Our take on the Nesco FG-180 500-Watt Food Grinder

The Nesco FG-180 is a 500-watt electric food grinder with a stainless steel body and a die-cast hopper. It can grind up to 3 lbs of meat per minute and comes with three stainless steel plates for coarse, medium, and fine grinds, plus forward and reverse speeds. Owners praise its ease of use and cleaning, though some find it noisy and note that parts are not dishwasher safe. It suits home cooks who want a reliable grinder for occasional use at a lower cost than heavy-duty models.
