I am looking to buy a good meat grinder but do not want to spend more than $150. What do you guys recommend? I have an attachment on my kitchen aid but I would like to buy something that works better.

thanks

I have the same one as Kurt. It's about 3 years old and has seen a boat load of meat. Still going strong.
If you've got $150 for a budget, save up another $30 and get a stuffer from Grizzly to go with your grinder.

Great, I will order on tonight. I ordered a LEM 5# stuffer yesterday for $143, did I waste my money on the LEM?

The main difference, between the LEM and the Grizzly, are the gears Metal vs Nylon. From what I understand, the nylon are just as good if you stop cranking when it bottoms out.
My next stuffer will be a Dakota Water Stuffer. My reasoning is, that I make my sausage by myself and that crank gets old after about 25# of sausage.
