Summer sale and grinder size

[Dave in AZ]

If trying to decide what power, There are only 3 recent threads I recall seeing on these grinders. you many want to look at regarding the WALTON’S 12, 22, and one shot head, and their power. One guy wasnt happy at all with #12, one guy had 22 get bound up a lot, and tons of folks like the one shot head. These are the only 3 threads I remember on those grinders for last 3 months or so. There could have been issues with those, it was never reported what root problems were-- malfunction or just dissatisfied with power.
I think some guys with same machines posted in the threads so you can see some positive reviews or comments there.

No one ever regrets getting a more powerful tool, if you can swing the 22…

[Lazur]

Yeah. The one shot head is what is leaning me to a Waltons. Boss gave me a $500 basspro gift card so I was going to just get a carnivore, but now having second thoughts.

I bought the #22 grinder yesterday.

[Dave in AZ]

TheBandit I think you’ll be happy. I really like the #22 throat size and die diameter, because we can easily put hand inside with sponge to clean, makes it very easy.

Lazur Bigger is better! Your machine won’t have to work as hard.

[samspade]

I went with a 32 from another manufacturer. But bigger is easier to clean since you can get in and scub.

Lazur don’t no when it ends but bigger is better

When choosing a grinder I would first look at how much meat I want to grind during a typical grinding session.
I would also consider whether my future needs might some day grow beyond my current needs.

I would respectfully disagree with the advice that bigger is better.
Big Enough is the best choice IMO because you are wasting money if you buy a grinder with capacity you won’t ever use or need. A too large piece of equipment might take up storage space you can use for other equipment. Large grinders are heavier too and may be a pain if you need to move them from your storage area to where you want to set up to grind.

As far as ease of cleaning goes, just get a cleaning brush that fits in the size of grinder you have and they all clean about the same.

One definite advantage of larger grinders is the speed you can process your second grind. On small grinders, the second grind can be a little slow to feed down the grinder throat, but even that is not too bad if you know a few tricks .
