Features of STX 1800 MG

 

It has a maximum output of 1800 watts giving you a powerful grinding. With a guarantee of 3 years, you are sure to get more from this meat grinder.

This versatile machine proves to be useful than all the previous brands. The outstanding features of  STX 1800 MG are as follows:

 

12-Inches Cast Aluminum Grinding Head

12-Inches Cast Aluminum Grinding HeadIt comes with a size 12 grinding head that features a 2 1/8 inches aluminum meat pan with a hopper.

This large pan enables large pieces of meat to be fed to the grinding plates; thus, reducing the preparation process.

The grinding head is made of 100% aluminum, and it’s not coated like in other grinders.

The manufacturer advice users not to wash these components in a dishwasher; I found hot water and mild detergent very useful when cleaning them.

Ensure you dry these parts before placing them back in the grinder, I use a dry towel.

 

3 Steel Grinding Plates

3 Steel Grinding PlatesThis meat grinder features 3 steel grinding plates; fine, medium and coarse. The plates are 2 5/8 Inches to allow large output.

The large plate is used for coarse grinding, the medium plate with ¼-inch diameter holes can be used for sausage meat while the fine grinding plate with 5/32-inch diameter holes can be used to grind meat for soup.

To ensure the plates offer excellent performance, always coat them with food grade oil after drying them. This act also lengthens their life.

 

Excellent Cooling System

Excellent Cooling SystemMost people complain of grinders that overheat compromising the motor and the result is loud noise when grinding. I have used such a grinder before, and it was really stressing me.

However, the STX 1800 MG Electric Meat Grinder features an incredible cooling system to ensure the motor functions smoothly. The cooling system also eliminates any chances of noise when processing your meat.

With the 3000 watts motor and effective cooling, you will grind more and more meat without any pressure. It is perfect for people who love quite meat processing environments.

 

Three speeds

Three speedsThe STX 1800 MG comes with 3 speeds; High, Low, Reverse. You can determine if you want to grind your meat fast with the high speed or slow with the low speed.

Both the low and high speeds offer detailed grinding although, I have found the low speed great in producing high yields.

The reverse speed is mainly used to prevent the machine from jamming. This meat grinder also comes equipped with a circuit breaker that is meant for the safety of the machine and the user.

 

Tomato Juicer Attachments and Accessories

Tomato Juicer Attachments and AccessoriesThis meat grinder is very versatile. You probably have used meat grinders that allow you to grind vegetables, but you may not have used a grinder that can produce juice!

The STX 1800 MG features tomato juicer attachment so you can make some fresh juice for your family.

Additionally, it comes with 3 sausage tubes of different diameters; 3/4 Inches, 5/8 Inches, and 1/2 Inches.

Thus, you will be able to produce professional homemade sausages to enhance your diet.

  • Three speeds for effective grinding
  • Tomato juicer attachments
  • 12-inches grind head
  • Three grind plates

Cons

  • It is slightly heavyweight
  • The sausage attachments are made of plastic.

This meat grinder is great since it comes with different sausage attachments to ensure you produce great meals for the whole family.

Also, it has juicer attachments allowing you to produce fresh juice at home.

  1. I don’t see high and low speed on the STX 1800 Magnum. I see on/off, and reverse. Am I missing some instructions? I appreciate your review above, and the addition of using food grade oil to store the plates and extend their lifespan. Thank you. 🙂
