We lost our old pasta maker handle so we got this new one to make pesto pasta with our garden basil! It assembles in seconds and does what it is supposed to do! This one only makes spaghetti size or fettuccini size pasta. I think the more expensive ones make ravioli and other pasta sizes but we just wanted the simple stuff so this worked perfectly for us! It has high reviews and the cheapest price. So far it seems like it works like our old one that we had for years. The only quality issue might be that the knob you turn to change the setting on the thickness seems a little cheaper, like it could snap eventually…but after two uses it has been great.
