I have been able to use this press twice. The first time it was OK, the handle that you squeeze to press the dough wears on your hands after a few. Also had some issues with the design inserts popping out through the front of the press. The second time we used it we had the same issues except this time the plastic piece that pushes the dough out bent and made the press almost completely useless. Spend a little more and get an all metal press if you are interested in getting some value for your money.
