Best #5 and #8 Electric Meat Grinders Ranked

8 electric meat grinders with a #5 or #8 head.

Last updated: November 9, 2026

A #5 or #8 grinder fits on a kitchen counter and handles burger, sausage and pet food a few pounds at a time. These cost $125 to $400. The cheaper ones use aluminum heads that need hand washing, while the stainless models cost more and usually carry a longer warranty. If you plan to grind a whole deer each fall, a #12 will get through it faster for not much more money.
