The first time using the product it got jammed and I have not been able to open the machine up due to its malfunction.
I need to exchange it for a new pasta maker, however, I do not have any of information to do it. It was thrown out by mistake.
Could you please send me information on how to exchange the machine for a new one and then I could be better at rating the product.
 Okay but there are better options February 5, 2007

I've had this pasta maker for 9 months and used it regularly over that period. Overall, it does what it is supposed to do. However, there are two major problems. First, two parts broke for seemingly no reason other than poor design and quality. The mixing bowl cracked on my first use and it took at least four months to get a replacement from DeLonghi. Recently the housing for the extruder shattered. I also lost one small part and had to wait months for a replacement part from DeLonghi. Overall it seems like there are too many parts, making it overcomplicated to clean and assemble, and the parts are of poor quality. The second major problem is that, the way dough is extruded through the circular feeding tube, the pasta easily falls together and sticks. You can work hard to keep the individual strands of pasta floured and separated---but isn't this supposed to be a machine that makes thing easier? Since buying this machine, I have also purchased the Kitchenaid stand mixer with the pasta roller and cutter attachments and feel this is just infinitely easier to use and produces much nicer pasta, particularly for flat pasta shapes such as fettuccine and spaghetti. I also ordered the ravioli shape for the DeLonghi and it produced sheets that were simply too small to work with. The Kitchenaid makes nice, wide sheets and you can adjust the dough thickness to meet your needs. Note that the extrusion machines (and also the extrusion attachment for the Kitchenaid) are your only options if you want to make shapes like macaroni.

I think this is an excellent product. Easy to use and clean. Makes large batches at a time. I thought the price was great compared to other online stores.
