Pasta machine motor--worth the $ ?
I was wanting some opinions on whether or not I should get a motor for
my new pasta machine. I used to have a Trattorina, which (as far as I know) can't be fitted w/ a motor, so I have never worked w/ one. Is it worth the extra money, or should I save the money and buy some other gadget? How loud are they? How much of a time-saver are they? How long do they last (am I likely to burn one out while conditioning clay, in other words)? Any words of wisdom would be very much appreciated. TheDormouse |

yes, they are worth it
some brands are noisier than others most will last years as far as i know (which is good because they aren't cheap!)

I ADORE mine!!! Since I am working on my next half century, the arms, and
particularly the wrists, elbows, joints, etc., aren't what they use to be. Rolling the clay 10 to 100 times through the machine actually was so painful for me that I quit doing the clay. Then I invested in a motor (and it is true that they are not cheap...although I think I paid less than $50 on eBay for mine.) Hallelujah!!! Not only is it easier on this old body...the time saved is extraordinary! So, yes, speaking for myself alone, it was a terrific investment!

I am VERY very sorry I waited so long to buy a motorized pasta machine. Well
worth every cent, used heavily for several years-----as much easier as the PM is rather than hand rolling with a rod, the pm with mortor is that much better again. Get one if you can.
