It is very durable and powerful, and does all the hard work for you. Works very well when used as instructed. Instructions are simple and easy to follow.
The only downfall of this machine is the size and weight. If you like homemade pasta this is the machine to buy. The phillips pasta machine is amazing.

The pasta machine has an odd blend of measurement units. The recipes in the book are in grams. You are supposed to add flour, close the lid, then wait the machine telling you how much water to add.

If i were to make a suggestion however it would be for the manufacturer to produce discs that allow for thinner strands of pappardelle and fettuccine in addition to the ones that come with machine ones you could buy separately if required according to personal taste
