Easy to assemble, use and clean!

I just made my first batch of spaghetti with the Viva pasta maker and it was great! I used one 200g cup of King Arthur pasta flour (a durum/semolina/white flour mix) plus 1 egg and enough water to reach the 75g mark on the provided measuring cup. Perfect! We will probably eat a lot more pasta now.
This is the bomb! Pasta is easy to make, takes very little time to make, and is miles better than dried pasta. I've had this since Xmas, and use it at least once a week. I think it's best to measure using scale because you really do need to be accurate. My only complaint is there's always a small amount of leftover dough that just won't go through the processor, and I find it a bit of a waste, but besides that, this pasta maker is fantastic.
I love the texture of the pasta and the noodle, very easy to use especially and clean as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this pasta maker almost weekly and I do think the pasta tastes better than dried boxed pasta, plus it’s fun. The component parts are very sturdy, easy to clean and everything is well thought out. My only reason for 4 stars is that I bought the extra pasta discs and both the lasagna noodle and the other wife noodle disc both would not allow dough to extrude.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Having fun making pasta!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works very well. I wanted to make my own whole wheat pasta using white whole wheat flour. My first try following the recipe for whole wheat pasta was to wet and would not extrude. I then read that white whole wheat does not need as much moisture, so I followed the recipe for white flour and it worked perfectly. I am so happy and have tried the lasagna disc and it worked very well.

smart pasta and noodle maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been meaning to get my mom an automated pasta and noodle maker but being in her 70's she can't handle a complicated kitchen machinery. The Philips pasta maker to the rescue. It's super easy to use- you add flour, start the machine, it will knead the dough, then add water, and voila out comes pasta in spaghetti, fettuccine or penne shape. The machine also is a reasonable weight and is narrow so has a smaller footprint than other machines I have seen. Great for anyone who would like to make home made pasta/noodles.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Compared to other pasta machines it's a five star

We had a pasta machine for years that was very noisy and hard to make consistent pasta. It died. We tried three other machines that cost at least $100 more than this HR2371. This machine is easier and better than any of the four, by far.
Some hints for this (and other) pasta machines. The spikes mentioned in another review are because the dough was too dry. Their recipe does not work with the Italian semolina that I use, either. Always have extra water and dry flour handy when making the pasta. There is a "perfect" moisture, but getting that throughout a batch may take some adjustment. You can get the right moisture to start (no spikes) and have big clumps of dough at the end that need to be pulled apart and some dry flour sprinkled on the smaller balls. It's not that hard with this machine, which sets it apparent from the others that require the same kind of adjustments. (I always add 1 egg yoke to the water. This enriches the dough and makes a stronger noodle. My saffron pasta is a major hit, btw.)
