How the Five Compare on the Numbers
The five grinders on this shortlist publish very different power figures. The Weston states a 750 watt, 1 HP motor with no maximum output listed. The Sinyder states a 3000 watt maximum and a 700 watt rated figure. The AAOBOSI states a 3000 watt maximum and 350 watts rated. The CHEFFANO states a 2500 watt maximum and 300 watts rated. The CHEFFANO Life states a 2000 watt maximum and 350 watts rated. The Huanyu states 2000 watts with no rated figure. The RVGMBO states 3500 watts and 5000 RPM.
Weight separates them just as clearly. The CHEFFANO is the smallest of the five at 6.0 pounds. The CHEFFANO Life is 8.3 pounds, the Sinyder 8.73 pounds, the AAOBOSI 9.46 pounds, the Huanyu 13.23 pounds and the Weston 13.5 pounds. The AAOBOSI is the largest of the five at 10.1 inches wide, and the Huanyu is the largest at 13.58 inches tall. The CHEFFANO is the smallest at 5.6 inches wide.
The table does not tell you how any of these grinders performs. No one at Lush has used them. It does not tell you noise, duty cycle, or how finely each plate actually cuts. It also does not tell you the material of the auger, which no maker publishes. Treat the wattage figures as claims from the manufacturer, not as measured output.
Power Figures and What They Describe
Rated watts compared with maximum watts
The Sinyder publishes the clearest split, a 3000 watt maximum and a 700 watt rated figure. The AAOBOSI publishes a 3000 watt maximum and 350 watts rated. The CHEFFANO publishes a 2500 watt maximum and 300 watts rated. The CHEFFANO Life publishes a 2000 watt maximum and 350 watts rated. A rated figure is the one a motor can hold continuously, while a maximum figure is a short peak.
The Weston takes a different approach and publishes a single 750 watt, 1 HP figure with no maximum. The Huanyu publishes 2000 watts with no rated figure. The RVGMBO publishes 3500 watts and 5000 RPM with no rated figure. Where a maker states only one number, there is no way to know whether it is a peak or a continuous rating.
Speed control and reverse
The Huanyu publishes six speed presets on a touchscreen plus one-touch reverse. The AAOBOSI publishes three settings labeled Meat, Sausage and Reverse. The Weston publishes two speeds, a slow first speed for stuffing and a fast speed for grinding, plus a reverse function. These three offer the most published control.
The Sinyder, CHEFFANO and CHEFFANO Life publish a single on and off control with a reverse button. The RVGMBO does not publish a reverse function at all. For a reader who wants to change texture without changing plates, the Huanyu and AAOBOSI publish the most settings.
Accessories, Cleaning and Footprint
What comes in the box
The Huanyu publishes the longest accessory list: three meat plates at 4mm, 7mm and a fan shape, three sausage tubes at 14mm, 20mm and 22mm, a kubbe kit and interchangeable blades. The CHEFFANO publishes three plates at 3mm, 5mm and 7mm, two blades, a sausage tube and a kubbe kit. The CHEFFANO Life publishes three shredder slicer blades, two cutting blades, three plates, a sausage tube, a kubbe kit, two meat claws and a burger press.
The Sinyder publishes two plates at 5mm and 7mm, a fan plate, two blades, a food pusher, a kubbe set and three sausage tubes. The AAOBOSI publishes two blades, three plates, a sausage and kibbe attachment and built-in storage. The Weston publishes a sausage stuffing funnel and a stuffing spacer but no plate sizes.
Cleaning and countertop space
The RVGMBO, Huanyu, Sinyder and AAOBOSI state that blades and plates are dishwasher safe. The RVGMBO adds that aluminum parts and the food pusher should be hand washed. The CHEFFANO and CHEFFANO Life state hand washing only and ask that parts not go in a dishwasher. That is a real difference for anyone who grinds often.
Footprint varies widely. The AAOBOSI is the largest of the five at 10.1 inches wide and 17.0 inches deep. The Huanyu is the largest at 13.58 inches tall. The CHEFFANO is the smallest at 5.6 inches wide and 6.0 pounds. The Sinyder is the smallest at 10.98 inches deep. The Weston is 10.0 inches wide, 15.0 inches deep and 10.0 inches tall.
Which One Fits Your Kitchen
Buyer who wants the highest published wattage. The RVGMBO publishes a 3500 watt motor and 5000 RPM, the highest figures on the sheet. It is 6.88 pounds and includes three blades and three plates. It publishes a one-year warranty, the only stated warranty among the five.
Buyer who wants a single published power figure. The Weston publishes a 750 watt, 1 HP motor with no maximum. It is the largest of the five at 13.5 pounds and includes a sausage stuffing funnel and spacer. It publishes two speeds and a reverse function.
Buyer who wants speed presets. The Huanyu publishes six speed presets on a touchscreen and one-touch reverse. It is the largest of the five at 13.58 inches tall and 13.23 pounds. It includes three plates, three sausage tubes, a kubbe kit and an ice-shaving blade.
Buyer who wants built-in storage. The AAOBOSI publishes built-in storage for its two blades, three plates and sausage and kibbe attachment. It is the largest of the five at 10.1 inches wide and 17.0 inches deep, and it publishes a 3000 watt maximum with 350 watts rated.
Buyer who wants the smallest of the five. The CHEFFANO is the smallest at 6.0 pounds and 5.6 inches wide. It publishes a 300 watt rated motor with a 2500 watt maximum and includes three plates at 3mm, 5mm and 7mm. Its parts are hand wash only.
What We Could Not Verify
Several figures a buyer would want are not published by any of these makers. We looked for each of the following and could not source it.
- No maker publishes a decibel rating for any of the five grinders.
- No maker publishes a duty cycle or a continuous run time for the motor.
- No maker publishes the material of the auger.
- No maker publishes the power cord length.
- No maker publishes a warranty term except the RVGMBO at one year.
- No maker publishes a grind rate in pounds per minute except the Weston at 4 to 5 pounds, the Sinyder at 5 pounds and the AAOBOSI at 4 pounds.
