Hi William,
Thanks for your review regarding the Pasta and Noodle Maker. We are sorry to hear that you have returned the machine, what a shame. If the pasta sticks together, then the ratio of the flour and water is incorrect, and too much water has been poured in the mixing chamber. We suggest measuring flour and water with the provided flour and water cup and according to the "flour/ water ratio table". To store pasta, we recommend sprinkling flour on the noodles and then storing them wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first experience making homemade pasta. This machine makes it so easy and fun to do this for myself and family. It helps us make healthier choice while using the choices ingredients for a healthier life. Easy, convenient and healthier are buzzwords for a 5-star device.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ingredients put in the machine as it is turning and very soon pasta is coming out ready for minimal cooking. Also quick cleanup. Delicious pasta!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great tool! Making home made pasta has become a weekly menu item. I would give it 5 stars except for the fact that the pasta comes out with jagged edges. Not smooth. The penne is a fun noodle to make as well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So easy! Dump in ingredients and you have pasta in about 5 min or less. Easy to take apart and clean. The pasta discs are the most difficult to clean, but they send tools to punch out the dough, so no big deal. The larger pasta shapes tend to be a little ragged around the edges at times. Also, pasta is much more dense and toothsome than store bought pasta. May just have to fiddle with recipes more. Although I've tried several different flours and with eggs/ without, etc etc. I like the angel hair the best. Sometimes you think the pasta won't come out.. just wait a few minutes. Sometimes once the attachments warm up, the flour mixture comes together and it extrudes fine. I made the mistake of throwing the batch instead of being patient. All in all I am very happy with the machine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t find the dough mixed through completely and didn’t mix the contents towards the back of the basket. I is good for small batches and this does not accommodate for more than 2 eggs. Also the dough was clumping when utilizing the angel hair attachment. I would recommend a larger storage drawer for additional disc.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello,
Thank you for taking your time to leave this review. We are sorry to hear that your experience with our Pasta maker is not all perfect. :( However, we do have simple troubleshoots to try!
It could be that the mixing paddle is running idle, and that is why the dough is not mixed through completely. In this case, it might be that the ratio of the flour and water is incorrect. Please disconnect the plug from the power source and discard dough. Clean the pasta maker, measure ingredients correctly (use a kitchen scale to measure the flour weight more accurately), and follow the user manual again to restart the pasta making.
