I do not recommend this machine.

It is not sturdy. After using it several times, it broke and I can no longer use it.

You cannot make more than a couple servings at a time; the dough begins to clog up the workings of the machine and it ceases to turn. You have to clean it all off before making more. Cleaning it is not that easy, a lot of parts get a lot of dough on them and you have to dig it out of the nooks and crannies unless you don't mind waiting for your dishwasher to run or for it to dry out so that you can more easily just brush it out.

It makes a horrible loud squealing noise. The manufacturer actually acknowledges that it makes this noise and says that there is nothing wrong when it makes that noise. I disagree, it's a horrible noise and I think it's just another indication that this is not a slick machine.

I'm buying a hand-cranked one to replace this one.
