I like my own burger patties, but I don't dislike the store ground ones either. There is a difference. I don't find it huge enough to resort to only grinding my own meat. It is an option that I like to have.

My next purchase is going to be a meat slicer, so I can get even slices for my homemade jerky. That's probably more useful for me than the grinder. The grinder comes out only once a month or so. I could probably eat a pound of homemade jerky a week (which is like 3 pounds of fresh meat that needs to be sliced and dried).

I've had my Osterizer package deal for 33 years and it still works great. Blender, salad slicer/grater, mixer w bowls, grinder w 4 different fineness discs. I used to do my own hamburger all the time, but lately I've been too lazy and my butcher is great, he'll get any cut I want and grind up anything I like. Fresh ground is much safer as any salmonella is only on the outside of the meat. Many grocery stores get their ground meats from a main supplier with animals from all over mixed together and continually reground and added to. That is why it is so hard to find the trail for an outbreak of infected raw hamburger. More 'bugs' mixed in and breeding
