Polaris Electric Meat Grinder PMG 2050
The Polaris PMG 2050 Meat Grinder Falls Short of Expectations
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently took a closer look at the Polaris PMG 2050 meat grinder, and let's just say it didn't impress me. This thing is ridiculously loud - 88-91 decibels on idle, which is way above the 85 decibel limit for household appliances. The motor's only rated for 250-300 watts, not 2000 watts like the label claims - that's a pretty big discrepancy. The gears inside are already showing signs of wear after just a few months of use, and I found some rust spots on the included accessories. The build quality's just not that great - it feels cheap and flimsy. Customer support's been pretty unhelpful, to be honest.
