Bad move not buying the #12.
1/3hp V 3/4hp ? Do the math.
Love my LEM #12.
Well I can always return it if it bothers you that much...
I didnt have my motor amp draw charts with me to see if the 3/4 HP would draw more than the typical 15 amp circuits or need 20 amp circuits plus...
I looked at 6# per min grind rate on the #8 and 11# per min on the #12 and determined one or two deer a year... I cant feed it that fast...
And the review on a #5 was good so split the gap.
I'll keep you updated...
