Rating: - Average Results with This Attachment
After I bought my KitchenAid Stand Mixer many years ago, I ordered everything from the cloth cover to the Pasta Maker Attachment to the Sausage Stuffer Attachment for it. Also, I bought an extra stainless bowl and pair of beaters, so that I could have a clean, chilled set when whipping large amounts of egg whites or for making icing for layer cakes.

However, I haven't used this KitchenAid Pasta Maker Attachment very much though. The times I have used it, I didn't think the results were as good as when I had used an Imperia pasta machine with motor. So I recommend buying this attachment only if you keep your stand mixer out on a counter and don't have another electric pasta maker.

Rating: - Great attatchment
I am now looking to buy this again as I did have one before. In response to some of the bad reviews I do have some suggestions I have found work well in working out some of the difficulties. It helps alot if you dip the pasta plates first in italian dressing or even just warm water in order for the pasta not to stick as it extrudes. I did buy a one piece pasta machine that does it all for you but found it took far to long and many of the platic parts were far to cheaply made and began breaking off. This attatchment is very durable and can withstand years of very regular use. The love of my life being a very large Italian man loves pasta alot and it can get mighty pricey to buy fresh pastas in the store and dry noodles can never compare to the taste, variety, and vitamin content of fresh pasta. As far as storing them for later use I often spray my food dehydrator with cooking spray and dehydrate my own for later use. There are a variety of cookbooks on the market for pasta recipes and most do have recipes that work better than the ones that came with the product. On a last note- a tart press works wonderfully for making homemade ravioli and doesn't burst so easy from over filling like the traditional ravioli press does.

I CAN'T SAY THAT I'M COMPLETLEY SASTIFIED WITH THE PRODUCT.
THE KITCHENAID FELT EXTREMELY WARM AFTER MAKING A 1/2 BATCH OF
PASTA, I THOUGHT THE MOTOR MIGHT FIZZLE OUT IF THE WHOLE BATCH WAS MADE AT ONCE! WITH THE TIME/PREP/CLEAN UP INVOLVED, BUY THE NOODLES IN THE STORE!
