This pasta maker is fast and efficient. Makes great pasta and is easy to clean. My only complaint is that there are only three shapes available. This machine should have more pasta shapers, just like the more expensive machine. Would love to have dies for angle hair and lasagna.
This pasta maker is very simple to use and very quick !! The only drawback i found was the plates for the different pastas. The spaghetti plate is great however the macaroni plate is useless! Would be perfect if you could use it!
I bought the Premium pasta maker and didn't like. It works only for the first time and I have to return it. I didn't like the electronic system of scale an calculate the mix. It not work. This one is a must to make pasta for two or four. Fresh pasta with a delicious taste. The only problem is that's have only three discs.
Used the pasta maker to make fettuccine and penne so far. For the fettuccine I used all purpose flour and for the penne semolina and all purpose flour, the results were great, it's fun to see the pasta take shape and the taste was very good. Next time it's the spaghetti's turn.Hopefully there will be more pasta discs in the future to try. Rigatoni is my favorite.
Pros: easy to clean, takes up little cabinet space
I have finally been able to use my machine for the first time. I am on a low carb diet so tried to use other types of flour instead of regular flour. The measurements on the recipe book were just slightly off, in my opinion, but once I got it right the machine did well. Never totally emptied the chamber when done with the cycle, so I had to do the extra cycle. All in all a good machine.
This compact size is perfect for my small kitchen. While sauce is warming up, fresh pasta comes out of the machine.
Also, works great on Asian style noodles.
The only thing I am not happy with is... other types of discs such as angel pasta or thick spaghetti are not available for the moment. I am looking forward to buy them once available.
Cons: only 3 discs are available.
Pros: fits perfect on small kitchen, easy to use easy to clean
I always want buy Philip pasta maker, I have lots friend have it, but the perium one is too big for me. Until to I saw this viva one. I bought that right way. Love to use that. It's so quite and my pasta turns out so good! Never gonna buy dry pasta again.
Pros: easy to use, easy to tidy up after use, make pasta in very short time
