There was a bit of a learning curve but so worth mastering. One son is celiac and we made amazing gluten free pasta. Husband and son in law had a blast making pasta for a celebration
I bought this pasta machine for my wife for Christmas. She has always used a manual pasta machine. She has always wanted a powered machine or an attachment to a mixer to make the process a bit easier/quicker. This machine really does a nice job of kneading and pultruding the recipes provided. Unfortunately the recipe doesn’t have the right “tooth” in my wife’s opinion. She tried using her tried and true recipe but the machine just can’t mix the toughness of that dough. I think this would be a decent purchase for someone who isn’t as picky about the consistency of the pasta produced.
The product is stylish enough and small enough to sit on the counter! The provided measuring cups make pasta recipes simple and delicious. The machine is also quiet and quick while mixing and extruding pasta. The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to different types/flavors of pasta with the Philips. I don’t use boxed pasta anymore due to how quick and easy this machine makes the pasta making process.
Cons: needs more discs
Pros: ease of use, stylish, quiet, fast, endless possibilities
I am so happy with this Phillip's pasta maker!!! This machine saved my life!!! It's so easy to use, I could cry tears of joy!!! I can not believe I make homemade pasta from scratch, in less than two minutes!!! I know there is a GOD!!! Thank you Elohim!!
Cons: i can't afford one for all of my friends & family
Pros: simply instructions, easy clean up, not too large for my countertop, it's a cute accessory, fresh pasta in a jiffy
