First Look
Externally, the Bosch meat grinder gives the impression of an expensive and well-assembled device that does not correspond to the actual price category. This is explained by the original design, high-quality body materials, pleasant to the touch and in appearance.
For the body of the meat grinder, light gray glossy and white matte plastic was used. In the reviews of the Bosch MFW 66020, its pleasant texture and expensive appearance are noted. The instrument is easy to carry thanks to the handle on the top of the case.
At the bottom there are air vents, a technical data sticker, a wire storage compartment and small rubberized feet.

There is no automatic cord winder; it folds into the compartment manually.
On the right side of the meat grinder body there is a control unit represented by two mechanical keys and a red LED indicator.
The disc storage compartment is located at the top, at the back of the case. Its lid is held by a latch, the compartment itself is divided into three sections, ineach of which freely accommodates a forming disc.
In the front there is a bayonet connector, to which the auger and neck are connected. The latter is fixed with plastic guides, while the connector for the auger is made of metal. The automatic clamp release button is also located here.
The standard assembly method is evaluated in the Bosch MFW 66020 meat grinder reviews: the neck is inserted turning to the right and counterclockwise until the locking mechanism works, which is indicated by a click.
The notch on the grip - a predetermined break point - prevents significant damage to equipment. The gripper breaks if excessive force is applied, but is easily replaced after contacting a service center.
Clamping nut, screws and neck of the meat grinder are made of aluminum, molding discs and knives are made of steel. The diameter of the holes in the disks varies from 3 to 8 millimeters.
The pusher and food tray are made of plastic. In the reviews of the Bosch MFW 66020, the original design of the pusher is noted: it is made in the form of a container, inside which plastic nozzles are stored for making kebbe and sausages.
Such a solution, coupled with a storage compartment for molding discs, can be called a complete system.

This arrangement of equipment avoids the use of boxes and boxes for storing accessories.
