Title: Incredibly poorly made
Product review: After 15 years, my Atlas pasta machine gave up the ghost, so I replaced it with this one. What a mistake. The directions state that you should run a batch of dough through the machine to remove any residual grit left over from factory assembly. But, the amount of machine oil and dirt being removed was incredible. I ran two batches through and was still found large amounts of oil and dirt coming out. Further, the dough began sticking to the machine and wouldn't go through fully. I don't know if this was due to the amount of residual factory oil in the machine or not, but it made a real mess. I spent about 1/2 hour with a toothpick cleaning it out.Worse, during the second batch I noticed that chrome was flaking off the rollers.At that point, I gave up and returned the machine. I've since gone and bought another Atlas pasta maker. After running dough through it once, I seem to have gotten all the factory dirt out, and it's working just fine now.
