Meat mincer recommendations

We've killed Kenwood mincer plus couple of other cheapies. One of these days will buy a zeropac machine.

Yes. The cheaper model of Kenwood which I had previously was a shitter.

The Kenwood is $100 cheaper than the Farmlands one.
The Kenwood is 850W compared to 750W.
We put heaps through the mincer, have just done 12kg in a few minutes. Have had it for about 10 years.
I bring venison home, blink twice and my wife has put it all through the mincer, vacuum packed it and given it to relatives, friends, neighbours, passing tradesman and vagrants. It's an endless cycle. Love it.

Be careful when you start comparing power rating for the machines, there's a trap. There are 3 numbers that can be used. Peak power, input power and rated power. Rated power is the true power rating which measure continuous power at the mincing head. This will always be the lowest number of the 3 ratings not all companies use this rating, the machine can be made to look more powerful than it is by using one of the other ratings which will always be higher.

Part of 19.5 kg wife has just done. She is particular that it is pure meat so very little sinew or fat sneaks through. I do the first prep and then she picks over it. Now she is out delivering it to all and sundry. These deer were meant to go to a charity but wife intercepted them :)

I run the farmlands one , doing straight fat makes them work, I save my meat up so end up doing 80 odd kg at a time , weakest part of all I have looked at and touched is lack of cooling (have not seen a Hakka one tho) mods so far increase air slot size and fit a 100mm fan on underside wired up to run when it’s plugged in
Recently did 6hrs straight running and was still semi cool to the touch
