Philips - Avance Pasta Maker - White/Silver

I absolutely love this thing! I am not a gadget or small appliance aficionado, I’m a stay at home mom with five hungry kids. I’ve never spent this kind of money before and I can honestly say I haven’t regretted my purchase for a second! It’s incredibly easy to use, the noodles come out perfect every single time! I’ve ready a couple reviews saying it’s hard to clean, it’s not. Clean it as soon as you’re done using it and it’s a snap. I really can’t say enough good things! All of us just love using this thing and come garden time we’ll be having freshly flavored from the garden noodles too! You will not regret buying this:)

I bought this machine about a month ago. I am never going back to boxed pasta. You can really feel the difference in texture and taste of the pasta made by this. It can also make great ramen. An advice I would give is that it is useful to mix all purpose flour and semolina flour as well as eggs and water in order to obtain the perfect consistency for the pasta. As for ramen, all purpose flour is fine, but for better consistency using eggs in the wet mix is useful.

I expect this is sturdy because it weighs a lot. We also purchased the additional shapers and have been having a great time making all sorts of pastas and noodles. We have even flavored the pasta with chicken soup base and herbs from our garden. Nice for family time. Kids like to boast to their friends that they make pasta.

Purchased this time in to make fresh pasta at home. It works but the programmed cycles are fix and there is no way to alter or setup new ones. Buy if you must, otherwise, pass.

Being a pasta junkie, i had to give this a try. If you have the space for a new toy, i highly suggest it. You can use it not only for pasta, but also i've been making dumplings with it as well, so it feels like far less of a uni-tasker

The first time we used it the pasta didn't turn out, the instructions don't specify the ingredients very well but the second time after looking online the pasta turned out amazing! I love this and we plan on using it weekly now!

This is a great way to eat healthy pasta fast. My wife buys good grains to try with the attachments. The machine spits out a full batch in five minutes and because it is fresh and soft it cooks in just five minutes.

Decided to make fresh breads and saw a pasta maker and said "why not". Now I get crispy noodles or doughy ones without having to guess boil and bake the ones from the store.
