Fresh Pasta Made Easy
By RealDealReviews on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2024
If you’ve always wanted to make fresh pasta at home but couldn’t be bothered with all the mess and effort, the Philips Compact Pasta and Noodle Maker might just be your new best friend. This fully automatic machine is designed to quickly prepare your favorite pasta and noodles with minimal effort. It comes with three classic shaping discs (Spaghetti, Penne, and Fettuccine), so you can make a variety of delicious pasta dishes in no time. Pros: 1. Fully Automatic: You don’t have to be a pasta pro to make restaurant-quality dishes with this machine. Just add ingredients, press a button, and let the machine do the work. It’s as easy as it gets. 2. Three Shaping Discs: The included shaping discs (Spaghetti, Penne, and Fettuccine) allow for a variety of pasta options, so you can mix things up based on your mood. 3. Compact Design: It’s small enough to fit on most countertops without taking up too much space. Perfect for people with smaller kitchens or those who don’t want to clutter up their space with a big machine. 4. Recipe Book Included: The included recipe book gives you a range of pasta options to try out, so you can get creative with your dishes. 5. Easy to Clean: After making your pasta, the cleaning process is a breeze. The parts are detachable and dishwasher-safe, so no fuss or mess. Cons: 1. Limited Shape Options: While the three discs are great for classic pasta shapes, more adventurous home chefs might find the lack of additional discs limiting. 2. Requires Ingredients in the Right Proportions: While the machine is automatic, it works best when you use the right proportions of ingredients. If you’re unfamiliar with pasta-making, you might need to experiment a bit to get the perfect texture. 3. May not be Best for Those with Special Dietary Needs: While this machine works wonders with traditional ingredients, if you need gluten-free, low-carb, or other specialty pastas, you may need to look for a machine that can handle these ingredients more effectively. In short, the Philips Compact Pasta and Noodle Maker is perfect for anyone who loves fresh pasta but wants to avoid the hassle of making it by hand. With its easy operation, simple clean-up, and versatile shaping discs, you’ll be whipping up delicious dishes in no time. Just be ready to experiment with ingredients to find your perfect pasta!

Broke After Four Uses, Replacement Broke on First Use
By theawakened on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2022
On first try, this pasta maker was a delight to use. It was easy to measure ingredients, flip the switch, and wait for reasonably good homemade pasta to come out. Unfortunately, it's more fragile than an egg shell. After a couple of uses, I noticed the pasta maker struggling a bit when spitting out pasta. But the results were fine, and the pasta seemed right once it came out. I was extremely careful to follow the precise measurements laid out in the manual, as others have noted. On the fifth use, the pasta maker made a terrible grinding sound near the beginning of the process. The whole top half flipped off and fell on the floor, as if the gears had gotten stuck. I tried putting everything back together, but the motor had burned out. This appeared to be covered under the manufacturer warranty, so I contacted Philips. After three incredibly long months of "reviewing the case," they finally sent a replacement. Despite the circumstances, I was excited to have a pasta maker again. I measured flour, water, and egg and tried again. This time, I used ever so slightly more water in case there were any issues with hydration. About five minutes into the process, the machine attempted to spit out pasta, but nothing came out of the tube. It started making noises again. I immediately stopped the machine and attempted to disassemble the parts. I couldn't. The front pasta tube is stuck in place and won't come off. The plastic looks warped. I can't believe how cheap this thing is. It just doesn't work. For the amount of money this costs, I would expect to get several years of use at least. It's just garbage. I'm once again stuck with a giant $200 paper weight, but this time, I'm not waiting another three months for a replacement. It's going in the trash. Don't let this happen to you.
