Customer Review: I've waited so long
Summary: 5 Stars
I won't discuss in detail the myriad of homemade ventures that were undertaken to try to make a 'rack,' (except the dowel rods hanging out of the empty wine bottles, that was pretty good) but will comment that it is almost criminal to not sell this with the pasta machine. Unless you are cooking for one -- not likely after kneeding for 25 minutes -- you're basically at a loss once the first batch comes marching out the machine an onto your arm. 'Where should I put this?' you ask innocently. The answer is that there is no good place anywhere in your kitchen. It will stick to itself and everything else and it will dry improperly and you will be becoming increasingly furious as you basically ruin every other batch. Unless you want to initmately know the anger of a sicilian, buy this.Customer Review: 15 Years And Still Going Strong!

Got a hardy hoot out of the many reviewers who disliked this product! My pasta dryer came free when I bought my Atlas pasta maker about fifteen years ago. This thing is ingenious...really perfect for the job at hand. If you assemble it right the rack just folds up flat and... like others I store the dowels with a rubber band.
I LOVE how easy it is to lay the pasta onto the dowel right from the machine and then drop the pasta from the individual dowels right into the boiling water. It would be very difficult to make pasta with out this handy device. We use it often because we make pasta several times a month and when guests arrive they LOVE to help with the process!
Customer Review: ZERO QUALITY CONTROL!!!

Received the dryer and assembling it would not be a BIG DEAL even through no instructions were included BUT UNBELIEVABLY they also "forget" to drill a hole for the screw to go through one of the feet at attach the base to the upright...well, ok still no biggie IF I HAD A DRILL however the screw needs to be recessed on the underside of base to stand flush so I'd not only have to own a drill BUT a 1/4" circular chuck to recess the scream head into the foot to allow it to stand flush! RIDICULOUS where was the quality control here...more trouble than it's worth to either fix it or send it back! I'd suggest that you buy a dryer you can "see" in a brick and mortar store.Customer Review: Pay twelve dollars for two dollars worth of wood
Summary: 1 Stars
Oh boy. Did I ever get taken with this. I opened the box and out came tumbling an assorted quantity of wooden dowels, frame sticks and cheap screws. Well, I bought it so I might as well put it together. The result is a cheap "pasta dryer" made of cheap wood. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, as they say and you can't make a good product out of wood that looks like it is made from scrap wood. This pasta dryer is flimsy and cheap. Hanging pasta on it is a pain and the wood screws start to rust. I'll be using this stupid thing as firewood for the winter. This product should be taken off Amazon. It is a sham.Customer Review: Pleased and Surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this rack simply because it was the least expensive in the catalog. I was pleased and surprised to find it was all I would need. You get about ten usable feet of hanging space (enough for my 3 cup pasta recipe) and it will collapse flat for storage. I didn't realize from the picture that the dowels lift out easily so you can quickly drape (or fling) your pasta on one dowel at a time. It is possible to receive a rack that is warped (it's made of wood you know) but mine is solid, straight, and sturdy. This rack is well worth the money unless, of course, you don't like pasta.
