Lovely, easy to use pasta machine
This is my first time ever even seeing a pasta machine. I got it for polymer clay but I'm sure it would work just as well on pasta. The box was in good condition. The pasta maker is lovely. I love the red. It feels very sturdy except the dial where you set the thickness feels a little wobbly once you pull it out. That may be a normal thing that I wouldn't know because I've never used a pasta machine before. I took it out of the box, glanced at the booklet - basically, what is the thickest setting? Then I put the handle on and clamped it to my counter easy peasy. No instructions needed. However, the instruction booklet does have instructions for making the pasta as well as how to use the machine. I ran some Fimo clay scraps I had through it and it flattened it molto bene (I do not speak Italian but I thought that little bit of Italian was fun. I got it from google translate). The handle fell off a couple times while I was turning it but that might be a me issue since I didn't read instructions. It went back in easily so I won't knock off a star. It was super fun to see my clay go in an ugly lump and come out a nice slab. I chose this one because it had good reviews and was not too expensive at $29.97. I'm overall very happy with this little machine and I know I will put it to good use.

Good for a beginer
This is good for a beginner, which I was. This got me through the learning curve of pasta, but it was not very study when mounted to the counter and the crank was hard to turn and got easily jammed up. Cleaning was almost impossible, any bit that got caught you had to wait for it to dry and harden then try to loosen them and shake them out from the inside.

Homemade Pasta Has Never Been This Fun!
I didn’t know pasta night could get this exciting until I got the GOURMEX manual pasta maker. The stainless steel design feels solid and professional, and the adjustable thickness settings let me experiment with everything from delicate angel hair to hearty fettuccine.Setup was a breeze, and the hand crank is smooth and easy to use—even my kids love helping out. It’s become a weekend ritual to roll out fresh dough and create pasta from scratch. The results? Restaurant-quality noodles that cook beautifully and taste amazing.If you’re ready to ditch boxed pasta and elevate your kitchen game, this machine is a must-have. Durable, intuitive, and surprisingly satisfying to use.
