I used this thing to make some breakfast links as soon as it was delivered. I am well pleased with the construction, it's sturdy without being extremely heavy. My only gripe is the little suction feet that came with it comes out of place too easily, but it overall this stuffer is flawless. I was looking at purchasing the 10lb Big Bite Stuffer from LEM, but then I came across this one for the price and gave it a try. I am glad I did buy this one instead of forking over in excess of $400 for the other brand with the identical construction. The level of quality construction for the price can't be beat, in addition the unit delivered came with 5 different stuffing tubes of various sizes. If you looking a good stuffer, you will not be disappointed in this unit.
