DoughXpress DM-18-120 Manual 18" Pizza Dough Press w/ Alum. Platens - 120v

Pros: I did not find the machine to be useful. I will try to change the dough recipe to see if it gets better.

Cons: Machine did not work for me. Platens stick together after pressing the dough and it takes a lot of effort to open them.

The product does not open easily after pressing. I contacted the manufacturer about the issue and I found out it forms vacuum if the dough does not sit up to 24 hours. Be aware that dough has to be big to get the size you want. For example, 230 grams of dough gives 14” with a roller but the machine makes only about 6 inches and will require much bigger size dough to get the 14 inches. You can’t press harder to stretch to 14 inches from the 230 grams. I did not find the heat to help with the stretching of the dough to desired diameter either. In short, the machine did not perform as seen on videos. Also, they do not accept return if the machine does not perform because it was used. It was waste of money and time in my experience with the machine.

I bought this about 5 months ago, It helps out with my inexperienced cooks that can't roll out dough. It's also a huge time saver. It was a little expensive but I like it.
