A waste of time, energy and momey. Hand crank them? Really?
on July 8, 2017

I tried many times to get this work, but I was wasting too much time in making the sheets (which needed to be the perfect width of the ravioli maker to have a chance at working), and cost of products to make this pasta. There needs to be a way to automatically feed in the filling making it more exact. Also, why have a mixer attachment if I have to turn it by hand instead of using the mixer's power to turn it? Returned it. If this was redesigned to fix its many flaws I would buy it again to give it another shot, until then I'll keep making by ravioli by hand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worked like a charm

I had put this on my wedding registry and when I read the mixed reviews I almost returned it. So I figured I would give it a shot and it worked like a charm. The thing I saw that people were complaining about was leaking ravioli.
To all the people that were complaining that it is a manual crank, who cares. It has to be a manual crank or you would have filling all over the place. By having it a manual crank you can make sure that you dont have anything leaking out anywhere.
my first run though ( a dry run w/o filling) I noticed that the dough didnt quite match up. So then with my second sheet of dough I i stretched it out slightly and check for sizing and it fit great and I didnt have any leaking ravioli

Not worth the money

I have tried several times to use this attachment but I'm always disappointed. It just ends up an absolute mess and little to no filling gets into the pasta or my perfect pasta sheets turn into a glob when putting through the machine. I end up using my great pasta sheets that I make with the pasta roller and have to make the ravioli by hand - just laying them on top of each other and cutting them with a biscuit cutter. So much easier and actually works! This attachment is such a waste of money and it's a lot of money to spend for something that doesn't work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very disappointed. Wanted this to work...

I am an experienced cook and love my KitchenAid mixer. I have worked in restaurants and made lots of raviolis in my life. All I can say is that I tried... I made 3 different consistencies of dough and although they came out ok, I couldn't get the ends to properly seal. I did just purchase the pasta arm and I am hoping that maybe that will help... Any suggestions?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just make them by hand and save your money

I bought this attachment thinking I would be able to crank out huge quantities of ravioli with little effort, but what I found was that hand making them was similarly time consuming and more forgiving than using this attachment. I even took a ravioli making class that included a module that utilized the rollers to make sure I was making the dough correctly. In the course, I asked the instructor about using the ravioli maker and he told me the best way to use the ravioli attachment was to put it in the box on the highest shelf in the basement and use it as a dust collector. so thats where it will stay. Handmade raviolis are the way to go.

Returned after first use

I received this as a gift and I was so excited because I got a copy of my Nona’s recipe and couldn’t wait to use it. Well what a flop. After spending a lot of money for ingredients (nona’s recipe was for meat and some veggies) and almost ALL day getting everything prepared and ready to start the process it was so messy and you couldn’t even tell some were ravioli. Didn’t waste though I used all to make a delicious lasagna.
I will say though that I have almost every attachment and I will say I love the pasta maker. So save your money!! Sorry kitchen aid. Don’t bother with a response because I returned it to the store for a refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I expected more.

I was so excited to finally own this attachment! This, being my number one attachment on my wish list, i was ecstatic when i actually did get it! I couldn't wait to bust it open and try that baby out! I got all the ingredients (Semolina was harder to find around here so it took a day or two) and made the dough. The dough came out fantastic and rolled perfectly with the pasta roller attachment. When it came time for the ravioli, i made sure to read all the instructions.. twice, to be sure i got it correct. Did as it said with the practice runs to "perfect the technique". I stuffed my raviolis with cheese, wanted to start out easy being the first time. The roller did not seal, not a SINGLE one. I was disappointed and tried a new technique. The second set did the same exact thing the filling was also bursting out of the unsealed pockets. I decided to re-read the instruction manual thinking that it was user error. Made a third set and turned out the same exact way. I mad sure that the pasta sheets were correctly placed on the rollers and made sure that it cover all the ends thinking that that was why my filling was leaking out and that they weren't sealing, that was not the problem. I was very disappointed. As i laid the unsealed, leaking, gooey pasta on the flour dusted wax paper to dry, it just turned into a large mush pile. I expected so much from this attachment and felt let down. I talked to a few friends and coworkers that have this same attachment and they all had the same problem, none of the raviolis sealed and ended up throwing them away. Sad that i wasted the time and ingredients for such a disaster. Hoping that kitchenaid finds the problem and fixes or comes up with a new/better attachment. I love all my kitchenaid products and I've never had any problems with any. I definitely wouldn't recommend this attachment. disappointed, to say the least.
Cons: second person needed, Leaks, Very messy, Doesn't seal
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
