 There's a trickNov 14, 2009
The first few times we used our sausage stuffer attachment, I wondered how anyone could give this a positive review. It honestly seemed tp stuff just as fast with the machine off, and the poorly-fitting plunger pushed huge amounts of air through the stuffer and into the sausage. Then I found the trick to getting it to work.
Getting air out of the system is the only way to get the feed screw to work. The easiest way to do this is to work a drinking straw up and down the feed chute while gently pressing on the plunger. You'll feel the plunger drop as air escapes. Once the air's out, the stuffer will actually stuff pretty well. Keep working the straw as you go.
The straw trick actually made this thing worth the $9. Without it, it's terrible.
It works... sorta.Oct 30, 2009
For the price it's not a bad way to get into making your own sausage if you're already using the KA meat grinder, but for stuffing sausages it's not great. It clogs very easy (yes I had it assembled correctly) and you have feed very small chunks of the sausage into the tube leading to the worm drive, if you just try to shove it down the tube with the tamper it clogs badly. If you drop little chunks down and push with moderate pressure it'll work smoothly but still very slow. Because of clogging problems it took me about 90 minutes to stuff a 5# batch of fennel sausage, but once I made friends with it the pace would be about 30 minutes for five pounds, which is still to slow IMO. I'll be dropping a little more money on a dedicated stuffer soon.
 Good and TimelyOct 05, 2009
Since I was unable to find the sausage maker in nearby stores, I went to Amazon. The price was right. I "let my fingers do the walking" and the delivery was very prompt. The merchandise arrived in the condition stated [new]. I would highly recommend this dealer for any transaction.

Too much time wasted, hard to workOct 03, 2009
I am a professional sausagemaker and a food scientist. I wanted to try to make sausage at home with my KitchenAid mixer and grinder attachment. It took 3 hrs to stuff 10 lb meat. It is worthless, time consuming, labor intensive. The plunger pulls back the meat you push in. The worm inside the grinder tube does not move efficently. And yes we did not attach the knife and plate. The tray needs to be larger, the grinding unit needs to be larger, the plunger needs to be straight. This is an awful design engineering. KitchenAid needs to replace their designer, too.
