   The amount of time this saves makes it 100% worth it.Amazon has several different pasta ROLLING sets available (they also have presses, which make “shaped” noodles like rigatoni, macaroni, etc).Differences in the sets:The least expensive comes with only the sheet roller, which is the most vital. You use the sheet roller to get your dough to the right thinness, and any other attachments are only for cutting.There’s another set which comes only with capellini (essentially angel hair) and lasagna CUTTERS (again, roller is vital), and then this set which comes with the roller, a spaghetti cutter, and a linguine cutter.If you’re on a tighter budget, I would say to save for this specific set. It comes with the roller (which you need to use any of the KitchenAid cutting attachments) and two cutting attachments, and overall is more cost effective than buying the roller, then the other attachments later. The most time consuming part of making pasta is the rolling, and even if you’re in great shape all of that rolling will kill your upper back after a while. THICK pasta is 3mm thick—essentially the same as a cotton bed sheet. And honestly, having the machine do the cutting for you is just so much prettier and more uniform than anything you can do by hand.The nuts and bolts:For your first pass-through, you set the dial to setting 1. From there, you go to setting 3. The booklet has a handy chart to tell you what setting different types of pasta need. For ravioli, it recommends setting 4. It may seem convoluted to roll each piece of dough three times at different thicknesses, but this actually kneads the dough and gives you a better pasta. For what it’s worth, by the end of my batch I was rolling at 1 and then rolling at 4 and it worked just fine. If you’re making an ultra thin pasta that requires setting 2, for example, I DEFINITELY wouldn’t skip these in-between thicknesses.I threw together a quick egg and semolina dough to make mushroom ravioli and try this puppy out. I rolled the dough into thick cylinders and then smooshed them down to maybe a third-inch thickness to watch the magic happen.And oh, this is what Harry must have felt like when he first saw Hogwarts. I was RIVETED. It works so quickly, and so smoothly. It took roughly 10 seconds to do what would have taken me 5-10 minutes to do by hand. Each time I changed the thickness dial, I was more entertained. It’s the simple things in life.When I ran out of filling, I used my extra dough to try out the spaghetti attachment. The most time consuming part of the process was just switching out the roller attachment for the spaghetti attachment, after I got my dough to the right thinness. The cuts themselves are all uniform and beautiful, easy. I was drying the spaghetti instead of cooking it, and found that the way it cuts had a lot of them sticking together. However, if I’d been boiling it straight away there would’ve been no problem. It gets the job done.Clean up is simple. You’re not supposed to submerge in water, so I just used a pastry brush to poke about the mechanism and make sure no flour was stuck in there. Wipe clean with a towel and it’s ready for storage.The only odd thing is that they give the same booklet for this set as one that comes with all 5 of the different cutting attachments, which apparently comes with a cleaning brush. I had other brushes I can use for cleaning, but if somebody wasn’t aware of the guide being for a different set, they’d get confused over the brush thing. The booklet still has all of the information for the attachments this set includes, so it works.I’ll be trying out the linguine roller sometime next week, and I’ll update my review with any random nuances if things come up.Tl;dr—buy this. Become the Italian Nonna you know you are in your heart.

   I can only speak to my personal experience with these machines. Maybe this will be helpful to someone wondering what they are getting themselves into before they buy. the fit and finish of these pasta machines is very impressive to me. for the price I think people should expect a certain level of quality but the way things are made today, a higher price or a name brand doesn’t always mean quality like it used to. I was in the market for machines to fit my new mixer and I saw these were on offer for a deal. I am glad I did. full price for these would be putting me to other options that are readily available. even the sale price was a bit higher than the others, but I went ahead and bought the name.as far as use goes, I am a learner at pasta. I am not that good *yet* but I am getting the hang of it. I have not used the spaghetti attachment yet, only the fettucini and the roller. I need to do similar pastas as I experiment until I find the dough formula that gives the best flavor and texture. I have made some pretty good noodles but I still have a few issues and part of those issues are machine related.the roller is fine. no issues. no problem with clean up. no problems at all. pat out the dough. flour it. roll it. flour it. roll it again. flour it. keep going until you get the sheet size you need. right? perfect. no sticking at all.CUTTING on the other hand, is where I am having problems. I don’t think its a machine issue as much as I don’t know how well enough yet and the learning curve is pretty steep. no matter how great the dough feels, the sheets feel, the amount of flour I keep them dusted with… the noodles will inevitably stick and bunch up making a clump that i need to manipulate and pull to get them to go through. I am certain that I am doing it wrong. even watching several youtube videos of other people doing it… it very well COULD be the machine but I am inclined to blame myself first. I just had a pasta rack delivered in hopes that I roll out the sheets and hang them up to let them dry a bit before trying to cut. if it doesn’t work I’ll need to try something else. its frustrating to need to start over and re sheet the dough then cut it again. lol especially when every one else can tap it with a magic wand and make the sparkles go, then present perfect pasta.along with this issue, I believe that I have a bit of dry pasta inside the cutter machine that rattles around when I shake it. I am not sure how to get it out. when I search “cleaning” I get “repair” videos that show disassembly and that’s not what I want unless that’s the only way. I dont want to get into a can of worms with either disassembly or a warranty claim because I cant make my pasta not stick to the rolling cutters. : /I’m going to win this thing. I just need practice. Maybe if you read what I am going through, you can have a similar experience and know that you are not alone in this thing. I’m in this well over 600 bucks because virus distancing and honestly, its better to make fresh food out of real ingredients than buying premade processed everything. Its good to know things and I plan to come out on the other side of this with a ton of new skills.

   We made pasta and it was the best! So easy to use. I dont think we will ever buy pasta again. I thought it was going to be a long drawn out process. I used my kitchenaid mixer to make the dough. Then used the pasta maker pieces. Super easy. I had a blast making them. We did plain, spinach and carrot. 3 types. Making the noodles was actually the quickest part. If you eat alot of noodles then you need this. Next batch will be the fettuccine style with an egg noodle recipe and will be making a chicken noodle soup with them!!

   The media could not be loaded.  I almost never write reviews (although i love and appreciate them) but had to for this. I have been making homemade pasta for my italian husband and family for 30 years and i can’t believe it took me this long to find this? it made amazing pasta that was like velvet. it may be because it was so easy and fun that i passed it through so many times? it was also more uniform that my old hand cranked machine which recently kicked the bucket and why i considered an upgrade. best decision ever! I usually enjoy the pasta making process but this took it to a whole new level.
