Sausage as far as the eye could see!,
March 16, 2009
By huntyoudownfrom Battle Creek, NE
"Between my hunting buddies and myself, we processed 13 deer through this sausage maker this past winter. The first one was just easy as the 13th one! Durable, lightweight and easy to use (good thing for us non-techie types). Highly recommended!"

"For anyone who is into making their own home made sausage, you can't beat the price on this stuffer. In a matter of 5-10 minutes it will fill enough casings for 5 lbs. of home made sausage. A little bit of effort to clean, but well worth the price and effort for that good old home made taste of fresh sausage. Looking forward to useing it again this season."

sausage stuffer,

By venisoneaterfrom Oak Brook, IL
"I am very happy with this product, I used it to make 3 deer into sausage this year. Easy to use and easy to clean. It is solidly built and I am confident it will last for many years. My only problem is that many friends will borrow it and I may lose it and have to buy another one"

Can't wait until it's ready!
"This stuffer is great for the part time / small time amateur sausage stuffer. Last year was m first year of making my own sausage, ( I'd helped others in the past) . We used my KitchenAid Mixer sausage stuffer attachment and it was a disaster. The KitchenAid attachment is practically worthless, you literally have to force the meat through it, my back was killing me after 3 hours of ramming meat into it, and I'm in decent physical shape.
This year, based on reviews here, I bought this unit and stuffing went 1000% better! Fast and effortless stuffing. We stuffed 30lbs of sopressata in under 90 enjoyable minutes on the stuffer crank (check out my picture). Very effective and highly recommended! With the O-ring on the piston there is no blow-by. Also the unit can be easily disassembled and put in the dishwaher to assure you get it sanitary for next time.. The pot & base are stainless and the Frame & handle are chrome plated.
About the nylon gears..... First, I could see a careless ox stripping them by bottoming out the plunger. With the least bit of caution this can be avoided, or if you want, you could put a collar/stopper/indicator on the shaft to prevent it.
Second, spare gears are readily available from Northern, in fact I just ordered a set to have as spares and the delivered price was under $14. The gears are easily replaced by unbolting the base and removing the threaded shaft. Other parts are available too."

First time use,
January 24, 2009
By Anonymous Reviewerfrom West Michigan
"I used my sausage stuffer for the first time this morning. I had no difficulty with getting it apart to wash prior to use. It went back togather like a breeze after I loaded it with turkey sausage that I ground 2 days ago. I like the feature of the tube holding the meat comming out when the plunger is retracted in the upper most position. I started the initial cleaning of the plunger while it was on the machine and found that it unscrews for cleaning, a nice feature. Initially I was concerned about the weld transitions in the cylinder and wheather they would seal when the plunger went by them, which turned out to be a non-issue since no sausage leaked by the plunger. Operation was very easy an took only about two pounds of force on the crank. Since I like sausage that I can coil rather than pinch into links, I used casings that would hold only about 2.5 pounds. Even with my short sausage lengths I was able to stuff 27# in 35 minutes. A lot of my time was used threading on hog casings. I would attach a couple of images but all of mine are larger than NT&E can upload."

5lb Sausage stuffer,
December 9, 2008
By FatFrankfrom Oroville, CA
"I have had my sausage stuffer for approximately two years. It was a great asset to my meat processing projects. I used it to teach 4-h kids to make sausages. Unfortuantely it appears the hard nylon gears are wearing out and need replacing. So hopefully I can find the replacement parts with Northern Tool and get more years from this wonderful stuffer."

Great Affordable Sausage Stuffer,
November 21, 2008
By MoRabbitsfrom Missouri
"This stuffer works great. I love hot dogs, but not the ingredients, so I make my own with good meat. I also use it for rabbit sausage links, brats and such. You can't find a sausage stuffer that works as well as this one for less money anywhere, believe me I tried."

Don't stuff sausage without it,
November 17, 2008
By BigBoySrfrom Western Montana
"We have been stuffing sausage with our meat grinder....it works, kind of. If you haven't ever used a sausage stuffer do yourself a favor, buy this one to start out. Not only is it cheaper at Northern Tool, it in many ways is better than my buddies professional unit (but smaller).
It is easy to set up, use and clean. It is great for small batches, like when you are experimenting with seasonings or processing a single deer.
Down side???? Only time will tell if it holds up. It sure is nice that Northern Tool charges about half of what other retails do for what looks like the exact same unit. Thanks Northern Tool; I will be telling all my friends."

frustrated,
May 27, 2008
By chef12538from New York state
"The first few times I used the stuffer I was very happy; but at the 5th or 6th use the plastic gears started to skip. By the time I was done with the batch most of the teeth on the drive gear were gone, This would be a great product if the gears were made of metal and had a tighter fit. The gears can not be replaced as the unit is welded together."

5 lb Sausage Stuffer,
April 21, 2008
By barras60from Missouri City, Tx
"Excellent Product. I'm from Louisana, state known for Boudin. My family gets together 2 times a year and have a Boudin making party. We used to use an old fashon sausage stuffer which took hours and hours to process. Now with this new product, we have time to finish up and have a BBQ. Works much faster than the old type stuffers that pumped mostly air into the casings. Thank you Northern Tool. Products like these aren't always available to the public. I'm glad I found your website, and store."

Great results!,
April 20, 2008
By doug2559from Kenyon, Rhode Island
"I used the sausage stuffer to make soupie, Italain sausage. We stuffed 150lbs with no problems. The unit does require some oiling during the process. Olive oil works well but food service companies sell lubricants also. Although metal gears and a larger cylinder are better, this unit performed well and fit my budget."

5 lb. sausage stuffer,
April 14, 2008
By lagunafrom laguna Niguel, CA
"I and a few friends make Polish sausage (Kielbasa) for our families over the Christmas and Easter holidays. Prior to buying the 5lb. stuffer we did the stuffing using a mixer attachment which was slow and tiring. Especially slow when making 30 to 40 lbs. of sausage. The stuffer has made the task a breeze-- it is quick and easy, so much so that we cut the stuffing time by 2/3rds. A great machine for our purpose- efficient, easy to operate, and clean. All at a great price."

"It's just the right size for my needs. I'm a deer hunter and just getting into making venison sausage. I used it for the first time last week and it worked just great. It comes apart easily to make cleanup a piece of cake. For someone like me, making small patches of sausage at a time, I would highly recommend this stuffer."

good for Chorizo,
January 23, 2008
By ElReyfrom Richmond , VA
"This is verry helpful i like to make Mexican Chorizo, since is not easy to find good kind so i decided to make mi own. this tool worked good because it seals well and does not let the juices get out and it has good presure to pump it into the colagen cassing i use that is not as soft like the hogg cassings. I will recomend it to any type of sausage not just Chorizo And the plastic part seems to be a verry hard plastic so far i had it for over 6 mo and no problems"

By hlndeerhunterfrom Anacoco, LA.
"This is a great little unit for stuffing sausage and boudan I make about 100 lbs of sausage a year for home use also about 1000 lbs of boudan for home use and for sell. This little press has been very valuable to me on making my job much easier. Clean up is easy with hot water and soap. I just got through making 18 lbs of summer sauage and 20 lbs of smoke link sausage in the last 2 days. Best deal on the web at the price. I have used it for the last two years without any problem at all."

Great stuffer,
October 29, 2007
By BigDaddyJackfrom Dallas, TX
"Have been making sausage for several years, usually small quantities. Decided to do 40 lbs of venison and bought this stuffer. Since I don't make large quantities very often, but didn't want to wear out my arm with the push type, I decided to use a hand crank type and speed up the process. The push type worked OK, but I wish I had bought this years ago. So easy!!! Assembly instructions were accurate. Have made several hundred pounds without any problems. Great price (I also got it when it when on sale)! I checked several of the big sausage house wholesalers and this was a real bargain."
