Pasta Maker Deluxe Set- Stainless Steel, 3 Interchangeable Attachments

Love this. When I am in the mood I love to make fresh pasta and pastry dough. Works well.

If you’ve been thinking about making homemade pasta this is great machine to start with. It offers excellent quality for the price and turns out great pasta. I have bought this 2 time one for granddaughter and one for my grandson. They both say it works great.

It's wonderful that it makes all the different pastas I ever want to make. But the turn handle keeps falling out every time you let go of it then you have to chase it across the floor or the table. The one thing I would improve is but turn handle actually we go in and stay in.

Such a great machine!!! My hunky and I got this so that we could make spinach whole wheat pasta into ravioli since we both want to incorporate more whole wheat and we've been curious about the possibility of making our own pastas. First of all, the cleaning process was super easy and took us maybe 5 minutes to roll paper towels through the rollers that we needed before we were absolutely sure that all of the excess oil and metal were removed, so that's no big deal. Then it took us maybe 30 minutes to get really good with rolling the pasta to the right thickness without breaking it, so while there was a learning curve it actually turned out to be super easy to use and understand! The ravioli attachment also worked brilliantly, although I'd say that we're probably never going to use it again because 1) It didn't quite lock into place properly on the machine itself and 2) the ravioli it makes were so small that you could barely taste and enjoy the filling! We're probably just going to make them by hand next time and use one of the pasta crimp roller wheel things instead. (We got the Norpro 112 Grip-EZ pastry and Ravioli Wheel and can already confirm it works great!) Also, the only downside of the machine itself is more a downside of our kitchen. Because the machine's handle can only be placed on one certain side, there's only one spot in our whole kitchen counter that can accommodate it and allow for us to roll out the dough without hitting a literal wall. I wish that the handle could be put into either side, and I also kind of wish that it had come with 2 c-clamps instead of just one but... Other than that, honestly, I'm so pleased with how well this inexpensive machine performed that I'm not actually bothered by this. But I would say that if you're getting this specifically for the ravioli attachment, which I did, just skip it and form the ravioli by hand. You can get an equivalent machine for about $25 here on Amazon that doesn't have the attachment instead.

Bought this for my son & daughter-in-law & they really liked it. Came by for a pasta dinner & watched them use it.

I followed the instructions to the letter but the directions are not complete. The clamp was too small to anchor the crank to my table. You will notice that the depth of the clamp allows it to extend about 2 inches over your table's surface. This does not provide enough leverage to hold the crank securely to the table. As I attempted to turn the crank, the whole apparatus moved. I could not clamp it tight enough without damaging the table. The only way I got it to work was for my son to crank while I held the unit in place by hand. Making pasta alone was impossible. You can figure out how to attach the crank handle to the other pasta rollers but the clamp did not fit on any of them so using the other rollers is even more difficult than the main unit. The gears disengage and thrash between threads when the dough is too thick. Using the recipe in the manual produced a dough that was too thick to pass through the unit without the gear threads constantly skipping. In fact, the manual tells you that the dough should be thick and lumpy until the first few passes through the rollers on their widest setting. But the third time I tried this technique even on the widest setting, the roller broke down completely and only skips now. If I try to pass anything through it that provides resistance, you only hear clicking as you turn and the rollers don't move at all. The unit became completely unusable in about a week. Also, as the dough builds up it becomes impossible to clean because you can't disassemble it unless you are a skilled mechanic and the manual tells you to never place the unit in a dishwasher. As far as I can tell, there is no winning with this product. Now I'm back to try a different brand but I will steer well clear of this one.

It turns making homemade pasta into an easy event instead of a horrible chore. PROS: Sturdy well built machine and attachments. It comes with several attachments to make different pastas including ravioli, spaghetti, and Fettuccini. The parts are heavy and solid just like the much more expensive Atlas but at 1/3 of the price. CONS: The clamp used to hold it in place is fidgety The handle is not moveable to the opposite side for left/right handed people or counters. The dial is a bit hard to read and turn OVERALL: It's a great option for people on a budget who would like to start making their own pastas at home. There are MANY more attachments you can order from Cuciina Pro to make your favorite pastas.

I was hesitant to buy this product based on the two negative, most up-voted reviews. One goes on about how crummy and unworkable the product is; the other talks about black and silver metal particles coming out of the device. I purchased it anyway, based on the other reviews that haven't been voted up past the two negative reviews for some reason. The bottom line is that the product is relatively inexpensive and it works. I've encountered no metal particles in my pasta. The pasta can travel to the sides as you crank if you're not careful, but it does go through. The product does work. It appears to me to be solidly built. Its manufacture does not appear tinny or crummy. The main body of the unit is designed to flatten your dough to the desired thickness. There are seven settings. You start with the most thick and work your pasta down to the desired level of thinness. The other pieces are attachments that involve the second stage where you make the pasta the desired shape (fettuccine style, spaghetti style, etc.). You attach the unit by sliding it into grooves on the front of the main unit. You then attach the crank into a hole on the side of the attachment and turn it to work the pasta through. The attachments easily slide in and out but stay in place once attached. So don't be scared. It works. There are a few annoyances, however. - The bottom support "pads" aren't pads at all, but pieces of hard white plastic. On smooth surfaces, the machine will slide during use if not held in place. - The height of the crank is higher than the machine, so you will have to use the machine with the edge of it near the edge of a counter. - When you put one of the attachments (to cut the pasta into the various kinds of pasta shapes) on the unit, the weight distribution isn't completely stable, and it can topple over if you're not careful. This really hasn't been much of a problem for me, though. It can topple, but generally doesn't. - The crank is removable and does not lock in place. If you forget this fact, it can fall out on you if you move the unit and haven't taken out the crank. And, lastly, some helpful advice as there may be other newbie pasta makers out there like myself. Before using the unit, make sure you have enough room. You will need somewhere to lay out or hang your pasta. There may be a reason why the "pads" on the main unit aren't sticky pads. As you crank the pasta out, you have the option to slide the unit so that the pasta can be flat when it comes out. Imagine feeding out a length of rope as you walk backwards. If you do that, the rope will form a relatively straight line. If you stay stationary, the rope will just fall in front of you, folding and coiling on itself. Depending on the pasta recipe and thickness setting you use, your pasta may be brittle and break as it folds or may stick to itself when it remains in contact with itself for some time. So I think sliding the unit as you crank or having someone else around to gently grab the pasta and pull it forward can be a great help. Manage your pasta-making in stages by portioning out the dough into small portions, so that the unprocessed pasta isn't sitting out, drying up, and becoming brittle and the pasta being processed doesn't have a chance to stick to itself once made because your attention is on managing your work space and dealing with finding a place for your pasta, moving it around gently, making sure the unprocessed pasta isn't getting too dry, etc. My first few attempts at pasta making were a mess because I didn't do this. Pasta was everywhere, and my real-estate for working was dwindling rapidly. I painted myself in a corner. Give yourself lots of time and room by making sure you have a large working area. Portion out the dough, keeping the portions you aren't processing in the fridge wrapped in saran wrap. Also, depending on your recipe, the cooking time for the pasta may be very different from what you expect. I would work with really small portions at first, cooking experimentally and sampling often while boiling. Fresh pasta cooking is different than cooking store bought stuff. Some kinds of fresh pasta take longer than you expect to get to the right mouth-feel, others take a lot less time. The low price of this unit it makes it ideal for beginners like myself. I am sure there are other units that are better, but this one works for me at my current stage of culinary development. I figure three stars would be a fair rank in this regard. Good luck and have fun!

Always wanted to make by own pasta and this machine is a dream - easy to use and very sturdy.
