Rating: - This machine was a big waste of money
Where should I begin well, I just went through my second machine! The first didn't last a year and me being stupid I thought that maybe I had a defective one so I got another because my family and I love fresh pasta. Well I have not even had this machine two months and i threw it out when I was trying to prepare dinner tonight and I finally had it! First off when you are mixing it spins in the direction to unlock the face plate and you have to take it apart and take all the dough out to get it back together! That usually fixed it but happened 3-4 times while mixing then it would stick and click really loud so i again took all the dough out and tried spliting it in half so it would not have as much in it to see if that would work well of course not! This machine is a waste of money and time! If you read this and still want to buy it youd save some time just throwing your money straight in the trash!

Rating: - Loved it when it worked
I had this machine for about 6 months and used it for making so many different wonderful types of pasta. It was actually fun to use and I was impressed with the quality and taste of the pasta. I used liquids such as champagne to make delicious fresh pasta that I even gave as gifts. Then...the machine cracked. The circular piece on the machine that held the extrusion die in place broke but the worst of it was that I could NOT contact the company for a replacement. I called week after week hunting down any number I could find for them to no avail. No one ever answered and I could not leave a message. Finally, I threw in the towel and threw out the machine. Too bad that customer service for such a marketed company can be so non-existent.

Rating: - Badly manufactured parts-- never used it
Interesting machine, looked well built, sturdy and easy to clean. Video that came with it explains everything in detail. Unfortunately right out of an undamaged box -- the lid, mixing bin and face plate (all clear plastic) had multiple cracks that penetrated both sides around all holes. It was my assumption that under the strain of use these cracks would only worsen and render the unit un-useable (except as a paperweight). Immediately sent for new parts and after waiting over 30 days the replacements were also cracked in the same locations and the mixing bin was of a different model and would not fit the motor base. Popeil does not answer e-mails or faxes, but did have luck on the phone in getting through. They wanted to send a new motor base and all new plastic parts again, but could not guarantee them to be free of manufacturing defects. In disgust, I was given a full refund and sent it back postage pre-paid to the seller -- who admitted that this item has had problems. Still want a pasta maker and there are several available such as Simax MX-700, but do not want to go through the hassle again with a defective product such as the Popeil unit.
