I have always had a Imperia pasta maker, but on my last move, it just got lost. I bought this one thinking it was new (that's what was stated in the ad). The box was all torn, and when I went to use it, I had to clean all the flour that was stuck in the crevices. It took awhile, but I was worth it. Overall, the machine is in good condition. I will be buying different cutters for my machine. I've made fresh linguini with clam sauce, and it was delicious!
It is a good quality machine. I am replacing one of those you always see advertised. After being so disappointed with that one, I purchased this one. No complaints now.
