PHILIPS7000 Series Pasta Maker - ProExtrude Technology, Versatile Mixing Ability, 8 Shaping Discs, Perfect Dough, Easy Clean, Up to 8 Portions, White (HR2660/03)

There are very few people in this that have more kitchen equipment than I do. It is an obsession with me. This pasta maker is absolutely the best purchase of cooking equipment I have made in my life. In 10 minutes you basically have restaurant quality pasta using just flour, water, and sometimes egg. The pasta is extruded rather than rolled out & cut. On another note, if you peruse the web looking for how to videos or wanting to acquire specific dies for this machine besides the 8 included, you will quickly realize this model has a huge installed base globally and does not run short of support. No other machine comes close. This is also great for those nights when we wonder what we can have for a quick dinner....Put my premade angel hair that I made a few days ago in boiling water for two minutes , then add to a side skillet with sauce and it is all good. I highly recommend this user friendly machine to all skill levels. The best purchase I have ever made and I use it often

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!

Makes lots of fresh pasta. Many dies are available. Mixing works well. Keep the mix dry or you will fight the process. I use about half the water and have had good success. Works with regular, semolina and pasta flours including 00. Fresh pasta cooks quicker than store bought. Even your own dried pasta cooks faster than store bought.

Worked great for 3 months. The easiest way to make fresh pasta.Unfortunately, the dough while mixing pushed out the lid so much that the clip holding the lid broke. Tried to call the Phillips customer service but their phones are not responding and their chat agent he does not handle pasta makers and refers me to the phone number that does not respond.

Love this pasta maker! I have made several batches already. Easy to use and easy to clean up! I will be buying more discs to make different shapes!

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!

This machine is pretty solid. Lots of metal where it counts, which is nice. It does work well, and based on reviews for other similar machines it sounds like this is the one to get. I do wish it had some more power and used bronze/brass dies, because both those improvements would improve the final product. BUT, when you look at the most affordable options out there with double the power and brass dies, they start at about 3x the price. It would be nice to see those stats in a consumer machine that didn’t have to be imported straight from Italy, but that’s the market right now.I find the included dies to make pasta that’s thicker than I’d prefer. There are companies online that sell brass dies and an adapter, and they work quite well in this machine. More power would create more pressure against the die, which would help create stronger shapes that would hold up better to drying the pasta for long-term storage. But for the time being, my opinion is that this is the best option if you don’t want to buy a light commercial machine from Italy for $1000+.One cool thing about this is the ability to make pastas out of a variety of other flours. I’ve seen recipes for gluten-free pastas, pastas made from chickpea flour, almond flour, low-carb flour alternatives, with added squid ink or vegetable juice or powder, etc. If you really want to experiment and do some interesting things with pasta, and especially if you want hollow shapes like rigatoni and bucatini, this is going to be your best option.

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.
