- Is the Lemax MightyBite good for grinding bones or making sausage?
- No. It is designed for boneless meat. Bones and hard fat can stall the motor or damage the auger. For sausage, grind the meat first and use a separate stuffer or the stuffer attachment if your unit includes one.
- How much meat can it grind at once?
- Treat it as a small-batch machine. Run it in short sessions and let it cool between batches. Large volumes of meat are better suited to a higher-wattage grinder.
- Does the 500W motor handle frozen meat?
- Only partially thawed meat, cut into small cubes. Fully frozen meat is too hard for this motor and can jam the feed.
- What comes in the box?
- Expect the grinder body, a hopper, a feed pusher, grinding plates and a cutting blade. Check the listing for the exact plate sizes and whether a sausage stuffer tube is included.
- How should I clean it?
- Unplug it first. Wash the removable metal parts by hand in warm soapy water, dry them fully to avoid corrosion, and wipe the motor housing with a damp cloth. Do not put the body in water.
- Is it better than a manual grinder?
- For small batches, yes: it saves effort and is faster than hand cranking. A manual grinder is quieter and has no motor to burn out, but it is slower for anything beyond a pound or two.
