The VEVOR 1A-EG112 is a countertop electric meat grinder with a 550W motor, built in stainless steel and sold with a sausage-stuffing kit. It is aimed at people who grind meat in volume, whether for home butchering, game processing or a small commercial kitchen, and who want to make sausages from the same machine.
What the motor and output figures mean
VEVOR rates the grinder at 0.75 HP (550W) with a pure copper motor, and says it can process about 11 lb of meat per minute and run continuously. Copper windings are typically chosen for efficient heat handling in motors. The 11 lb per minute figure is the brand's figure, and actual speed depends on the meat, how cold it is, how much gristle it contains and the plate you fit.
VEVOR also warns against letting the grinder idle for long, because that may damage the motor. Switch it off as soon as you've finished feeding meat through.
Head size and the cutting parts
The listing gives the head as a #12 mouth size, a common size class for grinders. Parts for that class are widely sold, but check compatibility before ordering replacements.
The cutting set is made of stainless steel, with blades in SUS420. VEVOR says they can handle beef, venison, chicken cartilage and frozen meat. In general, meat grinds most cleanly when it is well chilled, and very hard frozen blocks are better partly thawed. Follow the manual on what the machine should be fed.
What comes in the box
VEVOR lists the following:
- two cross blades (one already fitted in the grinder),
- one 4.5mm grinding plate,
- one sausage-stuffing plate,
- three sausage tubes with outer diameters of 0.47, 0.63 and 0.87 inches,
- a meat pounding stick (pusher),
- a cleaning brush,
- a head-locking handle.
A 4.5mm plate gives a fairly coarse grind, which suits burgers and sausage fillings. If you want a finer texture, you would need a plate with smaller holes, and the listing includes only the one.
Making sausages
The stuffing plate and three tubes turn the grinder into a basic sausage stuffer. The tube sizes run from roughly 12 mm to 22 mm, which would cover slim breakfast-style links up to thicker sausages, depending on the casings you buy. Casings are not listed in the box.
Cleaning and upkeep
The detachable parts come off for washing with water, and VEVOR says to let them dry thoroughly before storing. Stainless steel parts are generally easy to rinse, but carbon-steel-style blades can rust if stored wet, so drying matters. Check the manual on whether parts are dishwasher safe and how to oil moving surfaces.
Weight and certification
The listing gives the weight as 42.5 lb (about 19 kg), so this is a machine that stays on the counter or a workbench. The grinder is ETL listed, a North American safety certification mark. As with any mains-powered appliance, follow the manual and local electrical guidance.
Who it suits
It suits hunters processing game, people who buy meat in bulk, home cooks who make their own sausage, and small food businesses. The brand lists butcher shops, restaurants, hotels and food processing facilities as intended uses. For occasional small batches, a lighter manual or small electric grinder might do the job.
What to check before you buy
- Counter space and weight: at 42.5 lb it needs a sturdy surface and room to move around.
- Power: confirm your outlet suits a 550W machine.
- Grind size: one plate is included, so check whether you need others for a finer or coarser grind.
- Spare parts: confirm blades and plates in the #12 size are available.
- Cleaning routine: be ready to dry the parts fully after washing.
