American Eagle Food Machinery® meat grinders are some of the best quality meat grinders we have seen, especially for the price. We like them... a lot! Like it's smaller sibling, the AE-G12N, the #22 has the same stainless steel construction so you get all of the benefits, but it packs even more power and can handle even more meat! The #22 is a taller and heavier machine and the grinder head is a #22 size, we recommend the machine over the #12 if you are using the vegetable processor accessory (AE-VS12NH) The machine is definitely geared more towards the food service industry in terms of its design. Everything is made of stainless steel so it's very shiny and attractive. It also means that it's easy to clean. When you pick up the grinder head, you can tell how hefty it is. It's even heavier than the #12 which is already very durable. A standard forward reverse switch is a nice touch, but in our testing, the meat grinder whipped through a ton of meat without any hesitation, so we doubt you will really ever need to use the reverse mode. We ground about 10 pounds of meat in less than a minute, so it's about twice as fast as the #12. This machine is very fast and it can easily handle even more than what American Eagle Food Machinery® specifies! It's an excellent upgrade if you need the additional processing capability and speed. We did not have any turkey or chicken with bone to test with, but the owner's manual states that the machine should be able to handle small bones. So even though it's a commercial restaurant grinder, all of you pet owners out there that make pet food or hunters will easily appreciate the power in this grinder! The grinder motor itself is very quiet. When we were using it, the motor made a low purring noise, even while we were feeding the meat through. It didn't appear to struggle at all. Lastly, although the manufacturer suggests exercising caution when putting the grinder head parts in the dishwasher, we decided to test the feeder pan, auger, grinder plates, knife, and grinder head in a dishwasher, and everything came out wonderfully, just like it did for the #12. We did not notice any rust spots forming or anything, but we did follow their suggestion to apply food grade silicone to the parts after washing. Is this worth the upgrade over the #12? It's about a 400 dollar difference on our website, but we highly suggest the upgrade if you are planning on processing more than just meat and are going to use the vegetable shredder accessory. The additional power and the extra inches in height allow for more clearance below the output chute of any accessory you plan to use without needing to place the motor on a stand or something else to raise the height. The AE-G22N is well worth the upgrade, but if you are on a budget, the AE-G12N can certainly serve your needs too. What's really great about this #22 grinder is that it's still designed with a #12 hub, so you can use the same accessories and attachments from both American Eagle Food Machinery® and other manufacturers who make standard #12 hub accessories. It's not as common to see a #22 meat grinder that still has a standard #12 hub.
