   I was hesitant to buy this product based on the two negative, most up-voted reviews. One goes on about how crummy and unworkable the product is; the other talks about black and silver metal particles coming out of the device.I purchased it anyway, based on the other reviews that haven’t been voted up past the two negative reviews for some reason.The bottom line is that the product is relatively inexpensive and it works.I’ve encountered no metal particles in my pasta. The pasta can travel to the sides as you crank if you’re not careful, but it does go through. The product does work. It appears to me to be solidly built. Its manufacture does not appear tinny or crummy.The main body of the unit is designed to flatten your dough to the desired thickness. There are seven settings. You start with the most thick and work your pasta down to the desired level of thinness.The other pieces are attachments that involve the second stage where you make the pasta the desired shape (fettuccine style, spaghetti style, etc.). You attach the unit by sliding it into grooves on the front of the main unit. You then attach the crank into a hole on the side of the attachment and turn it to work the pasta through. The attachments easily slide in and out but stay in place once attached.So don’t be scared. It works.There are a few annoyances, however.- The bottom support “pads” aren’t pads at all, but pieces of hard white plastic. On smooth surfaces, the machine will slide during use if not held in place.- The height of the crank is higher than the machine, so you will have to use the machine with the edge of it near the edge of a counter.- When you put one of the attachments (to cut the pasta into the various kinds of pasta shapes) on the unit, the weight distribution isn’t completely stable, and it can topple over if you’re not careful. This really hasn’t been much of a problem for me, though. It can topple, but generally doesn’t.- The crank is removable and does not lock in place. If you forget this fact, it can fall out on you if you move the unit and haven’t taken out the crank.And, lastly, some helpful advice as there may be other newbie pasta makers out there like myself.Before using the unit, make sure you have enough room. You will need somewhere to lay out or hang your pasta.There may be a reason why the “pads” on the main unit aren’t sticky pads. As you crank the pasta out, you have the option to slide the unit so that the pasta can be flat when it comes out. Imagine feeding out a length of rope as you walk backwards. If you do that, the rope will form a relatively straight line. If you stay stationary, the rope will just fall in front of you, folding and coiling on itself.Depending on the pasta recipe and thickness setting you use, your pasta may be brittle and break as it folds or may stick to itself when it remains in contact with itself for some time. So I think sliding the unit as you crank or having someone else around to gently grab the pasta and pull it forward can be a great help.Manage your pasta-making in stages by portioning out the dough into small portions, so that the unprocessed pasta isn’t sitting out, drying up, and becoming brittle and the pasta being processed doesn’t have a chance to stick to itself once made because your attention is on managing your work space and dealing with finding a place for your pasta, moving it around gently, making sure the unprocessed pasta isn’t getting too dry, etc.My first few attempts at pasta making were a mess because I didn’t do this. Pasta was everywhere, and my real-estate for working was dwindling rapidly. I painted myself in a corner.Give yourself lots of time and room by making sure you have a large working area. Portion out the dough, keeping the portions you aren’t processing in the fridge wrapped in saran wrap.Also, depending on your recipe, the cooking time for the pasta may be very different from what you expect. I would work with really small portions at first, cooking experimentally and sampling often while boiling.Fresh pasta cooking is different than cooking store bought stuff. Some kinds of fresh pasta take longer than you expect to get to the right mouth-feel, others take a lot less time.The low price of this unit it makes it ideal for beginners like myself. I am sure there are other units that are better, but this one works for me at my current stage of culinary development. I figure three stars would be a fair rank in this regard.Good luck and have fun!

   I was surprised after reading reviews how well it worked and how many attachments came with it for this price. It’s straightforward, been great so far, and I’m happy with it.I’ve used all except the ravioli attachment (which is my next pasta project – they’re small squares, but the filling wells look ample in relation to the pasta seams).One tip: how well you clamp it to your surface matters. I put a non slip silicone baking mat below mine and there’s no wiggle or unevenness during rolling. The attachments all fit, but one attachment rail was tighter than the other, so that one took a little more effort to slide the attachment on.It cleans very easily, dry, with a paper towel held to the roller while operating. I wipe smudges off the flat surfaces with the same paper towel lightly moistened with 70% isopropyl alcohol before storing it.Overall, so far, I think it’s a really great value.

   This pasta maker was great at the beginning. Once I figured out how to use it, it worked pretty well for about 4 months. I used it pretty extensively for those four months, at least twice a week.The device comes with a manual, but the manual is worthless. It doesn’t tell you how to use it, best practices, how to set it up, nothing. It doesn’t even come with a dough recipe. The “manual” assumes you know how to put together a pasta maker, how to clamp it down, and how to roll dough without ever explaining any of it. All it comes with is some recipe ideas for how to use pasta you’ve made, which is not useful at all when you don’t even know how to use the device itself.The device comes with a clamp, but the clamp is ultimately useless. After one use, the clamp was warped and unusable. I had to buy a custom clamp from a hardware store to resolve. Not a big issue, though disappointing that the things that come with are unusable.One of the biggest problems is that dough can get stuck in the inner workings of the maker, and as far as I can tell it’s quite impossible to clean out without taking the entire thing apart into the individual components. Despite that, even that is hard to do, the device seems designed to be hard to take apart in general. This lead to an extremely loud and annoying squeaking sound during pressing that I was incapable of resolving.Eventually, the device fell apart. The wheel that controls the size of the press itself fell off and appeared to have been stripped from use and the inner pieces of the wheel itself had loose parts. Without being able to change the size of the press, the device has become useless.It lasted about 4 months and for the price I can’t say I expected much more, but I also am still disappointed as it should have lasted much longer than that.

   I bought this to try my hand at making fresh pasta and first time right out of the box I’m very pleased! I might not be doing it right because i have no idea what I’m doing, but it was fun and easy and the pasta was GREAT! So that’s good enough for me.

   This was purchased a back up for my Kitchen-Aid pasta rollers. I didn’t even try them out. The first one I ordered had rust streaks on the main roller as though it had been washed. They would not run off or I would have put them down to ambient moisture during warehousing. The replacement I just received still has food particles on it from prior use and the ravioli roller is covered with this sticky substance that will not wipe off. The parts included and quality are far greater than I would expect for the money but I paid for a new product and that’s what I want. I don’t know if this is Amazon shipping out used returns or CucinaPro.

   Great price love all the attachments. A little hard to clean with all the different parts but not impossible.

   Spaghetti & linquine easy to make…. Ravioli a little tricky
