This product though moderately priced has a very rough inside the horn finish so rough in fact that it hinders the rubber seal as you force your product through. Meat adheres to the walls and crevices do to the casting method used to produce this product.( I did as requested by MFGR added a food grade lubricant and water to help with getting the meat through the horn and tubes ) but product still remained in the stuffing horn making it hard to clean .

I bought this product for my mother and it is a complete waste of my hard earned money. She said that it's super heavy and since she's quite a petite person, she needed assistance in lifting it placing it on the table. After putting all the parts in place, she was not able to use it at all. She said that no matter how hard she tried to push the lever down, even after adding water to the filling, the plunger would not budge at all. Since she already threw out the box, she's stuck with this big lump of a space filler. I'm so mad at her for throwing out the shipping package.
