Having the Kitchenaid do all the cranking is great - and the Spaghetti maker actually makes ROUND spaghetti, not just tagliatini type little flat noodles.

NOTE for those that say the attachments turn and go around, read the instructions. YOU HAVE to insert if far enough into the mixer so that the little pin on the pasta maker fits into the notch near the tightening screw. IF you don't do that, it will go around and around.

The Ravioli maker was a surprise, it is manual, but I guess that makes sense, That is the one I haven't used yet.

I just got done eating raviolis made by this ravioli maker. Due to all the negative reviews I had some trepidation but I always make up my own mind using the products myself. This ravioli maker was E-A-S-Y. None of my raviolis came undone in the water. I do admit I only put 2 raviolis to boil for the 5 minutes as a test, they turned out fine so I threw the whole batch in the water. This machine is fabulous. I thinned the dough out to #5, pricked a hole in each ravioli and it came out delicious. Not a single one burst while cooking. I made a shrimp, cream cheese, ricotta, garlic, cracked pepper and sea salt filling. I added a little cottage cheese as it strings like mozzarella when hot. This is not my first time making pasta but it was my first time using the ravioli maker. I give this machine a 5.

For regular pasta, this set is a dream. The ravioli maker, though, is a total piece of junk. Different friends and I have attempted to make ravioli with it on four different occasions. It shreds the dough and wastes all the fillings. After I bought it, I went back to read the reviews and there were dozens of reviews attesting to the same problem, not a positive review among them for the ravioli maker. Wonder what happened to all those negative reviews?

For rolling out and cutting flat pasta, this is a great set. But, unless you need another door stop, don't order the set that includes the ravioli maker.

We received these for Christmas and absolutely LOVE them! They ALL work exactly as promised. It is true, the first time we made the ravioli, it mashed it all up... but we figured out that we needed WAY more flour on the outside of the pasta and then it worked like a dream! Don't throw away the ravioli roller... all you have to do is pratice!! I promise, it is WORTH it!!!!

The pasta roller & pasta cutters are great. The ravioli maker doesn't work easily, and because of this we have not been able to make raviolis with it yet. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they have time to practice a lot.
The price was good & the delivery was great

Quite simply, this makes the very best pasta that we've ever had. I can't even bring myself to open another package of dry, store bought pasta after using this.

And it is so much fun for the whole family. We've had pasta making parties and they were such a hit.

We've even made whole wheat pasta and that was delicious. The only thing we haven't tried is the ravioli maker, but if it works like the rest of the attachments, I have not doubt it will be great.

I highly recommend this attachment for the Kitchenaid.

Excellent price on an excellent product. Same product that I've seen used on Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen. Restaurant grade pasta maker that should last a lifetime. Waited to by it until I saw the incredibly low price on Amazon.

My kids and I gave this pasta set to my wife for her birthday. We were a little concerned because of some of the negative reviews but thought we'd give it a try. We started with a double batch of one of the pasta recipes from the included manual and went to work.

After making the dough we used the roller attachment to flatten it out into long, wide strips. We started with the thickest setting (#1) and fed the dough through several times at this setting. We repeated this process at a #3 thickness and #5 thickness, feeding the dough through several times at each setting. Warning: The dough can look pretty scary the first few times through. Keep going.

Once we had two long sheets we took the roller attachment off the mixer and attached the raviolli maker. The raviolli maker worked perfectly the first time. We alternated back and forth between the paster roller and the raviolli maker and over the course of an hour we made enough ricotta raviolli to feed 15 people on our first attempt. It was delicious.

Be patient and don't give up. It works great.

We purchased the KPEX attachment pack for Christmas and just used it. I have used the hand crank pasta maker and these attachments make pasta making easy. The units appear to be very well made. If you enjoy making pasta for dinner and you already have a Kitchen Aid mixer, you will love these attachments.

Very happy with item. Didn't know how to use it. Was very easy to use. Happy with the items. Can make several different kind pasta. Much better than the stuff you buy in the stores in the bags.Always wanted one of these pasta makers. Very happy i purchasted it.
