J. Couture (TN United States): "My wife and I decided we wanted to make our own pasta. Step one was to see what was on the market and what others liked (and didn't). The Simac went to the top of the list very quickly. Step two, find the most reasonable price. Failing Amazon (dicont.) went to Ebay. Average price was $150 for a new or barely used machine with all the parts/manuals. So I tried my luck...no good, and I hate the outrageous shipping charges. Went to Google again and did a deeper search. Ah ha, a big name retailer had them in their clearance section for $119 (wow) with free shipping (FedEx home delivery no less). I ordered it on Tuesday night and it arrived on Friday afternoon...double wow. Due to the issues we read about below, we decided to RTFM first. However, we also decided to go with a recipe for tomato pasta from the recipe book. <p>After we washed all the parts, we assembled the ingredients. I happen to own a kitchen scale (I use it for my RC airplane hobby) so we used that method to measure out a lb of flour. We sifted it as directed and put in the other ingredients. Pushed the button, and added the water slowly as directed. The pasta was too wet so we added a tbs. of flour (as directed) and let it run 3 minutes more. We had to add about two more tbs. of flour to get it in the "walnut sized balls" stage. During this time, something strange happened that I'll describe at the end. Finally, we ran hot water over the die we wanted while extruding 2 "golf ball" sized lumps without the die in place (as directed). The pasta was "ragged" on the edges, but after the first foot or so it cleared right up. We just recycled it. The pasta (linguini) only took 45 seconds to cook. It tasted good, but I am now aching to try some semolina :)<p>The weirdness:<br>We have GFCI plugs in the kitchen (as is code). After the first 10 minutes of kneading, the GFCI tripped? They should only trip if the HOT (120VAC) is connected to the ground. Very weird. It tripped both GFCI's. I didn't smell any burning so I moved the machine to a non-GFCI outlet to complete the process. Weird item number two: neither switch would turn off the machine? Hmmm, I'm an EE so I had an idea of how the machine is put together. The two switches are in series (if either opens then no current will flow) and most manufacturers switch the HOT side. When I opened the unit up, I saw that they were switching the neutral side. I also saw the problem. The HOT wire had become pinched between the case and the very hefty gearbox (metal BTW) and was shorting to ground. This completed the circuit to the motor so it would run but bypassed the switches too. I wire tied the offending wire out of harm's way and all is well. The motor on this machine is massive and I am positive that running it like that did no harm. After seeing the quality of the insides, I am also positive this machine will last a lifetime.<p>Jay"
Daniel F. Moore (Yarmouth, Maine USA): "Having read all of the reviews of the machine, it strikes me that people who have had trouble are probably not used to making things that require a level of attention. Making pasta is not like using a breadmaker. You can't just put all of the ingredients in the machine and walk away. Having used a CTC Pasta Express for years and being generally satisfied with it, I wasn't in the market for a machine as expensive as the Simac. But as an earlier reviewed observed, a large mail order company was selling it for 119 dollars including shipping. I decided to give it a try.<br>The PastaMatic 700MX operates differently than most models. For one thing, you have to weigh your flour and carefully measure the egg mixture(I use Egg Beaters). It takes longer to knead than my CTC too.<br>BUT...it makes the best pasta I have ever tried. The strands are much thinner than the CTC and a short dip in boiling water produces a superior pasta. I have purchased additional dies from Lello and look forward to trying them. The complaint about not being able to use 100% semolina is a recognition that that flour alone is just too dense and coarse for an extruder. No electric machine recommends using 100% semolina. But you can use a mixture of semolina and durum flour, which is a finer grind of semolina. <br>As for the cleanup, I was expecting all kinds of problems but it really wasn't any more difficult than any other appliance. Let it sit for an hour or so and the remaining dough will harden and be much easier to remove.<br>In short, I really like this machine! It takes time to make it work but that is time well spent."
Sheep-and-books (in the dry, hot, dark of the desert): "We make a lot of pasta at our house. Because of arthritus in my hands, hand kneeding is out of the question -- so to make up a batch of dough, I use either my Simac -- my bread machine -- or my food processor. Any of the three will make acceptable pasta dough. However you do need to know going in that the dough is going to be tougher, harder, and less pliable than any bread or cookie dough. It's basically a damp flour rock.
And, YOu have to listen to the machine -- whether it's the simac, or a bread machine/food processor -- and not let your motor overheat, because, obviously, kneeding a damp flour rock is a lot of work.
But once it's all mixed evenly, the process is the same regardless of which machine mixes it, and which machine is going to turn the rock into luscious pasta... Take your flour rock and wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for a half hour or more. You have to do this to give the gluten in the flour time to form the long felxible strands necessary to turn rocks into spirals of spaghetti in sauce.
Then take about half a standard pasta recipe (assuming you are starting with the standard recipe 3c-3.5c flour/4 egg/2T water/1t salt.)
Take half that rock and either press it out thin enough to start a roller version (to cut into long strands of varying lengths, or stuff like ravioli) or put it back into the simac to extrude one of the pastas that doesn't simply slice -- like penne, rigatoni, macaroni, or hollow spaghetti.
A home-sized extruder machine is always going to be a bit of a wimp-- because the big commercial machines used by dry pasta manufacturers cost thousands of dollars, take a gymnasium-sized factory to house, use mega-electricity, and turn out pasta that tastes like reconstituted school paste.
The real stuff takes time, patience, attention, and a bit of knowledge -- READ THE MANUALS! READ COOKBOOKS! TALK TO THE CHEF AT A LOCAL cafe who makes his/her own pasta.... And it also takes practice. Regardless of the machine, your 10th batch will be easier, faster, and tastier than your first. That's just the way it is.
If cooking were so easy you could get it perfect the first time, everybody would get it perfect the first time, and there would be no need for cooking schools, cookbooks, or practice. If you can balance your checkbook and drive a car, then you have mastered what it takes to make pasta or make bread, or make ice cream, or make polenta or black forest cake -- the ability to learn. So give yourself a learing curve and go learn something new. (and quit blaming the machines....)
A note about cut pastas -- even if you've got a good Simac extruder, your noodles will still be easier to deal with if you roll-cut them in a good machine like the Imperia, the Atlas, or better still, the Trattoria. You don't have to worry about noodles sticking together, to the machine, or to anything else. Not everything in the 21st century benefits by plugging it into the wall.
Best advice for pasta making: get a sturdy ironing board with a cloth cover and clamp your apsta roller to that. Flour the cloth cover and you've got sturdy, clean elbow room without emptying your crowded cabinet tops."
Georgeriordan (Pasadena, California U.S. A.): "This is the fourth Pasta-matic I have purchased. While it makes
excellent pasta they do eventualy wear out through use. The motor
often fails from constant use and the thermo plastic parts often fail with constant use. I use the machine on the average of
three times a month or thirty six times a year to make various
varieties of pasta wich is probably beyond the life cycle of
the machine"
Mononoke655 (Blue Creek, Ohio (USA)): "I have had a Simac Pastamatic for about eight years. I have owned several other brands of pasta makers. Most of the ones I previously had were not well made. They were all made in China or Taiwan. I do have an older 700 Pastamatic and it is made from a stronger and more flexible plastic. I prefer the older Pastamatic because I believe it is a better machine. I use either semolina with bread flour or all durum flour. All durum flour seems to work very well. I bought a new farmer's pasta die from Simac and I really love the texture.I recomend it if you are a pastaoholic like me. It's the closest you will ever get to commercially extruded pasta. To sum up: Great machine. Pasta has good texture with durum flour.."
Sara (Portland, Oregon): "I'm not sure what the other complaints are about. There are no new pasta makers on the market and this was previously considered the best. This is not a "pasta for dummies" machine. You need to use common sense and alrady feel comfortable cooking. But is is a million times easier than pasta from scratch. I love this machine and will use it for years to come. . . My conclusion: EASY PASTA."
John Peiffer (Portland, OR USA): "We made the switch to the Simac with some trepidation after having been very happy with our former machine for so many years, but we found this unit to be a very pleasant surprise. The design is fairly simple with quick assembly and disassembly for cleaning. There are fewer parts which are much easier to clean than our previous model and the manner in which they fit together provides a good seal and functional placement for filling the mixing chamber and handling the extruding pasta through the die in the front. The variety of dies satifies all of our needs for different shapes and the dies store conveniently in a rack in the back of the unit where the power cord is coiled whether you stow the unit in a cabinet, leave it on your counter for frequent use, or slide it across into a small appliance garage. The motor is powerful enough to mix and extrude without bogging down and is much quieter than our older model, making it possible to carry on a normal conversation with all of the other activity going in the kitchen at the same time. If you're looking for a way to enjoy fresh pasta meals on a regular basis without having to hassle with your machine, this will certainbly do the trick for you. Buon appetito!"
Anton P. Ruesing (Orlando, FL USA - Earth): "This thing is fantastic. I love pasta and I have always wanted a pasta machine because I make my own sauces, and I have always liked the idea of making my own pasta as well. I asked for this machine and an Atlas hand crank machine for Christmas, because I like all kinds of pasta and I don't think you can make penne on a hand crank. My wife bought me both of them, although the Atlas machine has not arrived yet. I was a little worried after reading all the reviews, and when I opened the box it looked like it might have been used or remanufactured or something, but I have to say the machine performed flawlessly. I followed the recipe exactly, using a scale and sifting the flour into the bowl. The machine worked great and the pasta was wonderful. If you follow the instructions that come with the machine, you won't have any problems. If it continues to work as it did today I will be VERY satisfied. To sum up: Very Happy With This Machine."
Anonymous customer (Mexico City, Mexico): "Great deal! If you follow the instructions and use t}he correct measuremente you will have great pasta. Noisy.
In order to avoid malfunctions or even injuries let the dough out the machine before to put the pasta shapers."
Anonymous customer (Worc. MA.): "I bought this to make Christmas Eve homemade pasta. I used to start 2-3 wks before Christmas Eve and roll it out all by hand.. but now just needed to do it the Sun. before and I made 5 Lbs of pasta. So easy..

Anonymous customer (East Coast, USA): "I bought this a few months back and must say for a novice pasta maker it is wonderful!! I found the best pasta was using semolina with egg. My family loves the taste of the fresh pasta. It does take a bit of getting used to in terms of texture.......I suggest making the dough a bit more wet than the instructions say otherwise it comes out a bit dry. The cleanup is simple....I sit it out overnight and tap out the dry dough in the morning and then wash. Simple to use, great pasta is the outcome, simple cleanup. I highly recommend this."
Cynthia Robutka (WEATHERFORD, TEXAS United States): "THIS IS MY FIRST PURCHASE OF A PASTA MAKER. IT IS FANTASTIC. I HAVE USED ALL THE DIFFERENT PASTA DIES THAT CREATE THE SHAPE OF THE PASTA WITH NO PROBLEM. THE DIES ARE STRONG. YOU GET AN EXTRA RING THAT HOLDS THE DIE IN PLACE BECAUSE WHEN FIRST LEARNING TO JUDGE THE CONSISTENCY OF THE DOUGH SOME MAKE THE DOUGH TOO HARD AND FORCING IT THROUGH THE DIE CAN CAUSE THE RING TO BREAK. THE TRICK HERE IS TO BE SURE YOUR DOUGH IS THE RIGHT CONSISTENCY, NOT TOO DRY AND NOT TOO STICKY. I DID NOT KNOW IF I WOULD EVEN LIKE FRESH PASTA BUT I MUST SAY IT WAS WONDERFUL. CLEANING IS EASY AND THE BOOK THAT COMES WITH IT SUGGESTS YOU LET THE DOUGH DRY ON THE PASTA DIES FOR EASY CLEANING AS YO CAN THEN JUST CRUMBLE OFF AND DOUGH THAT IS LEFT HARDENED ON THE DIE MUCH EASIER. IT COMES WITH AN INSTRUCTION BOOK AND A RECIPE BOOK AND AN ORDER FORM FOR MORE DIES IF YOU WOULD LIKE ADDING TO THE COLLECTION OF PASTA SHAPES. I WILL USE THIS MACHINE OFTEN. IT IS FANTASTIC! "

Faith M. Bacha (Atlanta, GA USA): "I bought the Simac MX700 PastaMatic Pasta Maker to replace my Cuisinart pasta maker. My Cuisinart was a bull at making pasta. It made 1-1/2 pounds at a time and was never a problem. I do not feel the same way about the Simac. Mine would overheat during extruding. Also, it barely made enough pasta to feed my family of 4. It finally died after 1-1/2 years of use. When I say died I mean it started smoking and making very strange noises. Also, there is no way I was going to send it back to Italy for service. I have resigned myself to purchasing homemade pasta at the store. I wish I could find a better pasta machine. What I really wish is that Cuisinart still made a pasta machine. In a nutshell: Very Disappointed."
Craig Shields (Chicago, IL): "After my Ronco machine broke, I bought this one. It never worked well for hollow pasta, and the bearings went out after about 20 uses."
Robert Cellucci (Alamo, CA USA): "I used an old OSROW pasta machine for years. This is essentially identical with the Takka and the Pasta express x1000 thru 4000. This machine, while it does not have the variety of dies that the Simac has, is far superior in operation and performance. I got a simac because of all of the good reviews. I am extremely disappointed.<p>The Osrow was much easier to make use. The Simac has a shutter that you pull out when you are ready to extrude. The shutter leaks flour (semolina) and that jams the die and can damage it. I rarely get a full batch of pasta out of the Simac I have to work with it, clear the passage of flour and end up throwing away some dough. With the Osrow, you simply reverse the (more powerful) motor when you are ready to extrude and the pasta comes out perfectly. It is much easier to operate than the Simac and seems to be much sturdier.<p>I intend to sell the Simac and go back to the pasta express/Osrow."
Tylac (Louisville, KY): "Less than one month after puchasing this pasta machine all of the pasta dies have broken. The ring nuts cannot hold the dies in place and they break. Maybe it is because I was making semolina pasta, but that should not be the case. This machine has caused me way too much stress at dinner time. Knowing what I know now I would buy fresh pasta at the store."
R. Towner (US): "I bought this a few months back, and have yet to make a batch of pasta. We bought the "precise kitchen scales" per several recommendations and followed the directions precisely. The dough ends up a clump of glue that doesn't feed through the pasta die holes. Clean-up is a total mess, the pasta dies included are not for any popular/normal shapes, and on the first use my wife cracked one of the plastic dies that was included. We resorted to pulling out the dough, rolling it out, and cutting it by hand on the last use, and that even didn't work right. My advice is to stay far-away from the pasta maker, as the construction is flimsy/weak, its very difficult to clean, and unless you have more luck that us, you won't get it to produce pasta. It's become a $65 piece of junk taking up a corner of one of our back kitchen cabinets."
FC Wheeler (Winchendon, MA USA): "Upon trying this equipment, the machine would not pass the dough through the die. Returned, not interested in it any more. Will be purchasing a hand crank pasta machine instead."

Alessio Rossi (San Diego, CA): "I received the Pinzon Pasta Maker as a gift though I already own my trusty Atlas hand-crank model from Italy. So, I decided to put them through a side-by-side comparison. I am from Italy and have spent countless hours in the kitchen at our family restaurant back home... and have made plenty of pasta noodles.
When making fresh pasta, it is important to set up your workspace with adequate room to provide comfortable access to your machine, so you can crank it easily with one hand and lead the pasta out with the other hand. Also, be sure you always clamp it tightly to the lip of your work surface (like a sturdy counter or table top) so the machine won't walk away. It is also helpful to have consistent dough that is not too sticky. Keep flour on hand to dust it if it does become sticky otherwise you'll be fighting with it the whole time.
To perform my comparison, I made a typical basic dough (flour, egg, salt). I would say right off, that I admittedly did not want to like a machine that wasn't from Italy, but I put my national pride aside. The first impression is the Pinzon model is lighter in weight than the Italian counterpart, however once clamped to the counter top it remained secure through the entire process of making pasta, and the weight difference proved to be irrelevant. The mechanics of the Pinzon machine are excellent, and it moves the dough through with ease and consistency, with an adjustment knob to bring the rollers together, making the sheets thinner and thinner until the desired thickness is achieved. The first few turns of the knob were a little stiff probably because the machine was new, because it got easier with use. The cutters worked great and produced excellent fine ribbons - angel hair on one side, fettuccine on the other. Side by side with the Atlas, I could find nothing to complain about. (Except that I paid quite a bit more for my machine than the price of this one). This is a well- built, solid machine that will provide years of service. One other note, the motor for my Atlas machine also fit onto the Pinzon machine - a great feature since it frees up your hands to guide the pasta!
This lives up to the Pinzon standard of providing a great product for a great price and I give it 5 stars. Bravo!"
KK (San Diego, CA): "Why didn't I buy this sooner??? This machine is very well built and sturdy. I think that you could run over it with a dump truck and it wouldn't get a scratch on it. It is pretty heavy once the fettuccine attachment is on there, so make sure that it is clamped down tight. You will need a pretty significant lip on your counter for the clamp to fit properly (I'd say about at least 1.5-2 inches). I do not believe that this machine will work properly without the clamp (it will slide all over the place), so take this into consideration. I also believe that there is a Good Eats episode where Alton Brown screws or clamps his pasta roller onto an ironing board, so it is possible to use another surface. :)
The simple formula in the manual is quite tasty. Like other reviews have said, it cannot be sticky or the stickiness will transfer to the machine. It should be dry enough to look like it's wrong (which is very hard if you are a bread baker!). For the first run-through, the 1 lb of dough was more than enough to get rid of all of the grease/metal/residue. Just make sure that you roll the dough totally across all of the surfaces because I found the majority of the grease to be on the sides.
The dough rolls smoothly through each setting. One thing that I wish I could change would be the dial. I find it fairly tricky to do with one hand and I usually end up draping the dough over my arm while I use two hands to change the dial settings. It's not that big of a deal and I just make sure to wash my arm before starting. I have not made any other types of pasta dough other than egg, so I cannot comment on how sticky the dough would be with the addition of spinach or tomatoes.
I also learned that you can run bread dough through the smaller cutter to make bread sticks. Just roll out the dough, run through the cutter, twist, season and drizzel a little olive oil and bake.
All in all, this a fantastic product that was built to last. Just remember to tighten the clamp... more than once I didn't screw it tight enough and the machine nearly fell off of the counter while I was turning the crank on the tougher low number settings. Be careful... rolling that darn dough is quite addicting! My conclusion: Solid quality and performance."
Diane Kistner (Tallahassee, Florida): "After tasting a friend's homemade pasta, I knew there is just no comparison with the store-bought stuff. It was out of this world! I would recommend anyone who wants to try pasta-making to go with this model. I own a number of Pinzon products and have found the quality to be excellent.
The Pinzon pasta maker is not hard to handle. It looks to be the same size as an Imperia 150, which I've looked at in the stores, right down to the same shape and noodle types. The Pinzon has three more dough-roller settings (9) than the Imperia (6), and the notches in the knob are covered in the Pinzon one as opposed to being open (and subject to getting dough shoved inside) like the Imperia's knob. It's a bit hard to read the settings, which are etched into the steel knob cover, but once you get the feel of it it won't matter.
I do wish the Pinzon handle knob was not plastic, however. I am really trying to eliminate all plastic from my kitchen. But it helps keep the price down, I'm sure. Also, the stainless steel portion of the handle slides through the end of the handle knob; I'd rather the end of the knob be solid instead of open.
When you get your pasta machine, or even before you get it, read up on advice on how to make the best pasta dough and how to care for your machine. I expect it's going to be roughly the same procedure for all manual pasta makers. I liked the recipe of 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup semolina flour, and 1 egg, then only add water by dipping your fingers in water as you work the dough. Also be sure to let the dough rest half an hour before running it through the machine. I also read somewhere that you can clean your pasta machine by running a piece of bread or felt through it. (So far, I've taken the advice of one reviewer who said "never clean your pasta machine." That's kind of how I handle my cast iron skillet, swiping it out with a paper towel only. I haven't died yet.)
Oh, and I really appreciate the Italian reviewer who was able to compare the Pinzon with an Atlas. It makes me feel super-good about getting this pasta machine....
"
Jane Dust (new york): "As the product name indicates the rollers are only 5 1/2 inch, which is much smaller than in regular pasta makers. I found it to be an actual advantage as narrower dough is much easier to handle.
I prepared some dough (flour, egg, salt and water) and run it through the rollers several times, going from the thickest to the thinnest setting. It worked very well, and dough got a great consistence. Switching between settings is very easy, but handle tends to fall out while rolling.
There are two cutters available - for thin and medium noodles. The trick is to keep feeding the cutters without stopping (or dough can get stuck to the top of machine) while catching the noodles at the other end... Maybe it's just me but I have always thought that pasta makers required at least three hands. But since the dough is narrow, I could pick the noodles up with one hand and hang them up to dry in one swift move.
All in all a great pasta maker. I am taking one star off because the handle is made of ugly brown plastic, that does not match the cool stainless steel body.
Bottom line: Great little thing."
Penguin Chick: "I consider myself a chef wannabe. I watch the cooking channel and then try to mimic them in my own kitchen. Sometimes it works, and sometimes, well, not so much! I've wanted a pasta maker for a long time for lots of reasons. They look fun. It'll make me feel like a "pro". I love pasta!! When I saw this one, I just had to grab it. I'm so glad I did! The pasta recipe was simple and easy. I clamped the machine on my counter (make sure it's tight!) and started rolling the pasta through. It took a little practice, but pretty soon I was feeling like Giada. ha! It really was fun and I had a blast using it.
Oh! I also make crafts using polymer clay and have read that using a small pasta maker is a great way to condition the clay. Since the price is so low, I think I'm going to buy another one to use for my clay.
Buy it. You'll love it!"
T. Bleeks (New Haven, Ct): "After sending untold hours pouring over reviews and wondering if I made the right choice, I can say that I'm very happy with my Pinzon pasta maker.
I like the fact that it is slightly narrower than some of the others since it gives me better control over the dough passing through the machine. Also it appears to be very sturdy and performed smoothly. I think problems people experienced with pasta makers are mostly due to the consistency of the dough. You need to find a simple recipe and be sure that the dough IS NOT sticky. If you get it right there is no cleaning required of the machine.
My only negative comment , which was mentioned by others, is that the handle may slip out of the machine. I solved this by putting a small piece of masking tape on the end of the handle.
Tom B"
Chef Curdle: "This is so much easier than rolling out pasta with a rolling pin. A good solid product. Only negative as far as I'm concerned is that the handle can come loose when you're in a pasta making frenzy."

Natasha Stryker (California): "I was able to find some recipes online for making your own glutten free pasta and this machine was helpful in this adventure. It doesn't clamp down very well on my counter, so I clamped it to a large butcher block and it was pretty stable on that -- kind of a pain though. ANYway, the pasta came out very good! I was worried the mix would get jammed in the rollers since gf is so sticky, but I kept continual flour on the rollers and such and it didn't stick too badly.
There are great gf pasta out there, but the shapes that are not available is what I seek to make. Egg noodle size in particular was what I wanted to attempt and I give my results a B+. The machine worked well, the handle is a little cheap looking and the clamp is an odd size/depth for my counters. The butcher block worked okay, but it was a little wobbly. Al in all it was a bit more work to do than I wanted but the results were good. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could, but it did not deserve 4 in my eyes so I rounded down."
Comrite_com (PA, USA): "The pro:
This pasta machine is great to make mini shanghai won ton wrap.
With No.9, you can create really thin wrap which is amazing. I already uploaded two pictures.
The Con:
I received this machine with broken pasta attachment. It cannot make spaghetti (which I usually call thick noodle).
Amazon does not allow me to exchange it. I can only return it for a refund. Then reorder it. I don't want to bother to buy another thing to qualify for the $25 super saving.
It is sad to purchase something brand new and received something broken.
Cross your fingers for your order with this machine. Bottom line: Great to make Shanghai Won Ton Wrap."

Anne (Baltimore, MD): "Over the years, my mom has owned probably 10 different pasta makers and I've owned 3 additional pasta makers of my own. There's a couple of things that can really be frustrating: 1) If the handle falls out a lot. 2) If the clamp doesn't clamp the machine onto the table tight enough. and 3) If the noodle cutter doesn't cut well. Any of those three can make for a really frustrating experience.
The problem with this machine is #1: the handle falls out a lot. The machine is very lightweight and doesn't feel as if it's made that well and the thickness adjusting knob feels flimsy. But, you have to think about the price you're paying and so I understand that. It's reasonable quality for the price. BUT, the handle doesn't go in all the way on the roller (as far as it should). It only went in about half way on the roller part. And it went in far enough on the angel hair cutter, but not on the fettucine cutter. So, this pasta maker would be really frustrating--because the majority of your turning is the rolling part--making the dough thinner and thinner.
My recommendation is that if you're looking for a good pasta maker that won't frustrate you, then I think you'd be wise to choose a different one. I do know that sometimes there are quality control issues with things and perhaps mine is just defective. So, please read the other reviews to see what the general experience with this pasta maker is. "

nona (westerville , OH USA): "Delonghi PM1000 Pasta Maker
I love my pasta maker, I bought a past maker 26 years ago and it was made by cusinart, I have been making homemade pasta for years, i used it so much after 26 years it is sqeeking and feeling hot, I was so afraid it would go out, i searched for another one just like it by cusinart, found out they do not make them anylonger. The internet is awsome I looked and looked and found the exact same one by Delonghi and bought it. I now have two and my first one is still going. I have told so many people about this great machine, i have read the reviews and some are not good, results in making pasta is failure, YOU have to be patient and follow recipe by the exact mm and grams. I still use the recipe from the Cusinart, i have pasta perfect never fail, i share with everyone who purchased this machine. I use a cusinart scale for dry indregients.. I would be lost without this machine. I have my water boiling and make the pasta in minutes, you can also make and freeze. I have made with so many children and they have so much fun, not messy at all, I now have a 15 month old granddaughter and can't wait to make with her. My Italian family love this machine and it has spoiled us. I say buy it, it seems to be getting more expensive everytime i see it. Could not be happier with this product."

M. Dielschneidere (Oregon, USA): "Makes wonderful noodles. Very well made product. Already had to replace one dye with no trouble. To sum up: Great Product."
John N. Waterhouse Jr. (Taipei, Taiwan): "The Delonghi PM1000 Pasta Maker Delonghi CUCINA Pasta Maker PM1000 does a terrific job of making pasta. We have already had several terrific pasta meals.
We really like this machine because it:
1) kneads, as well as extrudes, the dough, saving a lot of manual work.
2) makes many different shapes of pasta. For example it can make round spaghetti and also gnocchi.
3) is quite heavy, so it doesn't move around on the counter.
The only trouble that we had was that the first batch of dough was too dry, and the machine jammed. My wife wasn't able to get the machine disassembled, but I was. We haven't had any trouble since then.
The machine states that the dough is ready when it has "walnut" sized balls. However there is no photo. I think that the user's manual would be better with some photos showing dough that is ready and also not ready."

Anonymous customer (arizona): "I don't care for the continuous feed/extrude feature. I tried to find another "Pasta Express" machine but apparently is no longer available. The Delonghi was the only non-commercial machine I could find. It's better than nothing!"

Paula S (Putnam, NY): "I am just shopping for a new pasta machine since my Popeil machine's gears, made of plastic, broke. DeLonghi sells this machine for $199 at their own website so I don't know how Amazon says it lists for $420. Amazon tends to have inflated list prices, in my experience. Sounds like the reviewer who said it was a good price compared to other sites was mistaken, or maybe the price has dropped because the machine is not worth more. My KitchenAid pasta attachment extrudes pasta that sticks together unless you dust pounds of flour on it as it comes out. Sounds like that's what the DeLonghi does, according to the one good review here. The metal gears on this one sound like they would solve the problem of plastic gears breaking easily, but not according to another reviewer whose machine broke."
Anonymous customer (Columbus, OH USA): "The first time using the product it got jammed and I have not been able to open the machine up due to its malfunction.
I need to exchange it for a new pasta maker, however, I do not have any of information to do it. It was thrown out by mistake.
Could you please send me information on how to exchange the machine for a new one and then I could be better at rating the product."
Gary S: "I bought this machine a couple years ago and I am pleased with the quality of pasta it produces. However, the plastic parts are now cracking and I can't find a source for replacement parts. The plastic bowl is falling apart and the gray colored extrusion chamber now has a large crack and will fail shortly. The Delonghi web site offers no replacement parts. I was able to find one other web site that sells only the bowl, but no other parts. I guess I will now be searching for a new machine. I will buy one from a company that supports the customers by offering replacement parts (not Delonghi). "
van (philly): "I've had this pasta maker for 9 months and used it regularly over that period. Overall, it does what it is supposed to do. However, there are two major problems. First, two parts broke for seemingly no reason other than poor design and quality. The mixing bowl cracked on my first use and it took at least four months to get a replacement from DeLonghi. Recently the housing for the extruder shattered. I also lost one small part and had to wait months for a replacement part from DeLonghi. Overall it seems like there are too many parts, making it overcomplicated to clean and assemble, and the parts are of poor quality. The second major problem is that, the way dough is extruded through the circular feeding tube, the pasta easily falls together and sticks. You can work hard to keep the individual strands of pasta floured and separated---but isn't this supposed to be a machine that makes thing easier? Since buying this machine, I have also purchased the Kitchenaid stand mixer with the pasta roller and cutter attachments and feel this is just infinitely easier to use and produces much nicer pasta, particularly for flat pasta shapes such as fettuccine and spaghetti. I also ordered the ravioli shape for the DeLonghi and it produced sheets that were simply too small to work with. The Kitchenaid makes nice, wide sheets and you can adjust the dough thickness to meet your needs. Note that the extrusion machines (and also the extrusion attachment for the Kitchenaid) are your only options if you want to make shapes like macaroni. "

S. Hayes (Bisbee Arizona): "I'm just sitting down to a bowl of linguine made with the cracked pepper recipe - tossed it with olive oil, garlic, and clams - and I am very, very happy. I only made a half recipe (which, by the way, works fine) and it really took no time at all. I find it much easier to use than the pasta maker attachment for my Cuisinart food processor. Does the pasta look like I bought it at the store? No. Do I care? No. I can't wait to try out all the other disks. In a few words: I love it!."
Joanne L. Mergenthaler (Wilmington, DE USA): "In my home we prefer homemade pasta. The pasta maker attachment allows me to make fresh pasta whenever we want it, and it tastes alot better the store bought. Plus it cooks a whole lot faster"
Mom4K (Utah): "Ok, I got this attachment because I wanted to make homemade, preservative free, whole wheat pasta. It works!
My prior pasta making experience is limited to rolling out by hand and cutting with a pizza cutter. (Something I would do for chicken noodle soup but too time consuming for anything much larger.) Consequently, I can't campare it to other pasta making methods.
I have found that there has been a bit of a learning curve. Dough that is the right consistency (not too dry, not too sticky) goes through the machine easily and clean up is not too hard either. (The machine can be cleaned and put away before the pasta is done cooking.)
Is it the best way to make pasta? I don't know. But my experience has not been as bleak as some of the poor reviews on this site. If you are willing to take a little time to learn a new trick, it might just work for you.
I like it.
In a nutshell: So far...So GOOD!."
Susan Wright (Indianapolis): "Hang in there- a little practice for dough consistency goes a long way with this attachment. The noodles are thicker than the thinnest settings of a manual pasta machine, but this is so quick and easy I can decide to have pasta at the last minute! Be sure to toss noodles in corn meal to keep them separate. Fresh macaroni and cheese, chicken and fresh noodles - great uses for this sturdy pasta. I recommend semolina flour. My conclusion: Good hearty pasta."

MT (Michigan): "I was looking forward to this attachment making the process of pasta making a lot easier, rather than using the hand crank models. I am very disappointed in this attachment. I used the plain pasta recipe that came along with the attachment. You have to spend a lot of time breaking the dough into small enough pieces (the size of a grape) to fit into the attachment. You would hope that the small enough pieces would go thru easily, but they don't. You have to push them in somewhat. What is worse is that you can only put a couple pieces at a time. Too many and the attachment doesn't work well at all. Had to keep pulling the pasta out of it. The finished pasta pieces that came out of the attachment all stuck together. Lot of time pulling pasta apart. Cleanup is horrible. I spent more time trying to pick pasta out of every little nook and cranny than I did making the pasta. Actually ended up throwing the pasta out because it just looked awful. Going to try again but I have a feeling I will be pulling my old stainless steel hand crank model back out. "
T. Sager (San Clemente, CA): "I purchased this pasta maker as an acessory to my Cuisinart stand mixer. The mixer performs flawlessly, but sad to say the pasta maker does not. I have tried various recipes of egg pasta dough but anything then the lasagna noodles it is way to difficult to keep the pasta separate. Also extruded pasta in much denser then rolled pasta. This creates a much more chewy and dense pasta since the past is forced under pressure throught the plates. I will go back to the traditional Atlas pasta roller for much more easier and light pasta. Also it is very difficult to clean the area around the fixed metal bushing inside the feed tube without a special tool or long straight bristle brush. My conclusion: Extrusion pasta makers perform very poorly!."

Barbara J. Ray (Miami, Florida United States): "I probably shouldn't rate this product with a 1 star because I haven't tried it - it may work beautifully and produce an exceptional product. HOWEVER - the instructions for the various usages simply are NOT there. So, I am returning the pasta maker without ever using it. I need to know how to work something before I can use it. I would suggest IF you want to purchase a related product - rather than relying on what you'd receive sight unseen - you go to a local store and check out the instructions in person before you purchase the item. I KNOW that's what I'm going to do - AFTER I make the trip to the post office!!!"
Now you can make even, flat sheets, knead 2 colors together or simply soften FIMO Soft or FIMO Classic polymer clay
Techniques such as marbling and slab working become easier and faster when the clay is rolled through a pasta machine
Seven thickness settings, sturdy stainless steel construction and removable crank for easy storage
Note: after the pasta machine has been used with FIMO, it should not be used with food

Anonymous customer (Albany, OR): "Today was the first day I used my "pasta" machine and I couldn't walk away!!!! This machine, made by AMACO (THE clay people), *IS* designed for polymer clay. I noticed the only other review to date was from someone that doesn't even OWN one, so how could they possibly know?
Conditioning my clay was so relaxing and VERY easy. My hands are getting a little stiff with age, and I want to save them for sculpting, not conditioning. My [...] daughter loved conditioning the clay also and didn't want to stop either.
The consistancy from a "pasta" machine is superior to trying to roll by hand. If you want to coat items like bottles, bowls, etc... you will LOVE this machine. Great to prep for stamping and you can even use some of the thinner texture plates IN the machine. Although I have not tried that technique yet, Amazon has plenty of polymer clay books that cover it.
One word of warning..... don't watch TV while conditioning your clay.... you could condition a finger by mistake! LOL
I am really pleased with the quality of my new tool and I have made a permanent place for it in my art studio.
I highly recommend giving it a try.... for CLAY.... duh... NOT pasta. ; )"
Dave Millman (San Jose, CA USA): "We purchased this product from a craft store. It has performed exactly as advertised. I attach no credibility to the previous review, as the reviewer seemed to have no experience with the product. They may never have seen it.
We use this product with polymer clay to make craft projects at home. It has an adjusting knob to set the clay thickness, down to very thin. If you ever got tired of kneading clay before using it, try a pasta machine: no more kneading!
What prevented this from being a 5-star review is that there are some hidden places underneath the rollers that need to be cleaned after using dark-colored clay. Otherwise, some dark clay may smear light colors. But the cleaning process is simple, just run a cloth back and forth under the rollers as you turn them.
I contacted the company with a question, and they were very responsive. I would be happy to purchase this product again. Bottom line: Good product, good company."
Julz (USA): "This pasta machine is great! Very easy to use! My snowflake ornaments were done in a flash! My conclusion: Love it!."
Dave Millman (San Jose, CA USA): "We got tired of kneading clay, so we bought this pasta maker. We are very glad that we did!
This machine makes super-thin clay sheets, which are ideal for rolling into canes for all kinds of special polymer clay projects. Thin, uniform sheets are the key for many kinds of beads, canes and projects. Take a look in any polymer clay book and you will see all the applications.
The only downside of this machine is that you must clean it carefully after using a dark color of clay, before using a light color. Otherwise, you will end up with small pieces or color from the dark clay in the light clay. Cleaning is easy: just run a cloth on the top and bottom of the rollers while turning the crank.
We like this product a lot. "
Caitlin Schultz (Minnesota, USA): "I bought one of these for myself for $10 on Black Friday at JoAnn's, and contrary to just about every other review on here, I love mine. I've had it for about three months now, and I still have not had any problems with it; nothing has broken off or come loose, and it came in good, working condition and still works that way now. I use it to work and knead my clay before using it, and it really helps to soften it and make it easier to use. It also works good for blending clays together and making sheets without having to roll them out by hand.
I only have a few complaints about this machine. For one, I'll occasionally get small pieces of clay stuck in it after rolling out clay, which sometimes end up getting blended into the next color I roll through it, which is a bit annoying. Also, it's nice that this has nine different width settings, but I wish that there was a setting that was maybe one size bigger. You can roll out super thin pieces, which is great, but I wish that there were a few settings that were slightly larger.
All in all, though, I do really love this pasta machine, especially for getting it for only $10. Based on my experience with this product, I would definitely recommend it, although I think it's good to take everyone else's reviews into consideration and use a little discretion when picking yours out (maybe buy it from a store and take a peek inside the box first to make sure everything looks how it should?). My conclusion: Good quality pasta machine for the price.."

B. Fields (Texas): "I bought this machine at Michael's (craft store) for use with Polymer Clay. The machine was very poorly made and broke on the second day of use! The "clamp" that helps hold it to the table did not fit properly so I had to borrow some of my husband's clamps so it wouldn't move around....but then, while using it, the dials (that gauge the thickness of the clay) completely broke.
I returned it and am going to get a nicer Atlas machine. Don't waste your time with this one....you'll only be disappointed and frustrated with it! My conclusion: Terrible quality...."
Mae (NC): "Purchased this at Michael's the other day. Handle does not attach very well to the machine, as several other reviewers have noted. It sits in a very shallow hole with mere notches to "hold" it in place. But I could deal with that, if it weren't for the way this machine catches and traps clay in the flanges and behind the rollers. After carefully conditioning the clay and flattening it prior to rolling, no matter how I rolled and rerolled it chunks of the clay sheet would get caught in and behind the flanges. My clay sheet ripped in half several times, and I had to stop to carefully dig out clay that got wedged way back behind the rollers (how aggravating! and I was not rolling the rollers backwards, either.) The flanges always caught and marred the feeding edge of the sheet. I don't recommend this pasta machine at all. In a few words: low quality....disappointed.."
Anonymous customer: "The pasta maker forms clay sheets OK, but the cheap plastic handle broke off of it the first time used."
jtj: "I picked up one of these the other day at JoAnn Fabric because my hands were getting very sore from conditioning clay manually. When I took it out of the box something was rattling inside. Five minutes after use, one of the screws fell out, then the cap on the crank fell off a few minutes later. I packed it up and took it back to JoAnn the next day, and, fortunately, they were happy to exchange it for a new one.
Unfortunately, the new one was no better. It did not rattle when it first came out of the bag, but it started falling apart after I had been using it for less than half an hour. All four of the screws that hold the machine to its base had totally stripped out. Undeterred, I took the base to the hardware store to find some larger screws that would hold it together. I repaired it, and it worked just fine for all of about 15 minutes before the screws started falling out again.
This thing is made of pot metal, which is too weak to even hold the screws into the base. Unless you enjoy buying progressively larger screws each time you want to use it, I suggest saving up to buy a clay machine that can stand up to actual use. Don't waste your money on this one--mine will be going back yet again."
Felix (California): "I bought this pasta roller new on ebay, for using with clay. Big mistake! I've been trying to get something decent out of it for a week and it's pretty much useless.
1. The Big Problem: The rollers are misaligned. So at every setting, sheets are thick on one side, thin on the other. Any roller setting thinner than 3 is completely useless because it rolls the clay so thin on one side it just sticks to the roller and bunches up under the cutting blade.
2. Probably due to #1, it makes lots of grindy noises when I'm trying to use it, gets stiff then loose, and generally produces a lumpy "sheet" of clay that looks awful, even at the widest and most-forgiving setting.
3. The crank fits so loosely it falls out constantly - pretty much every time I let go of it. The handle is thin plastic, and since I have tile floors it has now busted completely off. Even if it hadn't broken, fishing the handle off the floor every five seconds gets really old really fast when you're in the middle of a project.
4. The overall look and feel is very cheap. It feels flimsy. I would be shocked if it were able to last more than a few months of regular use, even if it were not crooked. If you use a pasta roller often enough to invest in one, you need one that will last longer/better than this one.
I'll be junking this one and buying something better-made. Fortunately I didn't pay much for it. To sum up: Horrible quality."

GalaxieBleu (Texas): "Please notice this pasta machine for clay is the Amaco brand that has been getting bad reviews by clay crafters (including myself). So check out the reviews on the Amaco Pasta Machine for Clay before purchasing this from this craft company or the others that sell it. I did not purchase this product from Amazon or from JoAnns, but do know that it does deserve the bad reviews that it has been getting here."
JAMIE (CALIFORNIA): "Ok, i havent bought the thing yet, but i can tell that it will not work that good. Pasta Machine is for pasta, clay is for clay machine. So please think about getting a real pasta machine for your pasta needs!"
Giasa (USA): "I had bought this machine a few months ago and used it for the second time yesteray, since I did not have much time during the summer to "play" with clay. The setting wheel for the thickness broke after I had run a sheet of clay through several times and now the machine is useless. I had properly warmed and conditioned the clay before running it through the machine (so that was not the problem.) Due to the high cost of the recommended Atlas pasta machines, I had opted to buy this cheaper model. Well, it would have been better to save that money and buy a better quality machine later."
Chasmodai: "Not good for the polymer clay enthusiast. When you are ready to create, you don't need to deal with the frustration of this machine.
It's cheap as pasta machines go, but still a complete waste of money.
There is nothing worse than being in the "polymer clay zone," running the conditioned clay through your machine, getting it ready to sculpt, and having the clay disappear into the machine, get caught, and not come out the other end. I followed the instructions meticulously. This happened the 2nd time I used the product.
I had to dig the clay out, and as I did, I realized the metal under the rollers had bent. The metal is about as soft as tin foil. I straightened it, but it's useless. The clay just goes in the top and gets stuck.
My other pasta machine was nearly impossible to clean, but it never bent.
I just wish I read the other reviews before I threw my money away.
