 I've used them and really enjoyed the pasta that I made with it, but you should
be sure that the person is going to use it enough to justify having it around.
You can make pasta just using a rolling pin, but it's much harder to do, and
takes a good deal of time. Even using the rolling machine, it takes a while and
you have to pass it through the machine in several passes to get dough to
become thin enough and yet not tear or rip.
  It's not a trivial process, however I only did it a couple of times. I made
the noodles for a "pasta party" I had this summer.  And, I do have to admit, 
the homemade noodles disappeared very quickly, and they were very tasty in
dishes such as pasta alfredo (sp?).
