Pinzon 5-9-Inch Pasta Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Over the years, my mom has owned probably 10 different pasta makers and I've owned 3 additional pasta makers of my own. There's a couple of things that can really be frustrating: 1) If the handle falls out a lot. 2) If the clamp doesn't clamp the machine onto the table tight enough. and 3) If the noodle cutter doesn't cut well. Any of those three can make for a really frustrating experience.
The problem with this machine is #1: the handle falls out a lot. The machine is very lightweight and doesn't feel as if it's made that well and the thickness adjusting knob feels flimsy. But, you have to think about the price you're paying and so I understand that. It's reasonable quality for the price. BUT, the handle doesn't go in all the way on the roller (as far as it should). It only went in about half way on the roller part. And it went in far enough on the angel hair cutter, but not on the fettucine cutter. So, this pasta maker would be really frustrating--because the majority of your turning is the rolling part--making the dough thinner and thinner.
My recommendation is that if you're looking for a good pasta maker that won't frustrate you, then I think you'd be wise to choose a different one. I do know that sometimes there are quality control issues with things and perhaps mine is just defective. So, please read the other reviews to see what the general experience with this pasta maker is.

Clamp this pasta machine to your counter or table edge, choose a setting, and you're ready to turn out fresh homemade pasta. Crank by hand as you feed in your dough to make thin spaghetti or medium-width fettuccine noodles. Made of gleaming stainless steel, the machine's adjustable rollers can press your dough into long sheets (up to 5-1/2 inches wide) in a choice of nine thicknesses. You can then cut the sheets into squares for making ravioli, or longer sections for lasagna. After use, wipe the machine clean or run a damp paper towel or piece of felt through it. Remove the handle and clamp for compact storage. This machine measures approximately 6-1/4 inches high by 7-3/4 inches wide by 8 inches deep (without the handle and clamp). It\'s imported.
