2,900 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other vacuum sealers, built-in and countertop dishwashers, food slicers, meat and grain grinders, spice mills and kitchen prep appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At $46.99 the SM-G35 is positioned as an entry-level grinder, but nearly 2,900 reviews at 4.4 stars is a feedback base that most mid-range appliances never reach. That kind of volume means the rating reflects real-world use across a wide range of buyers, not just enthusiasts who sought the product out.
The 800 W motor is solid for home grinding. It is not the highest wattage in this lineup, but it is enough to push through ground chuck or pork shoulder with reasonable speed. The 150-pound per-hour throughput rating is a manufacturer benchmark, but it signals the motor is not being worked at its ceiling during normal home sessions. The unit comes in white and measures 14.76 by 7.68 by 14.17 inches, giving a sense of the counter footprint before you order.
At 7.3 pounds it is light enough to move in and out of a cabinet without strain. The combination of low price, confirmed dimensions, and strong owner feedback makes it the most data-rich option in this roundup for buyers shopping under $50.
Pros
- Nearly 2,900 reviews at 4.4 stars is exceptional for the price tier
- 800 W motor handles typical home grinding loads without excess strain
- Known dimensions make it easier to plan counter or storage space
- At 7.3 lb it is easy to store and retrieve between uses
- $46.99 price makes it accessible for buyers trying a grinder for the first time
Cons
- 800 W is lower than some budget rivals and may slow down on very tough cuts
- White plastic housing can stain with repeated use
- No speeds or controls spec listed for texture adjustments
Performance notes
The 800 W motor and 150-pound per-hour rating put the SM-G35 in the capable-but-not-commercial category. The footprint of 14.76 x 7.68 x 14.17 inches is relatively compact for a stand-alone grinder. At 7.3 pounds the unit is unlikely to shift during use, but it is still light enough to lift easily. No voltage is listed, so buyers outside North America should verify compatibility.
What buyers say
Close to 2,900 reviews at 4.4 stars is a strong and statistically reliable signal. At this price and volume, a rating this high suggests the machine is not generating widespread complaints about motor burnout or premature failure. Most owners appear to find the performance consistent with everyday home grinding.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Sunmile SM-G35 good for making burger patties at home?
Yes. The 800 W motor is sufficient for grinding chuck, sirloin, or a mix of cuts for burgers. For best results, partially freeze the meat before grinding, which firms up the fat and makes for a cleaner grind regardless of motor wattage.
How much counter space does the SM-G35 take up?
The listed dimensions are 14.76 inches long, 7.68 inches wide, and 14.17 inches tall. That footprint is similar to a standard stand mixer in terms of depth and width, so it fits on most counters. If you plan to store it between uses, the 7.3-pound weight makes that easy.
Can I grind venison with the SM-G35?
Many buyers use it for venison with good results, particularly when the meat is partially frozen. Game meat tends to have less fat than beef, which can make it slightly harder to push through. The 800 W motor is adequate for occasional game processing, but if you routinely process whole deer you may want a higher-wattage model.
