I purchased this machine two weeks ago, and it has made the best pasta. Recipes are simple easy to use, best of all easy to measure. It worked right out of the box and I have ordered additional disc's for it. I would say that is the only thing wrong with this item, not enough disc They should add angel hair pasta a long with macaroni , Shells, Paccheri, Rigatoni, along with the ones it comes with. I purchased another brand and had to take it back the next day, This Philips Pasta Maker is a keeper, it is sturdy and I am sure will last me years.

I hesitated getting this Philips pasta maker because my family owned their first model decades ago, and cleaning it was part of my traumatic childhood memories. We kids were given toothpicks to poke out all the bits of dough from inside the machine and from the disks. That experience makes me amazed about how easy this is to clean. But even more impressive is how quickly and reliably it works to mix and automatically extrude dough. I had my first fresh pasta ready to go a mere 30 minutes after receiving this -- and that included washing and drying all the parts before use. If the directions were a little more clear, it would be even easier. Skip to below for tips for success.First, how it works: you measure flour into the bin, start the paddles, and add liquid through the lid. In three minutes, after mixing, the pasta starts to come out of the disk. You cut to desired length. That's it. Having made rolled-and-cut pasta before buying this, I was a little leery about the lack of a rest period, but the pasta comes out exactly as it should, with proper hydration despite the crumbly look of the dough inside the machine.Next, the instructions: All the recipes in the included book are for 2-3 servings, or 1/2 pound of pasta. I bought the large machine because I wanted to make a full pound at one go. What the directions fail to say is that, yes, it can make a 1-pound batch by doubling the recipes. For more than that, the instructions say to wait 15 minutes -- and in another part, wait 45 minutes -- between batches. The product page says that the parts are dishwasher-safe, but that isn't mentioned anywhere. Instead, it advises to "rinse with water." Does that mean I shouldn't use soap? I followed the directions for cleaning the unit afterward, and THEN saw at the end of the directions that the spaghetti disk needs to dry 2-4 hours before the dough can be pushed out. Fortunately, despite the sometimes contradictory instructions, everything is easy to use and clean by hand. Nothing sticks inside the machine, and the included cleaning tools pop the dough out with ease. No more traumatic toothpick cleaning!Next, tips for success: I weigh everything instead of measuring by volume to make sure the ratio of liquid to flour remains correct. The dough WILL be crumbly, but the machine will extrude it without effort, as long as you strictly keep to the correct amounts. Using semolina flour helps a lot with extruded pasta, even though it's not as essential with rolled-and-cut ones, but it doesn't result in the silky texture you'd expect in homemade papparadelle or ravioli. Philips recommends a combination of semolina and all-purpose, but I found that all semolina works well. You CAN use other flours as well as higher egg-based dough for that silky texture, but I recommend starting with semolina until you know the process better. I find that the included pasta cutting tool works well as long as I sweep it over the disk firmly and fairly quickly. Use a sharp knife if you have trouble. You can open the lid during mixing to push dough adhering to the sides; the machine will automatically stop for safety but will start up again when you press the start button. Although some bits get left behind, it's not a lot.The recipe book: the multi-lingual charts detail 12 different kinds of pasta, from traditional durum/semolina to udon to dumpling/ravioli to chickpea. The only thing missing is egg noodles since Philips' recipe never add more than a single egg. Three recipes are gluten-free, and eight are vegan. The ramen noodle chart makes no mention of kansui or baked baking soda; you might have to look elsewhere for a better recipe. The charts also don't list the best disks to use for each. After the charts, the book goes on to flavored/colored pastas, sauces, andspecialty pastas such as dumplings and ravioli.The pasta maker has an "extrude only" function for those who like to mix their dough separately and let it rest. This isn't described at all in the booklet. In fact, there's an automatic button that I couldn't figure out first when to use. The instructions say that if the machine isn't on automatic, press that button before pressing start. How would I know? I finally figured out that you probably use that button when you've previously used the extrude-only function and want to return to automatic.The pasta maker comes with four extrusion disks: spaghetti, fettucini, penne, and lasagne/dumpling. Philips sells additional sets of disks to cover a large range of shapes. I love that there's a storage drawer underneath the unit that holds the cleaning tools and five disks. A sixth disk is stored in place, ready to extrude. I've bought extra sets of disks that cannot all be stored in the box, so I've placed my most-used there. I only wish that Philips made a bucatini disk.Everything about this pasta maker is built to last. It has metal parts where it counts, and plastic where it doesn't. The surfaces are largely nonstick, which means cleaning a breeze, and it assembles/disassembles with ease. Although the additional disks can be expensive, they are well-worth the purchase to be able to make as many shapes as possible. Since I plan to use this machine at least once a week, I want to have everything available to me. Now I just have to figure out what to do with all the dried pasta in my pantry.-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

I love pasta and I love to cook. So the idea of making my own fresh pasta has always appealed to me; however, there was always the convenience issue. Mixing the dough, rolling the dough, putting it through the pasta machine, and then the clean up... for years I just cooked pasta like everyone else, right out of those boxes or cellophane packages. But, having traveled and tasted fresh delicious pasta, I still wanted that experience at home. So, I bit the bullet and bought this Philips machine.First off and upfront, I did a lot of research. I know that good pasta uses quality ingredients. I know that proper measurements are key. However, I read the reviews about this machine and saw the bad ones. I have to say this because honestly, its the truth; if you expect amazing pasta using just plain white flour and water, and not utilizing a small kitchen scale... you will be disappointed. You're already spending $300 on a kitchen appliance. So with that being said, do yourself a favor, get good pasta flour (Semolina or 00 flour, or both) and buy one of those digital scales. I promise, if you do this - you will not fail and you will be pleased with the results.Next, cleaning. I have found that the quickest, most easiest, and hassle-free method of cleaning this machine is simply disassembling it when you're done, and putting it in your sink filled with hot water and dish washing liquid. Any pasta tide bits or remains will soften and fall off... and for the most part, you could honestly just rinse the rest off - no scrubbing necessary. The disc WILL need some attention, but use the tool that comes with the machine to poke any pasta remnants out of the holes, rinse, and you'll be good. If you follow this method, no kidding - clean up will take 10 minutes.Last, experiment with flavor and don't boil it too long. This machine makes amazing pasta with just an egg, water, Semolina flour mix; but, goodness gracious if you want to take it up a notch and wow yourself - throw some black truffle powder in there! Sky's the limit. Dried basil, onion powder, squid ink, whatever else that might suit your taste buds. I find that my ideal bite for pasta is a tad bit softer than al-dente, so... 2 and half to three minutes boiling is perfect.Making fresh pasta with this machine is quick. You'll soon find that you have no use for that boxed/pre-packaged pasta any more.

Easiest way to make authentic homemade pasta! Machine is as good as advertised. Had 6 adults and 4 kids for dinner the day it arrived. Made spaghetti. Smooth and delicious. Best ever! You will not regret buying this Pasta Maker. Just push the start button, put flower and water (and egg if desired) and watch the magic begin. Mixes for 3 minutes then starts to extrude your favourite pasta. Cooks quickly and doesn’t stick together. You’ll never buy dry pasta again!!
