manual

The hand grinders work okay, but I'm looking forward to getting the grinder attachment for my wife's kitchenaid mixer. If you get a hand one, get a higher quality one. I have a universal No. 2 grinder and while it works it definitely leaves a LOT to be desired. I've used it to grind bone in chicken quarters for a raw dog food diet though, no complaints on durability.

I advise an electric or kitchenaid attachment. With sausage extruder either way. it's impossible to turn the crank and fill the skins. Unless you can count on having a helper if you make sausage.

looking for a mild workout? manual. where are you getting your meat from? store bought or harvested yourself? im an alaskan and get a moose every few years. LOTS of meat for the freezer/friends. at first most ppl who came over never grinded meat before, so the manual was easy, just let them do/try it. i highly recommend looking into making sausages

Seconding this. A lot of people have gripes with the attachment because they're making large amounts of grounded meat, but if you're only making it for a couple of people, it should be okay.

Thirding this. The kitchenaid is awesome. Cook's loved it.

I have an old Enterprise No 22 meat grinder that was my grandfather's and I ground up 5 lbs of deer trimmings to make some great burgers a couple weeks ago.

Didn't take long and was easy to turn as long as you don't cram it so much that the hopper is overflowing, even then it wasn't that bad.

I got this as a gift last Xmas and it's been amazing. Since then, we have not had to purchase sausage or ground beef.
However, we do utilize the hell out of our vacuum sealer.
Usually make about 10 lbs of whatever meat, then freeze and vacuum seal. They go hand in hand in my experience.

Did you add any fat? If so, what kind, how much, etc

Nope.

I was kind of worried about it being too dry and falling apart after it was cooked, but they stayed together just fine.

But to be fair, these were the fattiest and connective tissue filled trimmings off the deer.
