For the money this is a beast. Whole pheasants, rabbits, chickens for raw pet food no problem ,bones n all . Very impressive ?The only downside ( if it is) the whole machine strips for cleaning very easy except the feed shoot / drive casing . It_ held in by 6 small bolts which really need to be removed to clean thoroughly. Not a massive deal if your using once a week but if you needed daily use might become frustrating. I would definitely buy another.
