After making sausage and using my heavy duty grinder to stuff casings for years, I finally bought a sausage stuffer. I had several questions before it arrived: Is the 15 lb size right, can I clamp it or attach it to my table, is it hard to clean, is it smooth to use...? First, for 80 lbs of sausage, the 15 lb hopper is fine. It loads easily, cranks smoothly and there are filler horns for just about every application. Second, this thing is SOLID. It was surprisingly heavy, with absolutely no need to secure it to the table. It's very easy to clean and every nook and cranny is accessible. My sausage mix is pretty tight (dry) and this stuffer had no trouble at all and no blow out around the piston. Great stuffer for any money.
