KitchenAid 5-Piece Pasta Deluxe Set KSMPDX Stand Mixer Pasta Roller Cutter Attachment Kit

I can only speak to my personal experience with these machines. Maybe this will be helpful to someone wondering what they are getting themselves into before they buy. the fit and finish of these pasta machines is very impressive to me. for the price I think people should expect a certain level of quality but the way things are made today, a higher price or a name brand doesn’t always mean quality like it used to. I was in the market for machines to fit my new mixer and I saw these were on offer for a deal. I am glad I did. full price for these would be putting me to other options that are readily available. even the sale price was a bit higher than the others, but I went ahead and bought the name. as far as use goes, I am a learner at pasta. I am not that good *yet* but I am getting the hang of it. I have not used the spaghetti attachment yet, only the fettucini and the roller. I need to do similar pastas as I experiment until I find the dough formula that gives the best flavor and texture. I have made some pretty good noodles but I still have a few issues and part of those issues are machine related. the roller is fine. no issues. no problem with clean up. no problems at all. pat out the dough. flour it. roll it. flour it. roll it again. flour it. keep going until you get the sheet size you need. right? perfect. no sticking at all. CUTTING on the other hand, is where I am having problems. I don’t think its a machine issue as much as I don’t know how well enough yet and the learning curve is pretty steep. no matter how great the dough feels, the sheets feel, the amount of flour I keep them dusted with… the noodles will inevitably stick and bunch up making a clump that i need to manipulate and pull to get them to go through. I am certain that I am doing it wrong. even watching several youtube videos of other people doing it… it very well COULD be the machine but I am inclined to blame myself first. I just had a pasta rack delivered in hopes that I roll out the sheets and hang them up to let them dry a bit before trying to cut. if it doesn’t work I’ll need to try something else. its frustrating to need to start over and re sheet the dough then cut it again. lol especially when every one else can tap it with a magic wand and make the sparkles go, then present perfect pasta. along with this issue, I believe that I have a bit of dry pasta inside the cutter machine that rattles around when I shake it. I am not sure how to get it out. when I search “cleaning” I get “repair” videos that show disassembly and that’s not what I want unless that’s the only way. I dont want to get into a can of worms with either disassembly or a warranty claim because I cant make my pasta not stick to the rolling cutters. : / I’m going to win this thing. I just need practice. Maybe if you read what I am going through, you can have a similar experience and know that you are not alone in this thing. I’m in this well over 600 bucks because virus distancing and honestly, its better to make fresh food out of real ingredients than buying premade processed everything. Its good to know things and I plan to come out on the other side of this with a ton of new skills.

This KitchenAid pasta cutter attachment is built like a tank — incredibly sturdy and well-made. It works wonderfully and has completely changed the way I make pasta at home. Compared to manual methods, it easily cuts prep time in half, which is a huge win! The attachments are straightforward to use and make rolling out dough a breeze. The pasta comes out beautifully every time, with consistent thickness and clean cuts. While I do find cleaning the attachments a bit tricky, it’s manageable with a little care. Overall, this is a fantastic investment if you love making homemade pasta. It saves time, delivers great results, and is definitely worth the money.

I have had a KitchenAid stand mixer since the 70s (yes, avocado green!) and it continues to perform excellently. I also have a few attachments that continue to work well over many, many years. I have wanted to make pasta and already have a good brand crank pasta roller. However it doesn’t fit well on my counters, is a bit of a pain to use and subsequently I rarely used it. So I decided to change that. After researching pasta roller attachments, I decided on the “tried and true” KitchenAid one. And it is perfect! It fits my old mixer as advertised. And now I can make pasta very easily and quickly. And cleanup is just a quick brush with the brush that comes with it. Very satisfied!
