1. Item was delivered to my door less than 24 hours after ordering on Amazon Prime, and on a weekend. How does that even happen?2. Works perfectly, looks great, solidly built, a precision machine.3. The suction base is fantastic. A quick turn of the lever and it is locked to my granite counter top and won't budge until lever is released. This means I can use it anywhere in my kitchen, not just on an overhanging ledge. I believe this is the only pasta machine with this patented feature. Definitely a huge plus.4. Rolls dough to any desired thickness. Cuts linguine and thin spaghetti (well, spaghetti with square rather than round cross section) precisely and easily5 Easy clean-up---nothing sticksInsomma, questa macchina è proprio meravigliosa, funziona benissimo, e fa divertente il processo.Additional Note---for accompanying photos. I find that it almost takes three hands to roll the pasta after the dough has been rolled very thin ----one hand to support and feed the delicate sheet of dough into the rollers, one hand to crank, and one to support and guide the rolled sheet as it exits the rollers----so it does't pile up and stick together. This would be true for all hand-crank pasta machines. So I made a simple wooden platform that mounts onto the machine to support and guide the dough toward the rollers. Just lay the sheet down on the inclined platform, slide the end of the dough into the rollers, and crank away. Works perfectly.
