Has Anyone Tried This Extruder?

I need to get an extruder for a cake next weekend. I was going to get the green Makin's Professional one that I have seen most people use from my local craft store, but I realized that they only sell it online and I wouldn't get it in time. Has anyone tried this Walnut Hollow extruder?
Also, the handle kind of confuses me...do you spin it or push it?
Duh..Amazon! *facepalm*
That first review answers all of my questions. My apologies for not checking there first, haha!
It is cheaper than the Makin one and sounds much better!
Take it with a grain of salt, as some one mentioned on another thread, it's pretty easy to make a bunch of fake names and give fake reviews to sell stuff. However having said that, it seems that doing the winding handle thing might be kinda cool.
Yes, definitely. I do think that a crank handle would be much easier than one you have to turn a lot!
Luckily the food police can't make me eat all their chemical concoctions of processed plasma..... yet.
AHi there :) you can read about different reviews from CC members regarding different clay extruders. They also mention the same extruder that you're thinking of buying. HTH

I have that one and am happy with it. I haven't used it too much recently but it is easy to use and I like the crank handle a lot.
I had this extruder didn't mind the crank handle, liked that it had a nice selection of disc' to go with it, used it a lot unfortunately it didn't last, some of the threading broke off after about 6 months. I also had to knead in some extra shortening to the fondant to make it a little more pliable for ease in extruding.
I have that extruder as well. I took off he little black rubber "washer" at the top because it was getting clogged, but I love how it works. The black casing on the outside that helps with the grip is also coming off, but I don't need it, gloves will keep a grip.
The fondant needs to be extremely soft or it is very difficult to extrude.
Good luck!
I had the Walnut Hollow extruder and it broke after about 6 months of regular use. I now have the green Makin one, have had it for about a year and it's still going strong.
Wow, I was just able to come back to this thread and I hadn't realized how many people had responded. Thanks everyone! I ended up buying the Walnut Hollow one and made a tiara last night and it turned out wonderful. The extruder worked great and I do like the crank handle. I am not planning on using the extruder too, too much, so hopefully it will last!
