Imperia Duplex Pasta Maker 220

Pros: So easy to use--makes delicious pasta!
Cons: Time consuming (but any home made pasta is that way).

Like some of the other people commenting on this pasta machine, I had always wanted a pasta maker but never got around to purchasing one until a few weeks ago. I am so glad I did! Using this pasta maker and a good recipe, I was able to make a fettucine ...

Cons: Tray falls off easily, optional motor is really needed, clamp doesn't hold machine.

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Wouldn't want to use everyday

I am full blooded Italian and was brought up making homemade noodles and Italian cookies. All of my relatives have this pasta maker. Now that we are all out on our own, my mom thought we all needed our own. I guess she wanted the pasta/cooking making...

Pros: It's fun and EASY!!
Cons: Takes more time than the electric pasta machines
