How much meat are you going to grind?

Grinders are separated by how much they'll grind per minute. For instance, a 0.5 HP grinder will run about 6 lbs/minute. A 1.5 HP will run about 18 lbs/minute.

I have a 0.75 HP grinder, so about 8-9 lbs/minute, basically a little more than I'll typically need to grind at one time. But when I have to grind several different meats and want to do it all in one evening, I don't have to worry about it getting hot and burning up the motor. Had that problem with my first 300-watt grinder.

Got mine at Cabela's, but probably you can't go wrong with a name brand.
