This thing is amazing. It's a little hard to squeeze the ground meat mixture out of it if you use the nozzles that are flat, but the round nozzles work great. They make the perfect size meat stick. One of them makes a small meat stick and one makes a large meat stick. You would be amazed at how many little meats sticks you can make out of 2 1/2 pounds of ground beef. I am going to use this a lot. I love being able to make my own meat sticks with my blend of meat and it is a lot cheaper than the ones you buy in the store that are full of preservatives. I recommend you get one you won't regret it! It is very easy to take apart and clean comes with two brushes so you can get the nozzles and the tube cleaned really well and it is really easy to put back together. There was a little hard for me to squeeze because my hands are kind of small, but if you use both hands, it works great!
