Is there any sense to buy the pasta maker only for the home use?

I wouldn't buy one, there's a large variety of perfectly good inexpensive pasta at the stores. To me, pasta tastes like pasta.
How can anyone not know they can buy pasta makers for home use? Could we have an ad for pasta makers headed this way?

So, we have been invaded by a promotional troll? I hate it when I fall for dodo.

I don't really know, it's just odd that they'd ask that question instead of just searching for pasta makers online.
I have one; bought it for next to nothing at a store closing sale. I have used it twice and produced some decent pasta, but from my experience, it is not worth the trouble, since I have learned what I like in ready-to-cook pasta and know where to find it. It is a nice little machine, very well made and looks as though it could last forever. Out it goes at my next garage sale--for next to nothing.
That's one thing I like about a food store like Publix. They have a vast variety of Pastas and sauces not found at other food outlets or stores. Many times direct imports form Italy. For me I'd rather pay a little more and get a variety of selections than attempt to make it myself, but then some find the do it yourself pastas much better, and maybe they have a point. Just not for me.
There is a running joke on the Walking Dead about a woman pestering foragers for a pasta maker. Nevermind, that first they need to plan and harvest winter wheat. Then, mill the grain into flour.
And there's the ad.
Thank you guys! I think, I will better buy ready pasta in the store)
I read several articles - there is too much hassle with pasta cooking(
