David Burke Grandeur Collection Automatic Pasta Maker

I wanted a pasta maker and wasn’t prepared to shell out $150+ for one. Then came across this listing and figured I’d give it a try. Worst mistake I made that day. The instructions are in broken English and a lot of the words are spelled phonetically. This raised a red flag for me immediately but was able to look past it. Today I was all excited to make my first batch of pasta. I followed the directions listed in the book and the machine started pushing out dry, unmixed crumbles of partially mixed dough. Tried another batch and added a little more water then what they instructed. Maybe a little too much. Machine pushed out sticky wet noodles. Then I said to heck with it and mixed a batch by hand and only used the Manual button feature. Machine wouldn’t even push that pasta out. Save yourself the time and aggravation. Splurge and get the more expensive pasta maker. I had never heard of David Burke until I purchased this machine.... now I know to stay away from anything his name is on. I want my money back!
