(More customer reviews)Yes, you can get a better sausage stuffer, at about twice the price.But this one is the best of this particular design.No plastic, all metal parts (except on the plunger).
A couple points...one, this is probably assembled in China.Mine had the plunger assembly put together a bit backwards.Yours should be white rubber piece, the thing that looks like a container lid, then the stainless disc and screw. It works much better assembled like that.Two, make sure you mount this very well.I made a jig to mount it to that fits firmly over my countertop and then used 4 cheap wood clamps from Harbor Freight to snug it up.Works great.Three, add a little water as you operate the plunger, if it's giving you a hard time.It will make little to no difference in the final product and make stuffing MUCH easier. Four, get some wooden dowels, each just slightly undersized for the bore of the tubes.Cut some inner tube rubber discs just oversize of the bore and, with a small nylon washer, screw the rubber discs to the end of the dowels (drill pilot hole first).When you are finishing the job up, you can then unscrew the main ring holding the tube on and use these dowels as a final plunger to move the rest of the meat into the casings.
I give it a 4 only because it will require these minor mods, and because at some point, new plunger parts will likely have to be made.The main body is built for life, though.
So...in conclusion, if you have the money and don't like futzing with things, go buy one of those cylinder units...but if you don't mind a little futzing, you can save a lot of money and end up with a unit that works just fine by buying this one.
