Hakka 7Lb/3L Sausage Stuffers and Vertical Sausage Makers

This is the right tool to get the job done. Stuffing 17mm casings was too difficult for the meat grinder to handle, tried a jerky gun (1 lb capacity), which worked, but was too difficult on my hands and a big hassle. The solution was to purchase this stuffer and a 8mm horn (size 5). I was able to stuff 35 lbs into 17mm casings in roughly 1-1/2 hours. That is a bunch of meat sticks!Easy to assemble and easy to clean. Loading was easy using the tilt load feature. Gears mesh well and was overall fairly easy to use even with the very restricted 8mm horn. I imagine stuffing brats or summer sausage would be a breeze with this machine and it's 7 lb capacity. Perfect size for my intent. Well made, robust product that simply works exactly as advertised.As mentioned by others, you will have about 1/4 lb of ground meat left in the bottom that will not be stuffed. Fry it up and enjoy a sample of your labor while the stuffed sausage is being smoked or dehydrated.

it's a quality-built stuffer, my only complaint would be that it doesn't come with the 3/8 (10mm) stuffing tube and it's an additional 17 bucks from Amazon. you have to have the small tube for snack sticks, otherwise it's a great stuffer. the included horns are stainless, and long so they allow for plenty of casing to be loaded on them and are easy to clean.

Seems very well built and of excellent quality. My only fault is that I wish it came with the smaller stuffing tubes. The smallest is 16mm and I had a very tough time fitting the 17mm collagen casing on it, even with a little olive oil. Apart from that it works great. Night and day difference between a dedicated stuffer and a grinder that can stuff sausage. Far less effort and if you’re making a lot it’s a good deal. The only other complaint is that a couple days after I got mine the price went down $27.

I would have given it 5 stars but the 4 rubber feet did not fit the holes provided to insert the feet, so I had to buy a 3/8" Diameter drill bit so the would fit. This was quite annoying, and their customer service requested a photo, which I was unable to upload on their message, however as you can see the photo uploaded on Amazon feedback just fine.

If you are doing more than a few sausages at home, you need this machine. My girlfriend has started making sausages which she was stuffing by hand. (Don't ask). I bought the sausage stuffing attachment for my KitchenAid mixer which was a boon. But that attachment is not meant to do any any appreciable quantity really. I'm a big guy and I do labor work but trying to do any more than 5 pounds of meat with that attachment is taxing.So I started looking and found the Hakka. I set the machine up for her and she did 10 pounds of sausages by herself. Together, we're doing 20 pounds at a time now.The machine is very easy to set up because it comes assembled. Just a few pieces to screw on and you're ready to go.There are two speeds, but I only use the low speed gear. The barrel just isn't so tall that it needs a high speed gear in my opinion. Plus, the 3 pound capacity means you aren't having to reload every 3 seconds anyway.The parts that come into contact with the meat all disassemble completely for easy cleaning.I'm trying to play the devil's advocate and come up with a con to the machine but there are none. Everything from the easy setup to usage to cleaning is awesome.Very highly recommended!

15 pounds through the stuffer so far. Very impressed, quality is far better than I expected. Easy to clean, stainless seems high quality, and very sturdy. One of my better Amazon purchases for sure.

This is my first vertical stuffer, and it's an amazing product. Once it's clamped down, you can turn out pounds upon pounds of sausage. The gear action is extremely smooth and easily controllable by hand. It's a high quality product with excellent materials and build quality, and even the welds are nice and clean. We would definitely purchase again.

Works great ,very durable , easy to clean
