Davis & Waddell DHM0006

Not bad at all for the price – Pros: Sausage making is a breeze. Before buying it I've tried using a funnel, it's night and day, by all means use a machine. For best results you need to do it slowly and steadily, so your sausages are regularly calibrated and you have very little left over meat in the pipe. At first the suction base seemed useless, but once I moistened the base and pushed on it while turning the lever, the suction was actually perfect. Price is excellent: $24 at Victoria Basement

Cons: A bit fiddly to clean properly, hand wash only. Made from aluminum (would prefer stainless steel). The crank handle is longer than the machine is high, so you need to put it on the edge of the table to be able to turn the handle.
