Yes. I have a small one that is hand operated, but really want a larger one with a motor.
I have a little manual one, as well. I just got it a couple of weeks ago, to make a quilled cake, so I could get evenly sized strips. I've used it several times since then, too, especially for the planks on my Noah's Ark cake.
I just got mine at a kitchen outlet store for $20. I would love to have a motorized one, but I'll have to save up for that. 
Yer they are great! We use them at work all the time! Wish i had one for home... But at work we use it for making icing shards, drapes etc etc they are great as the icing is all one thickness and you can get long bits rolled out so much faster and easier! 
i have one that i got when i lived in sicily. its great for uniform thickness and also for the attachments. you can get your ribbons for your bows all cut at the same time. i haven't tried the spaghetti attachment yet but i was thinking i could use it for hair instead of the extruder.
I have a larger atlas but it is still hand crank..have lots of fun attatchments too. God bless my DH he will get me what I want if I pout or beg enough (I don't often though, only when it comes to cake) I do want a motorized one someday, I think my kids get tired of cranking for me. LOL. They are worth it though. I use mine all the time.
When I get my new KA mixer the pasta machine attachment is one of the choices for a free mail in gift. I don't work with fondant yet but I'm going to start soon. So you think this is a good choice? Cause the other choice is the ice cream maker attachment and they're pretty darn cool too.
Ohhh,, I would say pasta machine. You can use that year round...the ice cream maker would get put away during the winter wouldn't it? Pasta machines are such great multi taskers! Just my opinion though.

I'm almost certain i heard that ice cream sales are HIGHER in the winter.
I say buy both attachments!
That is cuz they are all sold out by summertime...lol. I agree get em both. It would be a 2 fer 1 special!!!

Yep, that's the one I have. I used it in a class last weekend in fact and it worked like a charm!! Also, if your fondant "ripples" when it comes out of the machine (mine did), that's okay. Take it to #1, then #3, then #5 or whatever thickness you need. That helps reduce the rippling.
I have the little one I bought in the clay dept. at Hobby lobby. I bought it with a 50% off coupon so it cost $10.00. I love using it when I make flowers from fondant. It is so quick when you cut come shapes then wad up the extra and run it through again. Sure beats using a rolling pin. I can't do a very wide piece though. The rollers are only 5 or 6 inches wide.
I have a hand one... and have it for rolling out my flower paste nice and thin saves the wrist work hehehe and i know of many ladies who do that way specially if they suffer with a bit of arthritis then they dont have to give up their hobby.. go for it well worth it.
