Title: Poor Design, Doesn't Last
Product review: I received the CucinaPro 177 Pasta Maker for Christmas. After four uses it is garbage. The machine does not clamp well to the counter which causes two problems: 1) you need an extra person to hold the machine for you while you are running the pasta through and 2) due to the lack of support the mechanisms will bend over time making the machine useless (hence the reason it is now garbage). One other problem with this design is the handle does not snap into place for rolling. If you're not careful the handle will fall out. After repeated landings on my foot this aspect of the machine got very annoying. As with other reviewers I was appalled at the amount of oil on the machine and how much flaking the chrome does, not appetizing. I'm going to look into a KitchenAid machine and get the pasta making attachment.
