CMI Commercial Tilting Mixer Stainless Steel Manual Meat Mixers with Lid, 20Lb/10L Tilt Tank,(Mixing Maximum 15Lb for Meat),Sausage Mixer Machine Meat Processing Equipment

Perfect mixer for my venison pork sauage. perfect gear reduction. easy to use and clean.

Seems like a good product. We harvest several deer per season. I used it this past season mixing sausage as well as jerky/snack sticks. Makes doing large batches really easy. Other years we had to mix small batches by hand. Now im able to do large batches at the same time and can package pre seasoned amounts to be done at a later date as well.

This mixer works really well. I made 25lbs of sausage and snack sticks today. This is a Hakka brand not CMI which is fine with me. I hooked my cordless drill with a socket on the end and it made fast work of my mixing process. I am not sure why some are saying it will only hold 5lbs of meat as I had 12.5 lbs in it and it was just fine. I am very happy with the purchase of this mixer.

Great mixer. I found 15 pounds of meat is about perfect per batch. I used a cordless drill on low speed with a 5/8" 12 point socket and it worked great for running the mixer.

Item was dented and bent on the mixer and the lid. Was not damaged in transit as the box was in perfect condition. It was shipped this way. Very disappointing. Would have returned immediately but I needed it right away.

If you want to turn it with a cordless drill, you'll need a 6pt 11/16" socket.Turning by hand isn't bad, either. The tilt feature is kinda mid - easy to figure out the interlocks, but only of limited value in pulling mix out of the trough.It was easy enough to clean in my utility sink - fill it with hot water, let the mix cook, swipe the interior clean with a sponge, and rinse out.I think it was a ton easier than using a stand mixer in multiple batches. Dumped the ground pork and then the farce (pureed beef) and spice, plus jalapeno and cheddar for (surprise...) jalapeno cheddar sausage, a 10lb batch, and about forty cranks later, it was mixed, with good 'stick' to the mix (good protein extraction).I think I can use this for 15-20lbs batches easily. 10lbs is probably my mainstay, though.As others have noted, CMI is shipping 'Hakka Bros' equipment. This was $5 less expensive.

Box wasn’t damaged but the unit was. I’m not sure how the product was damaged since the box was not damaged it was packed well. I should get a reduction in the price since it was damaged if it works OK. I will update the use of the product later this week.

Seems to be well built.
