Solid, well-made pasta maker at a fraction of KitchenAid's cost. Tip: oil it before using!!!!!
This far exceeded my expectations! KitchenAid charges $176 for their "KSMPRA" pasta roller/cutter 3-piece set, and so far, this $43 product seems to do the same thing. I just made my first test pasta with it, and the results were good. Not great, but I only used AP flour and just a small batch to test it out. I look forward to using semolina flour and making some high quality pasta.This is a heavy, well-built machine. If you're concerned about the cheap price and wondering if it's poor quality, 1. it seems well-built to me, 2. it's far heavier than you might think! Open up the top and you'll see a LOT of stainless steel metal. It's heavy! and 3. once I lubricated it and ran it for the first batch of pasta, I couldn't hear the pasta machine at all. My KitchenAid mixer was the only source of noise. Take care of your pasta maker and it'll take care of you.An important observation: Read the manual. Yes, it's your typical "Chinglish" manual with many typos, misspelled words, and weird word choices. Even the cover of the manual says "Past Makers." LOL $43 is pretty cheap for a time machine than can make your past! But look beyond all the bad translations and typos, and they point out how to lubricate your pasta machine. I've read some reviews where people found the machine unusable because of high-pitched noises. I recommend oiling it before your first use. If you don't have any food grade mineral oil, buy some. It's not expensive. You can use it to oil cutting boards and other wood kitchen tools, like wooden spoons. But put a drop of oil on the ends of each of the six rollers before you even make your first pasta. I had tried turning the machine by hand when I was initially cleaning it, and it was hard to do. After I oiled it, it turned much more easily. I suspect the people complaining about the noise would find that lubricating the pasta machine would eliminate that problem.So I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I can recommend this product without any hesitation. If you want to make your own pasta, this is a very good choice.

It works!
Easy set up to the kitchen aide. Once I had the pasta dough made and broken down into small balls it was easy to feed through the machine. I found using small amounts of dough easier to manage. Put it through the middle roller on setting #1, then go to 4 and onto 8. It’s really easy to adjust the roller. Then I put it through the spaghetti cutter. Viola homemade noodles. Use some flour to dust the noodles lightly to keep them separate. Works well. Clean it up right after use. The brushes that come with the kit work great.

Sister loves it.
My sister loves it. Don't know much about making pasta but she says it's an awesome addition to her dough kneed machine.

Works fine
Works decent, wouldn’t say great. It makes a slight squeak noise but whatever. The roller feature works perfect, but the pasta cutters don’t really work 100%. A few of the noodles will be stuck together. Won’t quite cut through. But it’s still fine.

Pasta Maker Review
I purchased the pasta maker attachment for my KitchenAid, and it fits perfectly. I used a recipe I found online, and when my brother-in-law—who’s from Pennsylvania and makes his own noodles by hand—came over, he showed me the proper technique. After running the dough through the machine twice, he said the noodles looked great. This is a fantastic product, and I highly recommend it!

Nice addition
I bought this for my girlfriend who is Italian and loves to make spaghetti, she always said she wanted to make her own and use her grandmas recipes, Im not exactly sure how she uses this but she put it together herself and made dinner a couple days ago and it was great, you really can tell the difference of home made and store bought. Its a very sturdy piece of equipment and smaller than some others i came across. Good buy.

Great tool
Had a great family date night making pasta. We all got to use it and it’s easy to use the kids even made some. Glad we got this, homemade pasta is way better than the store. Will use again.
