Norpro Pasta Machine, Silver 5" x 8" x 5"

This pasta machine is the same great quality as the one (same make and model) that I purchased many years ago. The only difference was the price. I was extremely pleased with the price of this machine. Since it was listed at about half of the price I paid for my original machine, over 20 years ago, I was afraid that it would be made with cheaper materials. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that this machine is exactly the same quality as the one I purchased so long ago.

Purchased as a gift. She loves it says works great.

great little machine for pasta. The instructions suck, but you can figure it out. DO NOT RUN WATER OVER IT TO CLEAN!!!!!!!!!! let it sit for 1-2 hours before cleaning with a brush. the pasta particles will brush out because they are dry then. no need for water. it can damage the unit otherwise. I was quit impressed with this little guy. the inside gears are metal not plastic so it will last unlike some other brands. arrived brand new in the box. VERY HAPPY! my next purchase might be the motor for this, but thats pricey.

Works like a charm..if you use it with repect. I have used it to make many noodles (remember...the dough has to 'rest' for a while for it to be ready to use, I cut the dough into comfortable sized pieces (about the sixe of a 2 to 21/2 inch ball), and keep them in a small bowl, with a loger bowl inverted over it, until I am ready for the next process. The dough rolls well if the constancy of fresh PlayDough. After rolling out the dough, before cutting, I let it lie on the floured board to dry a bit before running through the cutters. Roll a ball of doush into strips...let dry while you roll the nest ball. Then cut the noodles from the first strips, turn the second set of rolled dough over and let it rest while you roll the nest ball of dough... that that dry/rest, while you cut the preceding strip. Remember to keep a shaker of flour handy to dust the strips as you work.I also use the noodle roller to roll out dough to cut for my pierogie press, and pie crust for individual sized pies.I admit to using my food processor to make the dough quickly, and avoid time consuming kneading.By the way...In Old English Cookbooks you will find recipes for "Duff". Duff was spelled that way, and pronounced as spelled, just remember the way we pronounce "enough" as we look at Dough and Duff. Duff could be as simple as a flour/water paste used to seal the top of a crock for cooking, or the Duff used to make meat pies (penny pies, Pasties), the early "Take+away" in late 18th and 19th Century London street venders.I shudder to think of the Duff used for the penny pies baked by Mrs Lovitt with the assistance of Sweeney Todd.All in all, a nicely priced and very easy to use itme.It carries my personal seal of approval!

I got this to help with my polymer clay & it has been great so far & easy to use!

Let me pre phase by saying I usually am a fan of Norpro, however, this isn’t it.1. Item arrived with a return label on it, meaning someone previously purchased it and returned it.2. The clamp for the machine is dysfunctional. No matter how tight the clamp is, the clamp moves because there isn’t a proper hole to insert the clamp into the machine. I’m not sure if a part was missing or what.3. The crank shaft fell off while I was turning it. This totally could’ve been user error but when I inserted it, I heard it “click” and while I was spinning the shaft it fell off and hit my foot.4. Absolutely defective. 10/10 would not recommend.

The quality is really good at this price.

Super fast delivery. No complaints. And since I'm a beginner this is the perfect machine for me. The issues that I'm having I feel is more operating error
