LEMProducts MightyBite 20 Pound Capacity Manual Meat Mixer, Stainless Steel, Manual Only

This works well for mixing sausage. I used it for two batches last wee, each batch being around 12 - 13 pounds and it was fast. Make sure and reverse the direction you turn the handle once in awhile and you'll be done in just a few minutes.It's a pain to clean. Not only is it big but it has this coating on it that doesn't allow a warm soapy sponge to easily glide over it. Honestly if you only plan on making sausage 10 pounds at a time, I'd consider just doing it by hand (hands stay warm using this mixer though).

After mixing several batches of sausage with frozen hands I purchased the Lem meat mixer. The next 20 lbs of sausage I mixed in three batches. Three different flavors. Worked great. The paddles did need some tweaking when I first assembled it. No big deal.

Works best if you turn counter clockwise but becomes difficult the way the blades are angled. I found 4-5 turns clock wise after counter clockwise rotation of 6-7 turns seams to get me to a tacky stage fairly quick. Only going in the clockwise direction you will never get a good mix. Not really good for less than 10 pounds of meat nor more than 15 pounds. If you go by the 20 pound that's capacity not product. If you read instructions I recall its 16-17 pounds max.? No sharp edges on mine, would have been nice if they welded inside connections, takes a really good stiff brush to get that 90 clean. If it was welded in could have been filleted and made cleaning a breeze.

I love it and it works great but the finish is less then I'd hope. Don't think it will be a long term problem but it feels strange and looks strange so you spend extra time trying to make sure it's cleaned properly

This unit is exactly what I expected. The unit feels solid. The instructions for assembly were easy to follow. I processed 10 pounds of summer sausage as a test this evening and everything worked exactly as anticipated. Clean up is a chore but everything with processing seems to be. I would certainly recommend this product.

We have been making jerky for years and this is the best purchase for the jerky we have made. Mixes very well and with ease!! No more tired hands! We have also used it for mixing summer sausage. Can be a little difficult to get all the meat out and need to remove the mixing plate....but it's worth it.

Love this! For me it just completed everything I need to make sausage and really enjoy it!

I feel like I should have saved the $30 and bought the Chinese knockoff. It has bread bushings and assembly is the same. It is built well and worked fine. Could fit about 25# in it but really for mixing would not exceed 20. The handle is the same design where you have to use it on the edge of the countertop. The rubber feet held it pretty well. Did seem to rock a little like wasn't perfectly square. Also came with scratches on the finish inside. It was packaged well but obviously something was rubbing. I have other LEM products and they work well. The 2 year warranty is where I get the extra value for the cost.
