I love my grinder attachment for the KA. It does not heat up like other quality metal pieces. Perfect for home.

We were given her mother’s Kitchenaid mixer. It’s well over 30 yrs old and it still works like a charm.
I have the meat grinder attachment and use it every now an then. Just when I use it I’ll cube my meat then put the meat and grinder in the freezer for 15 minutes before I grind and it makes grinding so simple.

I inherited my grandmother's 70s era avocado green Kitchenaid and it's still going strong. If that's not an endorsement for durability, I don't know what is.
That said, I've never used a different stand mixer, so I can't compare it to the others mentioned here. I don't use it to roll pasta or grind meats. If I need to grind meat, I use my food processor. It won't make sausage, but it'll grind up meat for meatloaf or meatballs or hamburgers close enough, and it's easier to use and clean.

We have a Kitchenaid Pro, got it 4 or 5 years ago. The thing is great. I agree the grinder attachment is of limited use, but I have used it successfully for ham loaf and pate, I wouldn't try grinding an elk with it.
Costco frequently has good deals on Kitchenaid Mixers.
UPDATE: I was in Costco yesterday, and the Pro line was on sale for about $80 off, I thing the price was about $270, but I'm working from memory here so don't quote me.Last edited by Murdy; December 21, 2018, 11:26 AM.

You guys with the KitchenAid grinder - do you have the metal version, or the plastic?
Metal: https://www.kitchenaid.com/counterto...nt.ksmmga.html
Plastic: https://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-FG.../dp/B00004SGFH
Looks like Amazon has the plastic one for $30.99. Is it worth taking a flyer on it?

I have the plastic. About the same price. I've had it since the summer. Use it pretty regularly. No issues and no regrets. Used for grinding burgers and cheese.

I didn't get the KitchenAid brand meat grinder attachment -- I got the grinder attachment sold by https://SmokehouseChef.com. Their grinder attachment seems beefier. All stainless steel. I really like the larger feed tray.
If I was going to grind meat often, I'd get a dedicated grinder. But for making a few batches of sausage or hamburger here and there, the grinder attachment works fine.

I just upgraded our old one to a Professional 600 model. I make a lot of bread and this thing is awesome. I picked it up at Bed Bath and Beyond with several discounts for about $240. It's cobalt blue!
