It was very diffiult to feed the pasta into the roller and the pasta recipe included was too dry. I returned this to Filenes and with the same money, I bought the Ron Popeil pasta maker, which is very easy to uses and requires almost no work on your part. Don't buy this, buy the other Ron pasta maker. With Ron Popeil, you can just through in the ingredients and pasta comes out.

Cortez Thu, 14 Jan 2010 06:06:03 +0000 http://www.bestkitchenaidmixers.com/8/kitchenaid-kpra-pasta-roller-attachment-for-stand-mixers/#comment-20 I bought this as a replacement for my $30.00 Atlas pasta roller, thinking that it would make pasta making that much more fun. Huge mistake. <br /> <br />First off, there were quality problems. After exactly one year of use, mine broke due to low-quality steel used in one of the attachments. So I'm out $100, and I'll get over it. <br /> <br />The bigger problem is that you have to continually change out the attachments to make pasta. First, you attach the roller, and get the dough down to the proper thickness. Then you must remove the attachment, and replace it with a cutter or crimper to form the dough into its final form. Attaching, then detaching, gets very old, very fast. I felt a certain glee when I threw these pieces of junk into the dumpster. I'll look forward to my old Atlas next time I feel the need to roll pasta dough. <br /> <br />Worst thing Kitchenaid has ever made!

The recipe required much more liquid. The pasta really needed to be hung to dry and needed more cooking than the recommended time.

I learned the next day that it would not ship for 2-3 WEEKS from WHOLESALERSCLUB. I had a gift card from AMAZON so OK FINE I'll wait. I decided to check the amazon site again expecting the change in shipping times. What do I see, it is still posted as a 24 hr ship time!!!

I haven't yet heard whether they will allow a full refund. I am very disappointed! Rating: 1 / 5 This vendor shipped me defective merchandise which wasted both my time and their money.
