Summary: Great Drying Rack
Comment: I receieved this as a gift back in June. I've used it many times since then and love it! It is so much better than my old drying rack. This one disassembles and stores easily. Also, it doesn't take much counter space which is always a plus!

Summary: A must Have
Comment: If you make your own Pasta, You need the drying Rack. I started out just making the pasta Sheets and laying it out on the counter until I was ready to cut my Pasta, Trust me, This method takes up ALLOT of Space. The NorPro Pasta Rack makes life So much simpler, and takes up allot less space. Make your Pasta and Hang it until you are ready to cut it, Than you can hang your cut sheets to Dry if needed. if you are handy, It still wouldn't pay to build your own due to the price of this one. it's just a Simple Well thought out tool that dosen't require a Second Mortgage on the Home.

Summary: Simple idea that works great
Comment: I got this drying rack when I got the Kitchen Aid pasta roller attachment for my mixer. The rack is inexpensive, works well, and comes apart easily for storage. What more could I ask for? I only make enough pasta for 4 to 6 people at a time. If you make large quantities, you might want a drying rack with more arms.

Summary: Great space-saving solution
Comment: I love the mind that figured this one out. There's plenty of pasta-hanging area in a small space. Also, I love that I can take the whole thing apart and put it back in the box and keep it where I keep trays...easy storage.
I did, however, get one that only had three holes drilled in it, rather than the four that it's supposed to have. For the price I can drill the fourth hole....I just have to get the right angle. I didn't return it because I was making pasta and wanted to use it right away.
As another reviewer stated, the holes for the dowels are a little sloppy so the dowels slide out when removing the pasta, but I found that to be good because I just slip a wooden spoon handle under the pasta and slide the dowel out for easier removal of the dried pasta from the stand.

I love this dryer.... inexpensive and very useful....and much better than propping sticks between the backs of chairs.

Summary: I replaced it :-(
Comment: The dowels did not fit firmly in the holes, so that they would slide when I was taking pasta on and off. Also, it does not store well, if one takes the dowels out, you need a rubber band or something to attach them to the post so you don't loose them. I'm afraid I got rid of it and replaced it with one of the ones where all the (plastic) arms spiral out, and the tripod feet retract in straight -- and that has tucked into the center pole a really handy rod for hanging and unhanging the noodles, which I find surprisingly useful.

However, if you were thinking about getting it, and storage is not an issue for you, and you don't mind fooling with it a little bit to get the dowels to stay firmly in place, there's no reason you wouldn't be happy with it.

Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Dryer
When shopping for a new clothes dryer, look for one with a moisture sensor that automatically shuts off the machine when your clothes are dry. Not only will this save energy, it will save wear and tear on your clothes caused by over-drying. Keep in mind that gas dryers are less expensive to operate than electric dryers. The cost of drying a typical load of laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 25 cents in a gas dryer.
Choosing Appliance -> Servicing Your Appliance
Buying this "service deal" can be expensive but if you feel happier knowing that you are protected from breakdown for a few years, shop around insurance brokers to see how prices compare.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Maintain Electrical Safely
The insulation on electrical cords can become damaged by wear, flexing, or age. Do not use any cord that is stiff or cracked. Some clues that you may have an electrical problem are:
  • Flickering lights. If the lights dim every time you turn on an appliance that circuit is overloaded or has a loose connection.
  • Sparks. If sparks appear when you insert or remove a plug, they could be a sign of loose connections.
  • Warm electrical cord. If an electrical cord is warm to the touch, the cord is underrated or defective.
  • Frequent blown fuses or broken circuits. A fuse or circuit breaker that keeps tripping is an important warning sign of problems.
  • Frequent bulb burnout. A light bulb that burns out frequently is a sign that the bulb is too high a wattage for the fixture.
