Moulinex Meat Grinder Review - A Great Meat Grinder with One Major Flaw

I'm absolutely obsessed with making pierogies, so I use this meat grinder pretty frequently - it's become an indispensable helper in my kitchen. One thing I love about it is how easy it is to use, but unfortunately, it's also ridiculously loud.

I bought the Moulinex meat grinder from an online store, and I think it was around 384.37 BYN at the time. It's definitely in the middle price range. When it arrived, it came in a pretty big box - I'm still storing it in that box to this day.

It's a bit worn out, but you can still read the main information on it.

On the box, it says it's a 10-in-1 meat grinder, and they also show you all the attachments right there.

The manufacturer claims that we can repair it for up to 10 years.

I've already got the warranty, so if anything happens, I can get it repaired directly with the manufacturer. Fingers crossed I won't need to use this service anytime soon.

Both the box and the meat grinder itself have the model number on them.

And, of course, the power rating.

I checked the manual and found the information on where to get it repaired if needed. The meat grinder is made in France. I gave the manual and box a good once-over, but it's all clearly stated - 'Made in France'. Sometimes manufacturers like to print 'Made in Germany, Produced in China' just for kicks. The meat grinder looks pretty nice, all grey with a minimal number of buttons. It's made from high-quality, sturdy plastic.

I've got to say, the power cord is nice and long - I even wrap it up when I'm not using it.

You get five different types of food processing bowls, which is great - essentially, five different graters.

I find myself using the middle grater most often, just because it's in the middle - I've only used the others once or twice out of curiosity.

After a week of regular use and storage, the attachments haven't rusted at all.

The grater I use most often still feels sharp as a razor - no signs of wear or tear.

They're all standard size, almost identical, except for the holes.

Attaching the attachments is pretty straightforward - just push them in until they click. I do find it a bit annoying that they don't lock in place, but I guess that's just the design.

Setting up the veggie chopper was a breeze. You just press this button and rotate it in to place - it clicks in nicely. The same goes for attaching the meat grinder itself.

The veggie and fruit chute is where the magic happens. The material is good quality, but I did notice one time that it made this annoying, short screeching sound while it was working - like the plastic was rubbing against something. On the photo, it looks fine, but the screech was real. Maybe I just had it installed wrong.

Veggie and fruit chuteThe pusher is made of clear plastic and fits neatly into the veggie chute. Of course, it doesn't touch the blades when it's in use.

When it's all assembled, it looks like this.

I was hoping that nothing would splatter when I used it, but in reality, it looks like this.

Expectation vs RealityI have to admit, I was worried that the potatoes would go flying in all directions, but that's not really the case. It's not a meat grinder that sucks up the meat like a vacuum, so you do need to put in a bit of effort. But the thing is, it's so loud that it motivates me to finish the job faster!

I didn't get to use the kofta attachment on this meat grinder, but I did try it out on my previous one. To be honest, I'm not really sure who makes kofta or if it's even a thing, but hey, maybe it'll inspire someone!

Kofta AttachmentThe plastic attachments are decent, so no complaints there.

The sausage attachment, on the other hand, is a total game-changer. If you're into making homemade sausages, this is a lifesaver. Anyone who's ever struggled to stuff meat into casings will know exactly what I'm talking about.

Sausage AttachmentThe end result of using the attachments is pretty self-explanatory, if you ask me. I'm glad we finally got to the attachments that made me buy this meat grinder in the first place.

The meat grinder itself is made entirely of metal.

Meat GrinderThe thing is a bit heavy, but after using it for a while, nothing rusted or broke. It handled its job perfectly.Check out the knife grids.

Knife gridsYou can see from the photo how often I used each of these grids.

Knife gridsUnfortunately, this set is missing a grid like this one.

This is perfect for making ivan-tea or getting big chunks of meat.

The auger is massive and does its job beautifully.

Meat Auger The loading bowl is made of grey plastic and has a super convenient shape. If needed, you can even place small pieces of meat on the edge of the bowl, and it securely locks in place. Loading Bowl The meat pusher is a must-have for this job. I don't think you can realistically work with a meat grinder without it. Meat Pusher The meat grinder knife is pretty straightforward.

When assembled, it looks like this.

This time, I wasn't making pierogies, but rather a potato babka. So, I just attached the meat grinder to the potato and meat. The meat is ground perfectly. I don't force any bones in, but sometimes bits of connective tissue or skin get in the way, and it handles those just fine. It also does a decent job with chicken skin, although you do have to put in a bit more effort to get it to work properly. I've gotta say, the meat grinding performance is top-notch. I've been using the smallest grinding plate and the results have been spot on 100% of the time.

Of course, like any meat grinder, there's always going to be some meat residue left in the working chamber - in my case, it's been a mix of onion and chicken.

The meat grinder's knife does tend to accumulate some skin or fascia from the meat.

All in all, I'm really happy with it. It's a solid 5 out of 5 for performance, but it's also a solid 5 out of 5 for noise levels. Be warned, the noise can get pretty loud, so if you're watching videos, make sure to turn the volume down.

It wasn't always this loud, but it started making a racket after about two weeks of use and it's still going strong.

The results are amazing, no question about it.

Safety FeaturesMy Verdict

This meat grinder is a beast - it's super powerful and handles meat like a pro. The vegetable attachment, on the other hand, can be a bit of a pain to use. The noise it makes is absolutely ear-piercing and annoying, I just want to get the job done as quickly as possible. The accessory set is great, but I would've liked an extra grate. Made in France, that's a big plus in my book.

The build quality is top-notch, with a super easy assembly process and a minimal number of buttons to press. The plastic casing is solid, and there's even a storage compartment inside the grinder for some of the accessories.

The blade doesn't get clogged with skin and fascia too much, but overall, it's a great performer.

I'd still recommend this meat grinder, but I have to deduct a star for the ridiculously loud noise it makes. If it weren't for that, it'd be almost perfect.

I've got plenty of other useful reviews on other gadgets too.

Check out my review of this foot bath, it's a game-changer for people with foot pain!

I've been using this hair dryer for over 6 years now, and it's still going strong - it's a great and reliable product that's never let me down!

Well, that's it from me. I hope you found this review helpful in deciding whether or not to buy this meat grinder. I've really enjoyed using it, and I think it's a great value for money.
