This is a Hakka, model FME20. I intentionally avoided Hakka, because reviews say it's hard to clean, but here we are. As you can see in the photo, it mixes 10kg with room to spare. Can probably do 15 or so. It's easy to crank, which is good because your arm will still get tired. And as you can see, it does a great job and keeps the meat very cold.Cleaning. Cleaning this is, by far, my least favorite part of sausage making. Having said that, I don't know what they could change to make it easier. The wing nuts are a bit of a pain, but other than that I don't know how you could make it easier. It is what it is. I like itCleaning. Cleaning this is probably my

Seems like a good product. We harvest several deer per season. I used it this past season mixing sausage as well as jerky/snack sticks. Makes doing large batches really easy. Other years we had to mix small batches by hand. Now im able to do large batches at the same time and can package pre seasoned amounts to be done at a later date as well.

Great mixer. I found 15 pounds of meat is about perfect per batch. I used a cordless drill on low speed with a 5/8" 12 point socket and it worked great for running the mixer.

Works very good just does not hold the full amount of meat that’s advertised in the item title and description good price and quality

I love this thing. I bought this one because it had a 40 lbs compacity and all my recipes are around 30 lbs. The gearing is awesome. very little effort is needed to turn the crank to mix your meat and it break down easy for clean up.

Loced the mixer definitely better than mixing by hand. Only reason for 4 stars is at 25 lbs in the mixer it was full and did not mix as well as 20 lbs. Would recommend

I make jerky. I bought this to mix meat products, not dough. All comments regarding use apply only to meat products. 1) if you plan to mix GROUND meats with this, you are out of luck. The tolerances are not close enough to allow it to consistently push the meat around and fully mix it. A floor mixer or counter mixer such as a Kitchenaid works better. 2) if you plan to mix strips, this works okay, but it will tear up your strips a bit as they catch on the rails. Other mixers, particularly tumblers, work better for strips. 3) cleaning and assembly: those edges are SHARP and you will break skin, even with thicker shop nitriles so either sterilize with spray after or use really thick gloves. FINAL VERDICT: If you're making jerky I'd get something different.

Perfect mixer for my venison pork sauage. perfect gear reduction. easy to use and clean.
