My wife has a kitchen Aid Mixer. I just tried my old Pompeii Pasta Machine that I have not used for 10 years and it would not work. Is it worth buyinga electric pasta machine again if I want to make various shapes or purchase the attachment for the...

My daughter wanted this and she has used it several times. I'm thinking that if I had the kitchen aid I would just get the attachment. But This machine does work good, especially for the money. It's kind of loud but it made good pasta. It's a little time consuming because you have to stand there and wait for the pasta to get the right length then cut it off with a knife. As I would assume you would have to do with most machines. Just depends on what you are looking for. We havent used it a lot so it's hard to give a good opinion on if you plan to make a lot of pasta. I'm definitely not unhappy with the purchase. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the delay. This looks like a great pack. Yes it has all you need. You use the pasta roller first. Then attach any of the other attachments to make the type of pasta you want. Looks like there is fettuccine, spaghetti etc. cutters. Also it has the Ravioli attachment, that's all you need. happy pasta making. You will notice the difference in taste and quality with your homemade pasta, and doesn't fill you up as much as store bought pasta. Yummy.. Naturally there are other attachments that you can buy. Such as the pasta extruder attachement to make large or small macaroni, fusili, rigatoni, bucatini, or spaghetti. Hope this is helpful Sorry for the delay. This looks like a great pack.

I just want to warn you to not buy this stand mixer. It's made really cheap. the one I bought lasted about a year with light use, the motor failed. I recommend KitchenAid.

I was making hummus the other day and the machine could barely keep up. I doubt it could make a pasta dough, maybe a medium thick batter. Go for more power. Otherwise very happy with the versatility of the unit.

Yes, my spouse has made pasta with it an it seems to work fine. She had to improvise as there were no directions with it.

I had to buy a new pasta machine because my Atlas did not fit with the Norpro Motor. I think I bought a Norpro pasta machine so they would be compatible. But it was worth it, because now I can make my homemade pasta in half the time and I can do it without my husband's help and no more sore arms.

Don't know yet. The base machine with linguini and spaghetti cutters works very well. Have not used other cutters, including the small ravioli cutter attachment other than the initial waste product cleaning process. the small noodle/crinkle edge attachment looks interesting and want to try it next. If all work as promised, the price is a good one for the entire set. If you don't use it regularly or put a few attachments in deepest recesses of cabinets, they are just expensive toys. The machine itself is top notch.

Sorry, I'm not the owner of the pasta maker. I gave it as a gift some time ago. To the best of my recollection, the difference may only have been that the limited edition had an applied coating to the rollers to help overcome an issue present on the standard pasta maker. To the best of my knowledge, the gift recipient has been very happy with the Limited Edition.

It does look the same to me. And I agree if it does come with directions it would be worth getting a new one. I have directions from a diff pasta maker. One important thing to remember is this pasta maker should be used with 90 % power. Prob anything over that could be unsafe.

This is a pasta maker atachment, that snaps into the kitchen aid mixing head.You might be able to use it for pie dough, but the mixer itself does such a good job mixing any kind of dough you put into it,I dont know why you want to use anything else.

I beleive the Kitchen Aid to be one of the very best machines avaiable. All of my attachments (i have many) work perfectly. I have been using my machine since the late 1980's and no part of it has failed to date.

The machine itself won't do it. You'd have to roll the dough then make very thin slices and then unroll each slice. For spaghetti and angle hair type pastas you really need an extruder type pasta maker. I had one and it's nice but a lot of additional work and cleanup.

There is another attachment called the "extruder" for pasta types like Penne, hollow spaghetti, etc. with that you are complete for almost all types of pasta. Have fun.

Start out following the recipes exactly and it will work fine. After you learn about the consistency of the flours, etc. you will be able to expand your recipe collection. It is fun to make the fresh pasta all the time at first, but I started to dry my pasta (it is pretty fragile) and later discovered it is better to freeze it. The tube stuff does not work as well (with any pasta machine), and you will have a mess in your kitchen because of the amount of countertop space things take. Just have your pot of water (or broth) going before you get the pasta through the machine dies so you can cut the pasta and drop it in right away. Also have things set up so you can drain the pasta right away, too. Enjoy

I love mynKitchenaid Pro-600. Hated the hand mixer, just because of those stupid wire beaters....I am going to look for a vintage Sunbeam with thenflat beaters. I bought a Cucina Roma Hand mixer becauseit had flat beaters...its a piece of Chinese Junk

Don't buy either, IMHO. I wanted one for years and finally bought an Artisan, though I only use them for family dinners.On its 5th or 6th use, it dumped grease oil in the food. Just sitting, it started dripping oil, and the gears started sounding distressed.KitchenAid support said this is normal. They said I should run the mixer every couple weeks. On average, over 3 calls to customer support, they indicated it was normal for the gear grease to separate and drip into food.
