I use a HUGE bowl under the shoot and put my grinder in the middle of my kitchen island and have little trouble with real mess, unless I don't clean the parts right away. The key is to toss all the detachable parts in hot soapy water laced with a little bleach (just a little) for a few minutes right after the grinding then scrub the parts under hot water with a tooth brush, then I run them through the dishwaser. I have found that I can make extra lean ground meat SO much cheaper and much more lean than what is in the meat case. I buy EXTRA lean sirloins, of either beef or pork, or the skinned breast and thighs from a chicken. I can trim ALL the visible fat. I can make my own sausage and know exactly what is in it AND how much fat. I can even make homemade pet food that is human grade quality and spend a fraction of what it cost me at the pet store. For me there was no downside, but time and energy were involved. You must be meticulous on cleaning the grinder, and you have to be somewhat organized, having all the meat cut and trimmed and ready grind in one sitting, that way you are not moving back and forth getting meat all over. I am sorry this did not work so well for you, but working with another person would help. I have done this a few times with my pet food making since I just have one little cat and it really helps.
