Not worth whatever you pay for it. This was the cheapest one at the time I was looking for a meat grinder, so I decided to give it a try, in spite of some of the low ratings. My mistake. There's a reason it has low ratings. I didn't mind that it took quite a bit of force to turn it, but the lead angle and thread profile of the extrusion screw is so poorly finished, about a third of the meat simply fed backwards and turned to mush instead of extruding out the front knife mechanism. Unfortunately, I threw the packaging away and therefore can't return it, but will give it away at work (the fate of many home products I no longer want) and will go get a more expensive version. Or perhaps I'll simply have the meat departments at the grocery stores do the grinding for me (probably easiest approach).
