Philips - Avance Pasta Maker - White/Silver

If you've been eating grocery store dry pasta that is $1 per pound and you are happy, then maybe you don't need this. If you want to have a machine make something that tastes hand made and you don't wince at the idea of spending $$$ on an occasional use kitchen appliance, then maybe you do. If you like the process of making pasta and being one with the noodle, then maybe you don't need this--because seriously pasta has like 4 ingredients.

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.

This a great idea but not for two people to much work afterwards and clean it. and its a pretty heavy product so you have to make room some where to put it. Also the pasta didnt come out the way we like you have to make sure what type of flour to use to get that perfect pasta and the video for clean up well for 2 people still a little to much work for us. I think this product is great for a bigger family with kids and have that family time with kids and show them a few ways to do pasta. So I have to say I would recommend to a bigger family and not for a single person or only a family of 2 .

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

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.

just bought it, plastic looks cheap, but hope it works well.

We like to eat noodle, before we used hand noodle maker, it was so hard when made more, but this time, it saved us a lot of time and energy!
