I purchased this item because the original roller attachment from the three-piece set I received over three years ago finally broke. Please bear in mind that I make more pasta than 99% of those who will buy this machine - usually FOUR dozens eggs worth per session (every month or so) - I did not hesitate to buy another.
It works perfectly! It also seems that they have made some changes since the last model. The copper scraper-plates where the dough is extracted have been changed to plastic (this actually is a GOOD thing, as little bits of copper will not get into your noodles if they break off). Also I have heard that they changed the gears from plastic to metal (another plus for durability if it is true).
My last model was on its way out for a LONG time (you could hear it), and when I used this one I had realized how quiet it used to be when working! |
Pasta sheet roller works great!

| I am very pleased with the KitchenAid pasta sheet roller. I have made semolina pasta using this attachment, which is very firm and challenging to roll by hand, and the KitchenAid pasta sheet roller makes it very easy and fun. The pasta comes out great. I highly recommend this product. (By the way, it is recommended that you get a higher-watt KitchenAid mixer if you are going to make semolina pasta as the basic KitchenAid mixer only has a 250 watt motor). |
Excellent experience for a first timer

| As someone who had never made homemade pasta before I found the information in the manual and the device very easy to use. Except for the fact that I needed to use a little more water than the egg noodle recipe called for everything went very well. |
Much faster than a crank

| I purchased this attachment and it work like a breeze. The only thing I have an issue with is the cleaning. The little brush they give you is not going to work for cleaning it. I made 2 batches of ravioli yesterday and spent about an hour with a hat pin picking out pieces of pasta dough. I curious as to whether th pieces could be softened with oil and then brushed out.. or maybe it should be brushed every couple of sheets made. I had the same issue with the hand crank machine I have. |

| I have been making pasta for years and have used a hand cranked pasta roller. This Kitchen Aid pasta roller made it so much easier and faster |
