I have a metal one and it wasn’t particularly costly. It’s cheaper than a good grinder. You can get a grinder for cheap, but they’re often not that great. The one my mom has, which is manual, really struggled to grind meat.
I actually find the pasta ones a bit overpriced given how cheap and durable a hand-cranked machine is.
But I do think it’s a big plus that you can have all these things with one machine rather than multiple ones that each only serve one purpose.
The downside is that machines designed to do that one thing are often better, so if you find yourself using one attachment in particular then it would be good to buy a machine dedicated to that specific task.
