I bought this Roma Express Electric Pasta Machine at the end of May, 2010. I used it once in May and it worked fine. I only made a small amount of pasta at that time. I used it yesterday, August 3rd for the second time. I am sorry to say that it just stopped in the middle of my pasta making. I cannot believe that only after using this machine twice that the motor burned out. I tried letting it rest for a while to see if it would start again. No such luck. The motor burned out after only using this new Electric Pasta Machine twice. I can't send it back because I through away the box after it's first use. I just want others to know that they should save their money on this machine. I have another electric pasta machine that is over ten years old that I gave to my daughter. I had to borrow it back yesterday.

Really cute machine and built well but man is it sloooow! Wow, you can hand crank much faster and easier than this little machine. Great for home use only.

It's slow. It's loud. Most of all, the roller snapped on me after in home use less than half a year.

Not sure how people managed without the electric motor....unless they have 3 arms. Was alot of fun and pasta first time turned out great!

I have been making noodles for years and thought that a motorized machine was the way to go.I was tired of cranking and my back would bother me after a while.The Roma Express Electric Pasta Machine worked on the first smooth rollers to get the pasta thin enough for noodle cutting,but when I went to cut the noodles, the dough would go through the noodle cutting rollers but the dough was not cut into noodles.The dough had marks in it where it should have been cut but was not cut.I was able to pull the dough apart and get noodles but this left a lot of noodles torn.I thought that maybe the dough was to wet,so I waited until the dough the dough was dryer.The dryer dough would not go through the noodle cutting rollers,it felt like it had no gripping action to catch the rollers.I am sure that there is a middle ground for noodle dry to moist.I was so looking forward to not having to crank my noodle machine,that's the way NaNa did it, and she never complained.Sometime the old ways are better.
