I absolutely love my new pasta maker.  It is easy to use and makes perfect pasta in a fraction of the time.  The only issue may be that a fair amount of dough tends to remain in the unit making the task of taking it apart for cleaning a bit challenging.  I also wish there were more disks available so I could make even more different shaped pasta. Overall, I would recommend this product, especially to beginners, but also to anyone who enjoys eating fresh pasta. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)
