PastalineManual Dough Sheeter Machine - Sfogliafacile XL Manual Pasta Maker for Icing, Marzipan and Puff Pastry | Easy Install Dough Sheeter Machine for Home or Small Commercial Kitchens

I am a home baker, and I don't run a business. The first thing was, no instructions, no recipes. You would not think that that is important, but it is. The sheeter is solidly constructed, and it has a handle on the side that allows you to get repeatable thicknesses. It is very easy to turn. My first 2 tries were failures. Pizza dough ripped up in the machine. Danish did the same. My third try on pizza dough was much better. The thing is, if you know your dough, take it in small steps. Make sure that the dough is not too loose. In the end, I can see me putting away the rolling pin for a long time. By the way, with the weight of the machine, if you set it on dycem, it will not move, and you don't have to use the clamps.

Took forever to arrive but was worth the wait. Also has to pay customs duties aside from shipping fees separately. Works very well and very sturdy. Used for rolling dough pastry but yet to try fondant. Super heavy!

I will be HAPPY to revise my rating once I am contacted by the store. This item was ordered then was told it was out of stock and would be a significant delay in shipping. I had ordered it in time for a big event and needed this to make several items, it did not arrive in time but I still needed this item and plan to use it long term, IF I can figure out how to properly use it. The above states ....."Manual Chocolate Modelling Machine Made in Italy Directions in English". What arrived was a manual with ONLY DIRECTIONS IN ITALIAN. Which is absolutely worthless to me. I think but can't tell but this is meant to go from 12 mm to 0 mm but there are more than 13 eyelets or holes to take the roller thickness down and I can't even by doing some deduction if it goes down by 1 mm increments 1/2 mm increments....there should be 26 holes if so or 13 but the holes are only 21 , so HOW does that translate to 0 to 12 mm??? Does anyone who uses this item, have a better understanding of this item? I need items at products at 3 mm thick and 6 mm thick and would appreciate any thoughts anyone might have. I have contacted LaGondola.it./Pastaline and if I can get clarification AND an ENGLISH user's manual I'll be happy to revise my rating up. It IS a heavy duty item, seems very well built and I do believe it will offer many years of exceptional service. You can tell it's quality made but it is not intuitive. I would have expected for the price, like other's I've viewed, to have the mm markings highlighted with number and not just holes so that you could easily and quickly make products without guessing or wondering or trying to measure or just roll the dough out then using a ruler to evaluate the dough thickness. This is definitely a design flaw and poor customer/user experience in both the short and long term.

This fondant sheeter is amazing, great quality I really love it, well made with very good materials I have it for more than a year and it is perfect, very recommended and the customer service is great, fast shipping.Thank you!

Machine works well when it can be operated by two people simultaneously. It is difficult to try and roll out a large piece of fondant by myself using one hand to hold and manipulate the fondant and the other hand to crank. Just doesn’t work. I tried using a silicone mat to help in doing it by myself but that didn’t work either as the mat would get stuck due to it’s texture. Otherwise, it is a well built machine...just need an assistant to operate which I don’t have.

Very simple to operate. Had to build an extension to the feeder Trey for working with large thin pieces of fondant, but that was very easy. Well worth the cost! Shipping and delivery were exceptional.

This is my first review on any product I purchased. I bought this machine 2 years ago and was so happy I was able to make this investment. Until I got it and tried to use it. It's a kind of sturdy machine, but not useful for a big amount dough, since it doesn't have a big enough feeder tray. You'll need two people to handle the machine and the dough at the same time. Even for a small amount of fondant, when laminated, you'll need help, so you don't break it. Conclusion: I tried to use the machine 3 times and it went back to its original box. Never used it again.

I was extreme happy to see this table top small manual dough sheeter machine seeing at Amazon. I cannot find this type of table manual dough sheeter machine in my country (Asia). I can only find commercial type of dough sheeter machine which cost 4 times the price of this brand Pastaline Stigliafaclie Maxi Dough Sheeter. I can use this machine to start a home bake business to do fondant cake and pastry. I love making croissants, with this machine I am able to adjust the dough thickness. When you are into baking getting a good baking tools is like a dream come true.
