I have bought and tried just about all the Chinese Pasta Mixer-Extruders that are being sold today, including the Ronco disaster and the Pasta imPerfect (and its' 3 or 4 clones that have interchangable parts with the Pasta Perfect.) and have decided that you need to invest at least $200 to get a combination unit that has a ghost of a chance of performing decently.
I have had good luck with two different units: The somewhat pricey Kitchen-Aid pasta extruder attachment (which requires the ownership of a Kitchen-Aid mixer, and this cheap little Atlas manual pasta extruder. Both units require you make up the dough in advance. With the Kitchen-Aid you have the dough hook and all the other great equipment. With the Atlas, you can use a fork, flour, eggs, your hands and whatever else, to create your dough.
With the dies included, you can make spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, lasanga and cookies. Who cares about the 8 other dies that don't work very well in the other machines anyhow? It is a manual machine. Nothing to jam or burn out. Easy to clean. And it does its' thing quite well! This is the unit to get if you want do what pasta extruders do best. Roller type pasta makers also have their place, but you can easily afford this little angel and a roller machine as well! Obviously I love it! |
Great buy

If you don't have this yet Get it! :-)
I make a lot of bread and Pasta, added this to my collection as I enjoy manual methods over electric.
This machine works great.
It's not however for tender handed persons, some of the dies make egg dough very hard to crank.
I was surprised how clean it remains as you use it, the inner storage area stays spotless.
Changing dies it very quick and it does not have razor sharp edges like some Pasta machines, very nice quality on this.
For the price you cannot go wrong, order one now! |
Good machine but not easy to use

I haven't tried any other machines so I don't have anything to compare to. I do have a regular pasta maker by another manufacturer that is easier to use but it only cuts noodles. Overall not a bad machine. I am happy with it and it does make good pasta, easy to use but can be a workout. You definitely don't have to feel guilty about eating the pasta because you burn off the calories making it.
Pros: simple design, comes apart, and easy to clean; does have additional attachment for dough mixing and meat grinding you can purchase separately; works good for tubular pastas.
Cons: takes some strength to crank the dough through; is mostly plastic (my other pasta machine is all metal which I prefer); haven't had any luck with the rotini pastas |
