Anyone know what, if any, warranty is provided for MTN meat grinders? Can't find contact info or a place to buy MTN parts. Think I'll pass on this one

I have had the grinder for more than a yr or so and I would not recommend its for the tendency to rust

Yes, after less than 2 years, my grinder stopped grinding well, I couldn't fix it, and had to get rid of it. I was really mad.

Why? I had my previous from Capresso for 8 years and never had a problem with the grinder. Other parts gave out and the grinder was still going strong! Please consult the manufacturer.

This unit is pretty solid and powerful (it weighs 70 lbs and most of it is motor). Grinding 50lbs should not be a problem, the trick to any meat grinding is to make sure the meet fits in the tube....the bigger the feeder tube, the less cutting you need to do. If the meat is fatty like pork, then the meat needs to be chilled down pretty cold to prevent the fat from smearing. I usually put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes prior to grinding. The only real problem grinding is the smearing. If the fat smears, it is tough to grind almost anything.....but that is not specific to this model.

Warranty is pretty on spot. I used probe 2x & it worked like a charm. 3rd time when I was removing meat I heard a 'pop' & it went dead-I believe static was the culprit. I called KA cust. service & explained my situation & a replacement was sent (received within 2 days). I've been using it ever since!

No idea, but a darn good question. I have not purchased the grinder yet, but am interested in doing so. This may sway my purchase.Good Luck!!

I am not sure, depending on when you bought it the saw might still be under warranty so check that and see. in terms of getting a new motor if you can get it of I'm sure that it has a model number on it that you can search for and get a new motor. i have now used my saw for 2 years, this year we used to to cut 17 sheep, this does not include all of the deer we harvested and i have not had any issues, i suggest you look into why your motor burned out, it is possible that you had the blade too tight or when you washed your saw down the motor got some rust and you didnt break the rust off and kept the motor running or it might just be a defective motor something you should look into.

I've used the meat grinder - and i'd say it works well. it's a small attachment - small capacity - and you just keep adding the meat. The power /motor seems adequate.

I found a place that sells the bosch mixer meat grinder places with the various size holes. It's http://www.foryourkitchen.com/products/Bosch_Mixer_Meat_Grinder_Attachment_Parts-890-93.html ... I have the Bosch for small meat grinding jobs and I'm IMPRESSED with the great job the plate and knives work to grind up meat. I have a Chop Rite 2 for that I've motorized for heavier duty jobs, and have exhausted a number of other so called grinders. The plates are expensive, granted, but then they are expensive for the chop rite also. Chop Rite sharpens both their blades and plates which extends their life immensely, but sometimes you can find someone in your area that can sharpen meat grinder plates and knives. If not, then perhaps Chop Rite might consider doing it for you. If I remember correctly, it cost me about $5 apiece to sharpen. Enjoy!

This is not a professional meat grinder. If you wan't to use it very frequently i suggest a professional meatgrinder with metal gears. If you a are a user like me (once in a while ) this one works very well. (little loud for my opinion)

Bernard, I also want to remind you that we offer a lifetime warranty so that in the rare case the grinder fails we will ship you a placement unit. And just like the other guys mentioned, like any tool it should be cleaned when needed.

Did not find in manual the material used for the burrs, however, it states if one complies with the operating instructions, there is a life time warranty on the grinding mechanism. Hope this helps.

The comment about the plastic transmission cover is quite true. I have replaced numerous plastic covers with the heavy duty aluminum cover. None of the users said the grinder was the fault for the failure. Long run times over 20 minutes and repeated use of the dough hook was the culprit over 90% of the time.

The below comment is accurate. The people from this company are very good. I had a problem with mine not grinding and they sent me a new one.

As far as I know, no warranty or replacement parts available.( made on China) You probably get the 30 day purchase return, but other than that.... No assembly needed. Wish you could take part for cleaning. Heavy duty and should last a long time for my jerky needs. Would I purchase again? Don't know. I might spend the $$$ and buy an American commercial unit.

By Brandon K on September 15, 2012After maybe grinding up 20 or so pounds of pork, the machine started to make internal noises and ceased to work. After pulling it apart I found cheap plastic gears that were stripped of their teeth. I can't find replacement parts online and I emailed manufacture no response yet. My advise spend some the extra cash and buy a STX, because that is what I will be doing soon. I'm sure if I get another set of gears it will only be a matter of time before they strip too.
