ImperiaPasta Maker Machine, Red, Made in Italy - Heavy Duty Steel Construction w Easy Lock Dial, Wooden Grip Handle for Fresh, Homemade Italian Pasta Noodles, Homemade Cooking or Gift

The media could not be loaded. I have had the dream of making pasta at home, and this machine made it worth it. It is quite heavy but came all intact.Pros: many pasta shapes (mostly flat pastas) can be made with this kit. You can shape AND thin it out to your liking. It has a great learning curve. I didn’t have to read the manual. It’s instinctive.Cons: heavy. I had to support it with a cutting board underneath one corner when I attached any attachment. The attachment itself is also very heavy. After the labor of love, you might wish to invest it something more automatic.

I gave it as a gift after I have enjoyed my own for years.

Works great!

A perfect pasta machine for hand rolling pasta

OMG, what a nightmareThis thing is a jokeIf you have a marble countertop throw this thing away. The screw down mechanism is not long enough to attach the device to a marble counter top - unless you have a really inexpensive installation of very thin marbleNext, the hand crank is so long it barely clears the counter topThe device is so light and the attachment on top is so heavy the thing falls over unless you can secure it to a countertopIt's more unstable than the tower of PisaHUGE PASSI threw mine in the trash can

I bought this specific pasta maker because it was a hand crank I wanted something I could rely on without electricity. I thought it was going to be difficult to crank it but it was so easy!! I did separate my dough into 4 balls and did one ball at a time in the pasta machine. My 7 year old daughter helped me and absolutely loved making the pasta so much. It’s very user friendly and easy to figure out. I’m already looking at buying other attachments to go with this machine.

The pasta maker works well if you already know how to make pasta and have a recipe you like. The instructions booklet is hard to understand and isn't helpful in how to put the unit together. The pasta machine is metal and seems to be made well. Over all I like it.

There are zero pictures of the clamp that you would need to secure this to the counter while you are rolling out the dough in the pasta machine. Don't worry, it has one. I guess the marketing team decided to do a subpar job with the photos but I got you fam!
