I have the brand I'm sure a million other people have, the Marcato Atlas. This is a hand-crank machine and it works very well. I've made a lot of pasta with it and am satisfied with the job that it does for the price. My one complaint is that it is a greasy little devil. It tells you to wipe it down before using and to run a small piece of dough through it to pick up any oil, then throw that piece of pasta away. No matter how many times I use it and do what they say, I get a certain amount of pasta that has a gray grease on it. The problem is tolerable, and as I say, it does a very good job of making the pasta. Just wish it was a little less grubby.
