Title: Gluten-free (low Fodmap) , machine is so easy!
Review: I purchased this via Amazon Warehouse, where it was flagged as new. Nope. Not even close. It came in ziploc bags and was very much used. Disappointing. However, I hate returning things, so I cleaned it up. I found a gluten-free pasta recipe on the Philips site and was disappointed that one did not come in the included recipe book. No problem- just used what was on the site. It drives me crazy when a recipe says 2 eggs and does not stipulate the size or overall grams, particularly since a few grams off can mess up the pasta.Regardless, my first batch came out just fine, although I think maybe a bit more liquid was in order. YOU MUST WEIGH TO THE GRAM AND FOLLOW THEIR RECIPES WHEN YOU FIRST START!!!! I cannot emphasize this enough: if you are off even a little, it may not work at all for you. Turn the dial and hit play. Just dump in the flour and slowly pour in the egg mixture. It automatically mixes. It then beeps just before it extrudes, which is only a few minutes (3ish). Be prepared to stand there to cut the pasta until the entire batch is extruded. Since it is so fast, boil your water before putting the flour in the machine. The pasta was cooked in 3 minutes. I was happily surprised at how much I liked the pasta, especially since the trash gluten-free options that are so expensive tend to be pretty bad. The clean-up is a breeze- top shelf of your dishwasher. It couldn't be easier! I can make fresh pasta and cook it faster than a box of dried pasta. Love it!! This works well for 2 people. If you have a family, get the bigger model. I love the small footprint, and it is light, so easy to store and pull out. The little drawer on it holds the other 2 discs, and it has 3 discs included. I will pick up the extra disc, as I see myself using this a ton!

Title: Perfect for fresh milled flour also!
Review: Just used it for the first time. Was concerned. Milled my hard white berries. Used amounts as stated in manual for large batch with water/egg. Let it knead, then turned it off. Let it knead again again and turned it off for 15 minutes. Then ran it through a regular cycle and it came out great. Clean up is easy, just picked off the bigger bits of dough, then rinsed until clean under quite warm but not hot water. I ran everything in the dishwasher before I used it, and that was fine too. Next time I'm going to run one knead cycle and autolyse for 15 minutes and then run the regular cycle. But this time gave super results. I'm very happy with this machine!

Title: EASY to use and gluten free pasta tastes amazing
Review: Ever since I have met my wife my entire way of cooking has had to change. She has celiacs disease and it is so bad she can't even touch regular flour without it entering her bloodstream...I used to think going Gluten Free was for Gwenyth Paltrow and her goop troop. But I have adjusted and just simply gotten used to eating crappy pasta. Because let's face it....gluten free pasta sucks.Until now.I ended up buying this because making Italian food is one of my favorite dishes to make...I miss the flour everywhere...I miss the warm pasta feel as you make it etc. But with gluten free pasta I was hovering dangerously close between cardboard and pasta so heavy that it would make some unladen Jewish bread seem like a chewy treat.****THE REVIEW***When I unboxed this thing I had my doubts. How in the hell was this thing going to make any kind of decent pasta. But my wife was excited again for pasta and so we just went for it. Pictured above is actually our first batch. You can literally still see the box and instructions on the right. Our first batch came out literally perfect. We used King Authors 1:1 gluten free flour. We ate a couple of noodles straight off that rack and they were amazing. Even better with some homemade sauce we had made just prior.FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY AS IT IS WRITTEN IN THE PASTA MAKING KITand for people like me that ignore that sentence because we know better let me say it againFOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY AS IT IS WRITTEN IN THE PASTA MAKING KITI seriously can't express this enough. Our second batch I decided I knew better. I changed the ratio based off another recipe I had been making hand made pasta with...put that recipe into the maker and it was total garbage...the first noodles to come out were almost as good as the first ones...then the ratio was off and not enough liquid for the rest of the flour and it ended up blocking up the mixer. I ended up throwing out the batch. I tried again using more eggs then what my recipe called for and the noodles weren't garbage ready but they were not the caliber I am used to serving in my house to guests...and then I went back to the recipe as it is on the website using the flour weight instead of cup measurements...and voila! Back to perfect noodles.again...shouting warningWEIGH YOUR FLOUR. DO NOT PACK IT INTO A MEASURING CUP...seriously. I did this wrong twice and forgot another time...your end result will almost always tell you how you messed up...now if Philips could make a fridge warning me I am putting the cereal into it instead of the milk I would appreciate it.Clean up is not so much fun...but seriously when is it ever...there is flour, egg, and mess everywhere and in every nook and cranny...while it is fairly easy to take apart and put back together...if you miss anything...the next time you take it out though it will be as if you left concrete inside of your machine.We have owned it about a month now and we have made 11 batches of pasta and only 3 were horrible...and all of those were my mistake. If you want gluten free pasta (I am sure regular pasta too but there is so much good pasta out there why make your own) that tastes amazing...with the ability to make almost ANY kind of pasta (lemon pepper pasta and tomato basil are our favorites so far) I seriously cannot recommend this enough.

Review: This is the second time we buy this machine. There is a part that is wore out after 6 years and I cannot find the part even on Philip’s website. The machine is easy to use and easy to clean, the past it makes is better than we anywhere we can get.

Review: I purchased this machine and used it with the spaghetti and fettuccini dyes so far.Pros- made ideal pasta both times - small amount of dough left over from the extruding process & you can pause & scrape it into the mixing path if you want - reasonable mixing/extruding time - easy cleanup, even the discs - a small, compact machineCons- stick to weighing your ingredients - yes, 100ml of water weighs 100gm - it was best to hand whisk the semolina with regular flour rather than dump both flours in & hope the machine will do a thorough dry mix -look carefully for the triangle marking when you align the extruder and tightening collar onto the machine.... it is barely visible - it is inconvenient to make multiple batches, the mixing chamber should be cleaned out each timeConclusion I'm happy. This is a good machine with really good results. I stuck with the basic flours & water no-egg mix, as any exotic ingredients would be lost under my sauces. I certainly wouldn't spend $100- $200 more for a larger capacity machine.

Review: Excelente aparato. La pasta está lista en unos 10-15 minutos a lo mucho.No recomiendo salirse de las proporciones de las recetas, puesto que la masa debe verse como arena mojada. Si le pones más líquido y te queda como una pasta normal, la máquina no lo podrá expulsar.Es de fácil instalación y limpieza. Yo prefiero esperar unos minutos a que los restos sequen para poder sacudir el depósito y ya después lavarlo bien sin tanto problema.Prepara máximo 400 g de pasta por vez. Muy adecuado para unas 4 o 5 personas. Eso sí, se calienta un poco si preparas pasta dos veces seguidas. No como para que explote, pero recomiendo darle unos minutos entre cada preparación.Estaría bien que incluyera una receta para fideos de arroz. No he podido encontrar la proporción.

Review: It was purchased at amazon.sg (Singapore). The country uses 220V/50Hz. The product is 120V/60Hz.There is no mention on product description about the voltage. Zero warnings on the purchasing process. How come?

Review: Se hace la pasta muy pronto y es muy fácil de limpiar en el momento. Si se ve la masa polvorienta y que va muy lenta, echarle 10 ml mas de agua. Sale una pasta muy sabrosa y sabes que lo que comes es sano, ya que lleva la harina que tu le pones, los huevos y el agua. Yo le echo 3 huevos no grandes por cada 400 gramos de harina y el resto agua hasta los 160 ml (o un poquito más, como 10 ml) y sale fantástica. Ya no quiero más pasta comprada ni más restuarantes italianos caros
