Philips 7000 Series Pasta Maker - ProExtrude Technology, Versatile Mixing Ability, 8 Shaping Discs, Perfect Dough, Easy Clean, Up to 8 Portions, White (HR2660/03)

I caught this on sale and it us definitely worth what I paid. Even though it is plastic it is sturdy. I did by copper extruder pieces. The plastic ones don't make pasta as well as the copper ones. The speed the pasta comes out is perfect for me. It is not too dry or sticky. Fresh pasta cooks faster then store bought so adjust timing if cooking something to go with it. I love my pasta maker.

I made pasta professionally, and have just retired. I sold my professional extruded but still wanted to make pasta for myself and family. I did my homework and ordered the Philips 7000. I cleaned the machine out for the box and made penne as my first batch. It came out beautifully! I made just over 1/2 lb using the recipe for semolina with one egg. This machine is fantastic and fun!…really easy to clean-up as well. I am so pleased with my Philips pasta extruded and can’t wait to make a batch of spinach and beet pasta.

I absolutely love this pasta maker. It is definitely not light-weight, nor chintzy. It is solid, and quite the workhorse of a machine. It was highly recommended by members of the pasta group I'm in on fb, so when it happened to go on sale close to Christmas, I had to try it. I love that it comes with so many popular dies to get you started, and they all fit in a drawer within the compact machine. This machine is not intimidating at all, and makes having fresh pasta so easy! I loved it so much, I bought one of these machines for each of my adult children's families so they can also include the grandbabies in the fun and ease of helping make something so easy and delicious. Thier gifts all included this machine, an Escali glass scale, and a case of six 2.2kg Caputo Simola flour. I get pictures of the grandbabies having so much fun helping make pasta for their family's meals. I cannot recommend this high enough!

I returned this because it was defective and I don't want a replacement.The mixing paddle is basically a screw with appendages. When the machine is mixing the dough, the paddle spins in one direction which keeps the dough in the mixing chamber. When the machine is extruding, the paddle rotates in the opposite direction which forces the dough through the shaping disc.I weighed all of the ingredients for two disastrous batches of pasta. For the first batch I used semolina flour and followed the recipe in the manual. After the mixing cycle, the machine stopped. I attempted to use the extrusion only button but it just returned the machine to the mixing cycle. After three minutes, it switched to the extrusion cycle. I wound up with a smooth (not crumbly) dough which I tried feeding through the shaping disc. Unfortunately, a thick crust had formed in the shaping disc and the dough would not extrude. I had to take the machine apart to clean it. Eventually, I was able to feed the dough into the paddle's screw manually. The dough was so damp that the spaghetti strands stuck together. I threw the batch out.For the second batch, I used ordinary white flour and followed the recipe in the instruction manual. Once again, the machine stopped and I could not get it to go directly to the extrusion cycle. Instead of winding up with a crumbly dough, I got a smooth dough. I tried feeding it into the screw manually and once again I had to take the machine apart because a crust had formed on the shaping disc. At this point, I threw the dough out and initiated a return of the machine.

The Philips 7000 Series Pasta Maker excels with ProExtrude Technology, 8 versatile discs, and Perfect Mixing for smooth dough. Effortlessly creates up to 8 portions. HomeID app integration adds smart convenience. Efficient, user-friendly, and a kitchen must-have!
