   I love homemade pasta and have always wanted one of these. I got this a few months ago but somehow didn't get around to trying it till recently. This thing is great! I love it. Passing the dough between two rollers multiple times, each time reducing the size of the gap between the rollers works really well and is much easier than doing this with a rolling pin, which is how I've been doing it for years. I expected the dough to stick or get hung-up at the sides of the rollers but it really did not. The points of contact between dough and metal are quite limited and you can easily see if anything is stuck and clear with a toothpick or something. After you roll out sheets then you pass them through one of two included cutters - fettucine or spaghetti. I have only used the fettucine cutter so far. Works smoothly and easily and the blades are sharp and precise. There is a bit of a knack to getting the right amount of moisture in the dough and handling the dough after it comes out of rollers and cutters without it sticking to itself. It would probably be easier with another person to pull out the finished sheets and noodles but I managed fine solo. The results were delicious. I am going to experiment with whole wheat flour next.

   Very easy to assemble, use, and clean. Homemade pasta is WAY better than store bought, so you need this if you eat lots of pastas.

   I bought this as a gift for my cousin who loves to make home made noodles, but has never had any kind of pasta machine. She used it for the first time today, and when she started using it, her boyfriend was watching and essentially took over making the noodles because he wanted to "play" with the new toy. It worked beautifully. The thickness of all the noodles was uniform, as was the width. My cousin is happy because now she will only be doing the mixing of the dough. Her boyfriend will do the rest, quite happily since he gets to play.

   This is a solid machine. I appreciate the manual that comes with it for the recipe but it was unclear as far as what kind of cutter I had gotten. I watched some videos online though and that greatly helped. My kids love turning the crank for me. My five-year-old son gets a little too excited and the crank ends up popping out a lot for him. With some guidance he is figuring it out though. Rolling the dough was very easy. I struggled for a few batches with the cutting mechanism. The dough kept getting stuck in the edges and cleaning out that gunk was not easy! I figured out that this was not an issue with the machine but rather I needed to let the flattened dough rest for longer and add more flour to the flattened dough to dry it out before cutting. Once I made those changes this cut beautifully. I am in love with home-made pasta now! This machine makes it so easy! This particular cutter makes spaghetti and fettuccini noodles but I use a pizza slicer to make lasagna noodles as well. Clean up is a breeze as you just need to brush it off. I use a thick paint brush from my kids' art set. :)

   After rolling and cutting pasta by hand for a year i decided to invest in this pasta machine. Great choice! Rolls well, cuts great. I'm very happy. Word of information. You will need to make 2-3 batches of pasta and run thru the machine before first use. There is oil and metal that need to be worked out of the machine thru the first few uses and you won't want to eat those batches of pasta. To me this is a normal part of the manufacturing process and the instructions with the unit are clear on this point. Also of note, do not wash this in water. It will not be possible to remove the water from all areas of the unit and you'll get rust and grinding gears. I see no reason to use water. Fresh pasta (flour and egg) will dry after a few hours and will easily fall out (or use a toothpick) from the unit. Getting it wet will only make it harder to get the pasta crumbs out. Some may find this annoying, but i do not. Compared to rolling large quantities by hand it's much preferred to us the pasta machine!

   I bought this just because I always wanted a pasta maker. Just because. Since purchasing it, it has become my most used (essential) kitchen apliance. It has good solid construction with a nice weighty feel to it. The crank turns the rollers easily. And the wood handle is a nice little touch. Many reviewers of the imperia pasta maker seem to feel that getting the motor for it is important. I don't see the point. This pasta maker is easy enough to operate by hand. And, in my opinion, more worth while to do so.

   I love this pasta maker! I had bought a cheaper pasta maker before this one thinking that all pasta makers were the same. It was such a disaster! The other pasta maker didn't cut the noodles properly, the dough would get stuck in the rollers... I decided to give imperia pasta maker a try and what a difference it makes! I was able to use less flour, have more consistency rolling it out, and the fettuccini and spaghetti cutters worked perfectly, cutting gorgeous strips of pasta that look like they came right out of an Italian kitchen. (If you're a beginner at making pasta, give yourself a few practice rounds, there's a learning curve for making pasta, but anyone can do this!) I got the model that is one piece and it stores away really nice. This unit it like a dream! Don't waste time struggling in the kitchen with cheap knock offs, buy imperia pasta makers the first time!
