This Drip Coffee Machines give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Works great! I'm being gentle with mine, though.
So far, after three uses, I have had no problems with my PastaDrive motor. I do have a couple reservations about giving a 5 star review though:
1. The motor housing is metallic-colored plastic, not metal like one might assume just from looking at the pictures of it online.
2. It does not feel extremely sturdy.
I have been using a rolling pin to get my dough almost as thin as the "0" setting before I roll it out with the machine. This way, the motor isn't getting stressed to it's maximum capacity -- it sounds like it is struggling if you push the dough through as thick as you would when using the manual crank, which is to say, just patted out with your hands. Frankly, I wish this thing were made with all metal parts, especially as it is so expensive.
2. plastic gears break
I have been making pasta for many years and about 4 years ago I decided to treat myself to a motor for my Atlas machine which was only a few months old at the time (older machine went to grandkids for clay). Needless to say the 3 year warranty is up and last night I was making noodles and the large plastic gear inside the motor broke. I don't use it often so certainly expected a lot more use out of it. Beware....it can happen to you
Need more appointment... ?
Polymer Clay
This works wonderfully with polymer clay! It makes mixing colors a breeze. It used to take me a lot of effort to do it. It doesn't even require a clamp!!! I'm in love.
As for what other reviewers are saying, I hope that the plastic gears stay in place...I'm going to be gentle with it. It doesn't seem fragile to me, but I will be updating my review if I have trouble with it. For now, though? Five stars!!!
