An executive chef by trade, I was hesitant to buy a pasta machine made in China, especially for such a low price. I considered the more expensive Italian machines were the way to go, but I took the risk and purchased this one anyway. Ironically, one of my sous chefs brought his own Italian machine to our restaurant the day after I received delivery of my own. Mine had greater weight, superior construction, and a wider roller. When I told my sous what I paid for mine, he was furious (but I was giddy). This is simply a great machine. I not only use it for pasta, but for rolling marzipan and gum paste for cake decorating. By all means, get this machine!

I love this pasta machine and it is much more than was described in Overstock's website.I have made 3 huge batches of my grandmother's raviolis and they were perfect thanks to my new pasta roller.It also was a huge bargain compared to the same machine at my local kitchen shop. Their price was 3 times that of Overstock's and they charged $49 extra for EACH cutter whereby I got 2 extra cutters with my pasta machine from Overstock.It cleans beautifully and is extremely efficient.Any one wanting to make home made pasta will love this machine.

I purchased the pasta machine to be used only for jewelry making. I immediately stripped it of most of its components leaving only frame, rollers and crank. In the capacity I purchased it for it meets my expectations, the price was great, and the delivery prompt. I've used Overstock.com many times and have always been happy with my purchases.

I really enjoyed this for a year or so (maybe 30 uses). However the gears are now completely stripped and it is garbage. Don't really feel like it was worth the money. Buy something better made.

So far we have only used the machine twice, but it worked great. We had no problems with the dough sticking to the machine or the handle falling off as others stated. It clamped down easily to our counter and flattened the dough with minimal effort. Spaghetti was fresh and fabulous! My mom was so jealous; looks like we are going to have to buy her one for Christmas!! Considering we had been hand rolling and cutting our pasta, we couldn't be happier! Definitely worth the money.

This is an excellent product for the money. Sturdy, simple, basic, and it does what you need it to do. Pretty much exactly what they use in Italy. Please note that it comes with very minimal and very sketchy instructions, so, if you never used a pasta machine before you might have to consult a website. The knob for adjusting the width of the rollers is a bit hard to get used to, and the cranks for the rollers don't lock in very well, so you have to take care with them. They are meant to be easily removable for storage, and it's not a problem once you get used to it. The first time I used it, it made beautiful and delicious pasta, almost perfectly cut, but be sure that you have a good recipe; otherwise, you will not get good results. And be sure to consult a website re: technique.

This pasta maker is easy to use, easy to set up, and works well with the dough, kneading the dough as the dough goes through. Our favorite recipe thus far has been the raviolis. Once you've had homemade pasta, you never go back to store bought pasta. Easy to clean up. For $****, this was a great bargin.

Love it! Makes rolling and cutting a breeze. Wish I'd bought this years ago. It's easy to clean and use.

I bought this to use with polymer clay, and it only took a minute to get it set up and attached to the table. It is very easy to adjust the machine to varying thicknesses, and everything works very smoothly.

This is fabulous! I purchased it to use in my shop for rolling thin sheets of fondant for cake decorating. I am sure it works equally well for pasta, but with this machine I make consistantly uniform fondant flowers, in a fraction of the time! It is adjustable for vairied thicknesses. It is very sturdy and has an atrractive stainless steal finish. It is my newest trade secret.

For the price, a very good machine. Pretty sturdy and a good size, plus it's relatively easy to change the width with the side control. One thing you need to pay attention to, though, is the substance of your pasta dough; to make fettuccini and spaghetti you need a relatively sturdy dough to ensure that it gets cut all the way through. If the dough is too soft, it's a little tough to get fully separated strands from the machine.

I just purchased my 2nd 18-cm Pasta machine from Overstock. It is a dream to use. I let my grandchildren use my 1st one to make polymer clay items, and they didn't want to share with me so I decided to buy one to do pasta. This is very heavy duty, and you can't beat the price!

Overstock replaced the first one that was damaged in shipment. Easy transaction so have continued to purchase from O.co.

I really thought this would be a cheap item. What a wonderfull surprise. It is good quality, easy to use and exactly what I was looking for. I did not want to use my KitchenAid for making pasta so I thought I would try this. It was exactly what it said. My grandkids and I had such fun making pasta and I have used it multiple times since. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. better than I thought for the price. It is stainless, easy to clean and use.

The only negative thing that I have to say about this product is that the directions were a bit vague. It was probably because of the fact it is sold all over the world and some translations were not done correctly. Other than that, it will work great for making pasta. Plus Overstock shipped it so fast I was amazed!

I absolutely love this pasta machine. I would heartily recommend it. We have made several batches of linguini, potstickers and wide egg noodles. It real well and is simple. Only thing I might change is to have a better way to secure the handle.

I purchased this for my son and he absolutely loves it. He said it is easy to use and the pasta tastes wonderful. He may never buy another box of pasta at the grocery store. Good quality machine for the money and you will not be disappointed.

Great Pasta Maker. Count on this one lasting a long time!

I bought this pasta roller after learning to make pasta in culinary school. The quality is almost as good as the machine we used in school. The only downside I saw was the the pasta thickness knob was a little difficult to use and wouldn't start thick enough. Overall though I really like it.

The machine seems well constructed and is heavy. I've used it twice since receiving it, works like a charm. Saw a similar model at my cooking school listed for 3 times what I paid. Excellent value!
