I am a Polymer Clay artist, and I purchased this motor to attach to my pasta machine, which is a very important equipment piece for my work. I have seen older models of this CucinaPro and they are wonderful, and the photograph that is displayed looks just like the older models. But it is not the same in many ways. 1. It is now made out of stainless steel, 2. The bracket is now made out of plastic and not metal, 3. The plug is in the front which gets in the way, where it use to be in the back, 4. There is no longer 2 different speeds to choose from, only one. With shipping costs, I paid $114.00 for this item, and I had expected a much better value for this price. I will use it, keep it, but with disappointment.
The company really should use a recent photo of their product, the one they show now is VERY misleading.
