Bass Pro Meat Grinder

[Koenig]

I am currently out in Orlando with the mini Koening’s and Mrs K.

I am in the market for an electric meat mincer (called a grinder here) and find UK prices to be approx £200/50 ish.

With the exchange rate as it is and if I can slip it into the case past the various new trainers and other Disney crap the Bass Pro offering works out at approx £100 - a substantial saving…..but.

1. Has anyone on SD ever actually used one?

2. Is it any good? It’ll be used about once a month for smaller species and the odd Fallow.

3. Will it work on UK voltage? I lived in the US for a while and all the electronics I brought back have worked OK with the correct adapter, but that’s mostly stuff like iPads - not miners/grinders.

Views?

I am far from and expert but I'd check out the voltage if it is mains powered, I suspect that will work from 120V, your house will be 240V, again, I suspect.

look at
Bringing goods into the UK for personal use

to make sure you do not get stung by VAT or import duty.

Also what is the weight? excess baggage is not cheap, Warranty? covered even when taken to UK?

Not worth the aggro for £100. These meat grinders weight a tonne. It is highly unlikely it will work on 230v mains we have so you will need a beefy transformer. I'd say no meaningful savings to be bad.

Just looked at doing the same thing. I returned with a rotary tumbler from Bass Pro for next to no money.
To operate a grinder, you’ll likely need a beefy power converter at around £75/100 on Amazon.
