Got it for polymer clay and it works great!!!

This was purchased as a Christmas present & very pleased with it.

Love this pasta maker. Easy to use for a beginner like me. No fuss

Crap quality. Handle continuously falls off the machine+ the roller itself transfers fine metal bits hindering looks+ safety. Would not recommend for anything, especially food as purpose entails.

Mi hermano me comentó que funciona bien, pero no me dio más detalles.

Best one..loving it.Works very smoothly.

Have used it a couple times now. I had some doubts about this one after reading the reviews. But it was just as someone said in another review - if you read the instructions you wont have a problem. I doubt I will ever buy any of the other cutting attachments for it since I dont think I need a dozen sized of flat noodles. It works well. It is not that hard to clean. And it does just what it says it will. My only recommendation is read the instructions first. Flour the dough often as you roll it. And get a good recipe. very basic recipe: 1 cup of flour, 1 egg. mix it together, knead it for 5-10 minutes adding flour if needed. Let it rest at least 30 minutes to one hour. Roll it out, flouring it each time through the machine. DO follow the instruction to run some dough through the rollers and cutters first time using it (throwing it away) I didnt notice any metal particles as others noted but there is machine oil on the parts you probably dont want to eat. When your done dust it off. I used a dry pastry brush. that is all there is to it.

I am SO DISAPPOINTED with this product!! For several reasons, but the overall disappointment is that it just doesn't offer the ease and/or efficiency that I was under the impression it would deliver. First of all, it's a two person operation ~ you need one person to feed the dough into the rollers and another person to pull the dough through other side. Secondly, the handle ~ which, is removable for the different cutting rollers ~ doesn't stay in the latch for turning. Thus, causing a not-smooth roller operation and further causing a jam up of the dough. Thirdly, when you can manage to get some of the dough to feed through properly, when it comes out on the other side, it isn't cut... it globs back together.I gave the benefit of the doubt and thought perhaps I was not using a 'dry' enough dough ~ so, I added more flour to my mix, and RE-floured the rollers and tried again ~ with the exact same results. I purchased this product because my family really fell in love with the fresh taste of fresh, homemade pasta ~ however, as you can imagine, hand-cutting noodles is a rather time-consuming procedure... hence, the purchase of the CucinaPro 177 Pasta Fresh Pasta Machine. My experience with this product did not save me a minute of time and produced ZERO results! Hand-cutting my noodles may produce uneven, somewhat crazy looking noodles ~ but at least it produces SOME noodles! Geez ~ I swear, I was so frustrated and mad at the end of this experience, I was in tears. I am so disappointed with this purchase. Unless you have some lengthy experience at making and handling fresh pasta dough, I wouldn't use this product as your 'time-saver'. For the price though, it does make for a nice paper weight. Ugh. I'm contacting Amazon today about returning it.

This is not a toss-in-the-dough-and-out-comes-pasta machine. This is a work-a-day hand roller and noodle cutter that, once you learn a few tricks, makes fresh pasta a snap.I've had those big, bulky and complicated pasta machines, and they all cracked, burned out their motors, and made a huge mess. This is a surprisingly simple gadget that anyone who's willing to devote a little time, can use to make delicious fresh pasta. The beauty is in the simplicity!There are a number of reviews in here that offer excellent tips. I suggest reading them. Here are a few of my own:1. Dough consistency is key. The dough should form a homogenous, elastic but not sticky ball. You should be able to knead it without pieces crumbling, and without it leaving any residue on your hands or the surface. Some recommend letting the dough rest for a while. I haven't had any trouble diving right in after mixing it, but try it both ways to see what works best for you.2. I use Semolina flour, but you don't have to. I just like the taste better -- reminds me of Grandma's pasta.3. If you use two cups of flour and two eggs (as recommended in the directions), split the dough into six pieces to make your strips. This gives you manageable sizes, without having to roll out so many strips that it's too time-consuming.4. The instructions say to run the strip through six times, each time reducing the thickness notch. I found that running it through the first notch twice worked best -- it can come out in pieces the first time, so you just press those pieces together and run it through again. You'll have your single strip.5. Since the machine only clamps down on one side, I had a little trouble with the other side lifting as I rolled. When you start rolling with your right hand, just press down a little on the unsecured side with your left palm. (I would have liked to see the design include a better spot to rest your palm, perhaps over the thickness knob.)6. Let the strips rest about 10 minutes before cutting -- any longer and they might dry too much, any less and they're too soft. Cut each strip in half with scissors before running through noodle cutter -- this will give you manageable strip lengths, and also a nice straight edge to start in the cutter.7. I bought the drying rack, which works wonderfully. When you are cutting the noodles, halfway through the strip, insert a dowel under the noodles and catch them on it as they emerge. You will come away with the noodles hanging neatly on the dowel, which you then just place on the rack to dry. (Do let it dry for at least an hour, so it doesn't stick together.) Then, when ready to cook, just pick the dowel up and tilt it so the pasta falls right into the pot. This way, the brittle pasta won't break.8. Note that the handle does not lock into place. I had a lot of trouble at first with having it pop out while I was turning. If you keep an eye on this and just exert a little inward pressure, it should be fine. (It is this minor glitch, and the lifting side, that brought this review down to 4 stars.)Ignore the naysayers who weren't willing to put the effort into learning how to use this thing. They may have been expecting something like a bread machine, where you toss in the ingredients and four hours later, have bread. In my experience, I haven't found a single motorized pasta maker that works as well as this. Yes, this one requires some actual effort and a little artistry. The fact is, pasta, like bread, IS a little tricky to make...but unlike bread, a machine can't do all the work. Take an afternoon and experiment, and don't give up the first time if it feels awkward or strips come out crumbly. Once you get your dough consistency right and get the feel for how to roll it, you'll be whipping out homemade pasta like the pros! I can make a full batch of pasta in less than a half-hour.
