I've been wanting to get a grinder/stuffer for awhile. I received this as a Christmas gift from my brother this year. Actually, I received it on 12/19/20 and have already made the breakfast sausage and I'm currently grinding up deer meat with some pork and will smoke some deer summer sausage tomorrow. I love this thing. It's easy to use and easy to clean.

I bought this for my wife's birthday, she's so into canning, and preserving food and last week told me that she wanted to try Saugsage making, well this one was perfect. This one didn't arrived in a crate. But she loved it. I got this one and the one for the chicken and she was so happy. We will try them and I'll update the review.

I thought they were great. My guys enjoyed them. I had them wrapped in duct tape. Awesome, thank you

My Man Crate sausage experience was great. First timer here. The equipment works great. My challenges were how much seasoning per pound of protein (I used pork cushion). Bottom line...whatever you like. Test drive a little in the fry pan and adjust. The text support, Hailey, was great. She said 2-4 lbs of meat to the 4oz seasoning packet. I had 6-7 lbs of meat. I tasted and added some more salt but it was good for me as was and Haily said you can always add sauce when you break it out to grill. Solid idea! I wrestled the casing a bit. That was a unique experience. It worked out great and one of the packs in the crate held abour 12 lbs of sausage. We broke our links into 4-5 and vacuum sealed them. The twist and tie off part of the process needs practice on my end. It was a fun experience and i’m look Forward to playing with new recipes. Thanks family for the gift. Good stuff!

I have ordered five crates so far and have been happy with them all in there own right. I took a chance with the sausage maker but it sounded like a fun project.

I have a friend that gave me five pounds of deer meat so I gave it a try. Easy to use, easy to grind and pack the meat into the casings. Clean up was easy as well.

I used the merguez sausage blend this time around and the result from grilling was a tasty treat for my family.

Excited to use the maple apple sausage next go around on another kind of meat.

Thanks you man crates !

This was a “just because” surprise project box for my husband. The recipe booklet has super helpful hints for both first time sausage makers and the more experienced.

He really likes the suction cup on the grinder as it allows for much easier stuffing of the casements.

The two custom spice blends have just the right balance for delicious creations. He is looking forward to all of the food experiments.

On of the best kits yet.

The hubs whole face beamed when he saw this kit! Looked like a kid in the candy store as he ooh’d and ahh’d every item. I was terrified at the potential for a massive hurricane style mess but was pleasantly surprised at how little mess there was. The suction cup did it’s job beautifully and held the unit in place! I swear I heard some caveman grunts as he cranked away happily making sausage. He was more than happy with how easy it was to use and even happier with the construction quality and sturdy design. I however was happiest with the easy clean up! Thank you mancrates for another awesome gift!

This was a great gift idea for my son in law that had some deer meat to be made into sausage.
My complaint is that this kit DOES NOT COME IN A CRATE.
Kinda messes with the MAN CRATE theme. I think for this pricey kit it should include the crate.

Not worth the $. Came in a plain box with no label, no explanation on it saying it is a sausage making kit, my son in law pulled the few items out of the box and kind of figured out what it was for. The “grinder” looks pretty cheap, a few spices, a brush and a thin package of casings.

I got this for my fiancée as he has been mentioning he wants to make his own sausage. He got it and was thrilled. He planned and searched for the best sausage making meat and when he went to use it, it broke on him... it wouldn’t lock into position on the counter and then it snapped right in two. He said he wasn’t applying much pressure, just was using the tool to push the meat into the grinder, and had just noted that it was starting to catch and go thru easily and Snap! This was very disheartening as this is not a cheap gift and it broke on the first use. He only managed to grind about a quarter of the meat purchased and now we have to figure out what to do with the othe 4 lbs of meat. In short, the idea of it is great but the execution of it leaves something to be desired.

So disappointed. I knew it wasn't coming in a crate but the pic showed a nice corrugated box. It actually came in a shipping box with brown paper stuffing in it and the items haphazardly thrown inside so I have nothing nice to give without having to find a nice box or bag or something. Was recommended to Mancrates by my daughter but I’m truly disappointed.
