 3 sizes.
Kubbe/Kibbe Attachment
A Kubbe (also know as Kibbe) Attachment also comes with this grinder.
For those of you who are not familiar with Kubbes, they are Traditional Middle Eastern Dish comprised of a cylinder-like shell made from meat which is typically lamb and bulghar wheat. The center is then stuffed with a spiced minced lamb filling and the ends are sealed to form the Kubbe which is then Deep-Fried.
New Style Meat Pusher
We have designed a new type/style of Meat Pusher for stuffing your raw meat down into the grinder.
Although this grinder will normally just pull the meat down into the auger to be ground, you can just use the palm of your hand on the top of this pusher instead of gripping it with your hands which can get tiresome.
Parts Packed in One
In the above photo you can see that the top of the Meat Pusher opens up and you can store your Sausage Tube Set inside of it.
If you do store the Sausage Tubes inside this pusher, we suggest that you dry them thoroughly before storing them so condensation does not build up inside the pusher.

Grinds chicken bones for dog food
It’s good for making dog food. Grinds up chicken bones easily. You do have to prechop the chicken to fit in the hole first. I just chopped them narrow enough to fit but kept the bones in tact. It never clogged and easily ground them. I was stopping and chopping along the way so the machine did have breaks in between. If you are grinding for a steady amount of time it does say to give the machine a little break to cool down. I think what I did was enough of a break. The chopping of the chicken took so long! Now I know why butchers use butcher knives. That’s my next purchase. And a cutting board specifically for chicken. Chopping up the chicken with a regular knife took me about 2 hours for approximately 30lb. Pure torture. The grinding didn’t take very long though. Once the chicken is chopped. I ran it through again for a finer grind - the 2nd grinding takes a little longer just to feed the meat in the hole I think. It’s loud but I expected it to be loud. It says it will quiet down over time. That part really doesn’t bother me. It wasn’t hard to assemble but I spent about 15-20 min reading the manual first to wrap my head around things. Very simple once you have it set up and use it for the first time. You have to hand wash the parts and towel dry right away. It’s not that bad. The worst part is chopping the chicken to fit in the hole. That’s enough for me to want to quit making this dog food! So I’m going to buy a butcher knife and see if I can not be tortured as bad. And on top of it all, I’m a vegetarian! Probably the first vegetarian butcher out there! Surprised I didn’t have nightmares last night! Start to finish took me like 6 hours! I think I’ll pre hop chicken the day before. Then grind and measure out/ package 2nd day. We’ll see. I gotta figure something out. But this machine makes grinding easy. If the hole was bigger it would be even easier. I bought the one that’s around $300. It has the foot press which makes it easy.

I purchased the STX turbo a couple days ago and I've gotta say im impressed.
A great grinder for home at an excellent price point
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2020
I work as a butcher and for the price point this is one of the better tabletop grinders I've used.
It sets-up easy, breaks down quickly and for smaller batches of ground meat and sausage preparation it hits the mark in just about every category.
The first thing i made was kielbasa. The attachments that came with the grinder made it very easy. I def recommend pre chilling your protein before you grind. The smaller size of the hopper vs industrial sized grinders means it can get warm and could slow the grind. That being said the grinder didn't bog down once. The grind was consistent and clean up was minimal.
I also made burgers from scratch and they came out just as good. Again pre chilling your protein is a must. Though i didn't chill the grind the second time through and still had no problems.
The only minor complaint i could have is the feeding tray is a little on the small size so making sausage was a bit harder than with larger models. But given the smaller size of the grinder it was to be expected.
All and all i would def recommend the STX turboforce to anyone looking for a small grinder to use at home. Compared to other grinders or attachments,specifically ones that attach to stand mixers(which I'd advise you to avoid given their tendency to wear out the mother) at its price point i can't speak more highly of it.
