Amazon.com Review
These two accessories, which may be used with all KitchenAid household stand mixers, turn many tough kitchen chores into walks in the park. The strainer, for example, converts cooked apples and pears into sauces for preserving or immediate consumption. Freezer jams are a snap; so is fresh tomato sauce. Baby foods can be made in quantity and frozen. The grinder is equally versatile--think chuck or turkey for fresh hamburgers; Parmesan for pasta or cheddar for quesadillas; peppers, onions, and tomatoes for salsa; apples for chunky sauce. The grinder has two plates, coarse and fine, the latter of which converts stale bread into crumbs in a jiffy. Both strainer and grinder assemble and disassemble quickly and easily without tools, and most parts are dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

 Best grinder and strainer out there February 20, 2008
Timothy J. Kropp (Washington DC)

Frankly, the thing is the best. First, because it attaches to a mixer it's strong. Second, the blade for the grinder is one of the best designs made (even better than some of the professional hobart models according to a Chef friend). There are some quibbles: 1) the tray is small 2) the neck for stuffing is narrow and can take a bit to get the hang of how to tamp down effeciently, especially when grinding meat. Furthermore, the strainer is perfect for applebutter making since you need to leave the peels in for the pectin and take them out when done. This way there is no fussing with cheese cloth bags,...etc. It's as easy to make as applesauce (I leave the skins and seeds in for that, too and it's much better).
Some other reviewers don't like the current handle but let me tell you why I think it's better than the alternative. The old wooden one had a bigger problem with suction (pulling food back out of the grinder screw when you pulled up for some foods) as would any one with a solid as opposed to a cross design. And this way you have a handy way of losening the threaded cap (a real chore when your hands are all messy).
Take away: If you are interested in making applesauce, applebutter, sausage, or just about any infant food, this is the device to get.

The Fruit & Vegetable Strainer saves hours of time when making fresh tomato sauce! We used to use a folley food mill for straining our cooked, home grown tomatoes, now its for sale on ebay... the KitchenAid Fruit & Vegetable Strainer is easy to use and in minutes we have fresh tomato sauce for pasta.
Review of Kitchen Aide attachment December 7, 2007

I received the Kitchen Aide vegetable/fruit strainer attachment in record time and used it the next day to make some apple sauce. It worked well but had a little trouble getting it together the first time. I did have to run the apple sauce through it several times to extract all the apple pulp but had to do same with my manual extractor and this was much easier and faster. Works good--glad I bought it and the price at Amazon was great with the free shipping and excellent service.
Grind Your Own! November 25, 2007

This is a great addition to your mixer. Good quality and easy to clean up. The only reason it did not get a full 5 stars is the fact that they seem to have made the product hopper (where you put your items to be ground) undersized on purpose (in order to sell the upsized hopper for an additional dollar amount, no doubt). That and the picture is wrong, you don't get a seperate masher, you use the back side of the spanner wrench.
Splurge on this item and grind your own applesauce and ground meats (then you know who/where/how they were made).
For a great ground beef try equal parts chuck and sirloin with a good pinch of salt and pepper, grind it twice for a consistancy that makes the best burger or meatloaf ever.
