Makin\'s Professional Ultimate Clay Extruder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this because I decorate cakes with fondant and gumpaste. It's very hard to find the right tools in my area so I have to improvise. I use this tool to create different edible objects for cakes.
It's easy to use but a little time consuming. The press is like a screw...instead of just pumping the material out, you have to twist, and twist, and twist. The discs are great; you can create so many things!!
It is hard to clean, but my standards of clean are probably a little higher since it's being used for food.
Overall, I would say it is a good investment for me.

Lello 2720 Pastamaster 2200 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did a great deal of research on the internet before buying an automatic pasta maker. I couldn't spend a fortune, but I wanted the best quality machine I could afford. I read too many reports of broken plastic extrusion discs, motors that burned out, etc. I learned that the Simac, Delonghi and Lello products were all related (so the quality of the older Simac brand seemed to be carried on in the newer Delonghi and Lello brands). I liked their metal extrusion discs and the durability of them. I felt a 2 lb capacity was ideal. I bought this one.
I was not disappointed. I had read a great deal on the internet that the trickiest part is getting the dough consistency right. Most (if not all) of the negative reviews of all pasta machines center around this problem. When trying to decide which machine to buy, I do not recommend being influenced by reviews that focus entirely on this issue - that complaint is all about user error and has nothing to do with the quality or reliability of the machine. (Experienced makers of home made pasta need to understand that the dough will need to be a different consistency in this machine than when done the manual way.) I measured carefully and read the machine instructions very carefully (they bend over backwards to help you with this) and I didn't have any trouble getting pasta dough to extrude. I found that a 2lb capacity is more than I needed for a family of 3. I also felt that having metal extrusion discs is valuable in that when you trim the dough as it extrudes, you really run your knife against that metal a lot (in order to help get a clean cut). I can imagine a plastic disc would wear considerably faster under those circumstances. (You literally slice and slice hundreds of times for the smaller pastas - like elbows and such.)
I would highly recommend this machine. I was impressed by its quality and usefulness. You will not regret your purchase with this one.
