Best budget meat grinder for home - Kitfort, REDMOND or Moulinex?

The optimal power for the home is at least 200 watts. This is enough for grinding vegetables and poultry, but the device may not be able to cope with sinewy beef. Powerful meat grinders from 1500 W are classified as professional appliances. They easily grind even large pieces and bones. It is important to understand that most of the time the equipment operates at rated power. If you set the maximum value, there is a risk of overheating. This mode is suitable for short-term grinding of cartilage, tendons and bones. The length of the wire is almost the same for all models, but Aksion pleasantly surprises - a one and a half meter cable is enough for comfortable placement in any kitchen.

In addition, it is worth paying attention to performance - the higher the indicator, the faster the device will cope with its task. According to this criterion, the Polaris and Axion models win. They give out the best performance in the ranking. However, for the home, the average speed of work is also enough - Kitfort and Mulineks show decent results when grinding different types of meat. Redmond is suitable for those who cook minced meat in small portions and can wait a bit.

All electric meat grinders are equipped with rubberized feet. Due to this, they are securely fixed on the smooth surface of the table and do not slip during grinding. But sometimes the legs can stick to the shelf in the closet. The tray of each device is made of plastic, and only in Polaris the case is partially made of metal. Only Mulinex has a self-sharpening knife. This meat grinder weighs more than analogues, but it is very compact. This option is suitable for owners of small studio apartments. But Axion turned out to be the heaviest and overall, although its depth is less than that of other models.

Kitfort wins in terms of design: the black and blue meat grinder looks spectacular, it will be nice to put it on a table or in a cabinet with transparent doors. It is interesting that Artemy Lebedev's studio participated in the development of the design. Thanks to symmetrical details and black and silver colors, REDMOND also looks good, but the rest of the devices are no different from most models on the market.

Caring for the devices is easy: Redmond, Mulinex and Polaris can even be washed in the dishwasher. The rest of the electric meat grinders will have to be cleaned without the help of household appliances, otherwise the parts may turn black and deteriorate. This is not very convenient, so the devices received lower marks in comparison with competitors.

Axion stands out as the best equipment in the ranking. Together with an electric meat grinder for the home, customers receive a complete set of accessories. Mulinex comes without a kebbe attachment, other models also lack some useful accessories. As for the pusher, it is included with all meat grinders. As well as nuts, warranty card and instructions.

Regardless of the chosen budget manufacturer, along with household appliances, buyers receive 2 graters and discs for chopping minced meat with a diameter of 5 and 7 mm. Axion generously supplements the kits with additional nozzles - 3 pieces instead of two. Thanks to the ergonomic design of the device with a special compartment, all accessories and the power cord can be easily placed. And the handles at the top of the case will allow you to quickly move the entire set to the right place.

Each of the meat grinders participating in the rating has a reverse function. This is the best solution for the home, because you can clean the unit completely safely. If there are too many products inside, just press the button and the reverse movement process will begin. Nothing will get stuck, won't wrap around the knives.

Only one model can replace an auger juicer and that is Axion. In addition, it has a special press for citrus fruits. The control is carried out using two red buttons - on and reverse. There is also a key for locking in order to quickly and correctly install all the necessary attachments.

Instructions are included with the goods, so management is unlikely to cause difficulties. In Kitfort, 2 mechanical buttons are used to turn on, turn off and activate the reverse. In terms of functionality, they duplicate each other and must switch at the same time, so the logic of this decision by manufacturers is a big question.

The control unit in Redmond is located on the left side of the device. There is only one switch with three positions: on, off, reverse. Mulinex and Polaris have exactly the same panel. This is a simple and convenient solution. The device will operate or be in the off state as long as the key is in the selected position.

Mulinex can be safely called the most reliable: the manufacturer promises at least 5 years of service.For other budget meat grinders, this period is more modest - an average of 2-3 years. The extended warranty is only provided by Polaris, other brands provide support and repairs for a maximum of 12 months.

Over-fatigue (overload) protection works on a simple principle: when the engine gets too hot, the device locks up and shuts down. Only after the motor has cooled down can it be restarted. This useful feature is not provided for all models, which is extremely imprudent on the part of manufacturers.

Yandex.Market users highly appreciated the quality of Kitfort grinding. The device quickly copes even with sinewy meat. Also, buyers like the compactness and stylish design of the electric meat grinder. It is easily placed in the kitchen and does not spoil the overall interior. Plastic is moderately durable and without specific odors. Even with prolonged use, the knives remain sharp and do not clog. But there is a drawback - over time, the metal oxidizes and begins to rust. Noise during operation is present, but not strong (compared to a coffee grinder and other household appliances).More than 1500 reviews about Kitfort were found on other resources, but most of them are on the official website of the manufacturer. Because of this, it is difficult to assess the objectivity of opinions.

Redmond is also popular on Yandex.Market. On sites with reviews, she is rarely mentioned, although the model is in the lead for queries in the Yandex.Wordstat service. Perhaps this is due to the minimum number of complaints and shortcomings. An electric meat grinder does its job well, and positive reviews appear on the Internet much less often than negative ones. Buyers praise the quick assembly and easy maintenance of the equipment. The disadvantages include increased noise, not the longest wire and the likelihood of overheating when grinding sinewy meat. You need to cut it into small pieces, the device may not cope with large ones.

As for Mulinex, she is more often praised than criticized. Buyers unanimously appreciated the speed of operation and safety of the device. The nozzles are successful, with them it is possible to grind the ingredients into pieces of the optimal size. Minced meat cooks quickly, the knives do not clog. It is necessary to carefully study the instructions and insert the knives correctly, otherwise there will be problems with the cores and films. The reviews warn that the meat grinder is quite noisy. Another disadvantage of the model was a short cord.

Polaris was also noted on Yandex.Market for high-quality grinding and safety. The reviews praise the electrical appliance for its solid metal case and sharp knives. It is convenient that gratings with different hole diameters can be installed. The reverse works great and is considered the best feature of this model. The goods are produced in Russia, so repair and replacement of parts will not cause difficulties.The meat grinder copes with minced meat perfectly, but it is not always possible to cut vegetables. Soft ingredients simply crumple, not crumble.

What do users write about the multifunctional Axion? Surprisingly, this model took second place in popularity. The reviews speak of thoughtful protection and excellent speed. The wire is long, the kit has all the necessary nozzles, and the device is assembled in a matter of minutes. The juicer also works great. But in the most important thing, the meat grinder loses to competitors: it does not cope too well with sinewy pieces of meat. Because of this, I had to reduce the final assessment of the product in the rating-comparison.

The winner of the comparison in terms of budget was definitely Kitfort, which costs a little more than 3,500 rubles. Redmond also pleasantly pleases those who like to save money, especially since there are often discounts and promotions on Yandex.Market for it. But Mulineks and Axion will cost more than 5000 rubles. Of course, this is due to the extended functionality and additional attachments in the kit, but some buyers simply do not need it. Polaris can be considered the golden mean - an inexpensive electric meat grinder for the home is cheaper than its counterparts, but is not inferior to them in quality and performance.

In comparison, the Redmond electric meat grinder deservedly won. She managed to become the best in several categories. The only criterion by which the model loses is power and performance. But the difference with the closest competitors is rather arbitrary, each device from the rating performs well in operation. In second place is Mulineks. This inexpensive meat grinder showed good results in all criteria, and the five-year warranty increased the confidence in the manufacturer many times over. For the home, you can safely buy household appliances, even taking into account the disadvantages noted in the reviews.

Polaris has the highest power and grinds kilograms of meat in minutes. This model has a two-year warranty from the manufacturer, average functionality and equipment. A universal option for those who rarely use an electric meat grinder and want to save money, but buy something of high quality.

Despite the extensive equipment and the presence of the juicer function, Axion took the last position in the ranking. Buyers rarely choose this product due to the high price for the budget segment, large dimensions and the impossibility of washing in the dishwasher. Kitfort also did not impress consumers: it is really inexpensive, compact and stylish, but the functionality and quality of work leave much to be desired.
