mine is a 12. will grind about 2 pounds a minute. that includes taking the stuff that wraps around the cutter off every once in a while. i never grind more than a hundred pounds and that only when grinding a bunch of deer meat. for me being able to grind up a hundred pounds in an hour is plenty fast enough. cleanup is easy. i take it apart and give the pieces to my wife but even when i cant get out of clean up its fast and easy except for the plates. i use a toothpick to poke meat out of the holes. that takes a couple minutes.

I've been running a Cabelas 1/2 horse for about 15 years. It does everything I've asked of it and makes short work of elk and deer that I usually process by myself.
That said, if buying a new one was on the table. I would go up two sizes. You don't need bigger to process anything and I wouldn't be afraid to tackle the neighbors cow with mine. But a bigger grinder means being able to throw bigger chunks down the throat. Bigger cubes down the throat means less knife work. That by itself would be worth an extra $100-200 in up front costs.

I run an LEM big bite #12 3/4 horse
LEM has been around a while and keeps stocking parts if you need plates or cutters ect.
perfect for deer grind deers worth of meat in 10 minutes or so
leaving senue on the meat it needs to get the knife cleaned out about every deer. unplug and it takes 2 minute , then ready to grind the next deer

Got the cheapo from Cabelas 20 years ago for I think it was around $100. Don't recall the name on it but I do anywhere from 5 to 10 deer per year with no issues.
Trash your goals and plans for life. Just wing it and you'll never be let down!

Danny I’ve taken a page from Scott Philips , run some bread through it when finished grinding . It will push all but the most stubborn pieces of meat out and the bread dissolves in water . It works
