Title: Good value and no problems
Product review: So far, so good. Based off of previous reviews, the first time I opened the package, I soaped and rinsed the roller and attachments. My first batch of pasta turned out well, and I didn't see any metal shards or anything of concern like some people mentioned. I think it smells slightly- from oil coating the gears, but maybe it will go away with time. I didn't smell it on the pasta so I think it's separate from the teeth. I found the crank to move smoothly and easily.This is my first pasta machine, so I don't know how it compares to the others (like the Atlas) but I find it works well and it is simple to use. The only annoying part is that pasta bits can get stuck in the teeth, but I found that I could remove everything by spearing the dough with a toothpick since I didn't have a stiff pastry brush. It's probably a common problem for any pasta machine.
