Default Meat grinder motor power???

How are electric motors rated for power?

I am looking at different meat grinders online and the watts vs. HP seems a bit confusing.

i have a crappy tire special that i got years ago that is 300w with no HP rating and its fine for deer but bogs down easy. My buddy has a similar style grinder thats 750w and 3/4HP (i checked the data sticker on the bottom) but seems to bog down just like mine.

Then i look at the 3/4HP cabelas grinders (cant find a wattage rating online) and people say they cant keep up witu those beast.

then on amazon and ebay there are 1200 peak watt grinders and 1HP for like $150 and im sure you get what you pay for but how do these numbers determine grinding power and pounds per minute of processing speed?

peek watts vs. watts vs. HP ?

is it all in the gear box?

is it even worth considering these high wattage grinders that are online. or is it just misleading wording on the ads and they are the same crappy grinders that C-Tire and wallmart sell?
