My husband got this for me for Christmas and we have used it twice to make pasta- the first time I put mixer on 10 speed and after a few minutes the attachment started spinning around and well, lets just say disaster.  However, tightened the adjustment, turned down the speed (thanks to husband's google search) and proceeded along just fine.  It takes about an hour to press out three cups of dough for those wondering, does a nice job, but a little slower than I would have imagined.  As I work with this, I am hoping to figure out the right ratio of dough in, pressing down on said dough and cutting it out of the press to see if I can expedite the process any.  It has been fun to use otherwise so far! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
