Product Description
Use these lightweight plastic tubes to stuff your home-ground meats into natural casings for hand-made sausages. The small tube shoots out breakfast-sausage-size links; the larger one is great for boudin blanc, Italian sausage, and more. Each works in conjunction with KitchenAid's food grinder attachment, and the set comes with instructions for handling and stuffing casings.

Plunger is too loose to push sausage mix October 13, 2008
Michael Fisher (Iowa)
The diameter of the plunger for pushing sausage down into the auger is too small. If the sausage mix is moist enough to stuff into casings, it is too moist to remain below the plunger. As you push down, sausage mix oozes around the plunger into the chamber above the bottom of the plunger. This really slows down the stuffing process and results in air entering the auger and your casing. You can eliminate most of the backflow if the sausage mix drier, but this increases the load on the motor and does not significantly speed up the process. The sausage stuffer kit needs its own plunger, one that seals to the inside of the chamber and allows you to push a moist sausage mix without backflow.
 terrible attachment - don't waste your money - it STINKS! September 25, 2008
L. Miller (California)
As others have noted - you will experience unacceptable difficulties in three areas:
1) Unimaginably slow feeding/extruding of the raw sausage mixture
2) Excessive amounts of air entering grinder chamber and eventually blowing up your casings like a balloon
3) The plunger end of the handle tool is too narrow and much of the meat mixture just oozes out of the chamber instead of getting rammed down.
Note that these are issues with the design of the grinder assembly in terms of its ability to handle sausage meat. The sausage feed tubes are just ordinary, plastic, tapered tubes.
Look elsewhere to stuff sausage - I'm going to purchase a standalone electric stuffer.
 great product for home use September 10, 2008
Mr. Sj Carter
The tube is short, only allowing about 3 feet of casing on it, which is fine for home use. If you are wanting to make a large quantity of sausage in one go this may not be the device for you, but it is perfect for family use.
Sausage Stuffer August 27, 2008

The product works as expected, however I would not reccomend it for commercial use as it's a very time comsuming process.
Worthless Attachment for kitchenaid mixer August 15, 2008
Ambre Ploeger (Arizona, USA)
I have always like my kichenaid products. This stuffer is worthless. This was not my first time making sausage, and Ithough why not save some time and actually by a stuffer rather than use a funnel. I thought I would be saving time and effort, but boy was that wrong! I found it faster to stuff by hand (which I hate to do). It was impossible to control air entering into the stuffer and control the meat moving consistantly into the casing without getting too warm for food safety. I am going to buy a hand stuffer (maybe the Grizzly or a cabella's upright). It cracked the first time I used it, which it should not have done with the minimal amount of pressure put on it. I bought this at a store that is over 90 miles away so I will not be returning it. Until this point I had loved every attachemnet I had for my mixer, though my overall favorite is still the meat grinder. For that to work so well, why is the sausage stuffer soo pitifully bad.
